Brilliant Flying Bug

MikroKopter - HexaKopter from Holger Buss on Vimeo.


OK, I’LL BE HONEST WITH YOU. THIS VIDEO IS 12 MINUTES LONG. I KNOW—BUT TRUST ME HERE. I WATCHED EVERY MINUTE OF IT, fascinated by the brilliance of this home-made flying machine. If flight fascinates you— if “garage-built” ingenuity is something you find interesting, then you’ll like this video.

I’m a prankster at heart, and could really have some fun with this machine. Just imagine! :-)

More Than Words

HERE’S A WONDERFUL TYPOGRAPHIC ANIMATION BY A GUY NAMED RONNIE BRUCE, a film student at Temple University. I found this on Vimeo. Nicely done visual interpretation of a poem by Taylor Mali.

Red Rabbit

A MAN LIVES ALONE IN A SMALL APARTMENT. The little contact he had with other people has dropped to zero since the rabbit appeared. Every attempt to get the rabbit out of his apartment has failed and since he is not sure whether or not pets are allowed in the building, he does not let anybody enter his apartment.

Poetry in Motion

Flying from Sam Fuller on Vimeo.

FOR YOUR SATURDAY MORNING CARTOON, enjoy this short video by Sam Fuller, a video artist that I happily discovered. Poetry comes in many forms. There are no words, just the beautiful flight of a paper airplane.
