I don’t update often here, but I feel like spending whatever small amount of Google juice is left on directing anyone searching for “Veronica GIF so lifelike” to Veronica Belmont’s excellent XOXO Festival talk where she explains how dehumanizing it has been to have a few seconds from her TV show turned into a creepy meme …

How to: doing time-lapse driving videos with a GoPro Hero3
A few months ago, I picked up a GoPro Hero 3 camera and I recorded a few bike races on it. While playing with the integrated iPhone app, I noticed there was a time-lapse option so I decided to play around with it. After an hour of testing on a couple short drives, I tried …

iMovie on the iPhone 4
The other day I was at a friend's house and we set up a slip 'n slide for our daughters to play on. I took out my new phone, recorded a couple clips of the setup and a few clips of them using it. I had downloaded iMovie earlier (it's $5 in the app store …
Another breakthrough for the low budget filmmaker
I posted this on MetaFilter but I can embed video here so I’ll do that as well. What happens when you strap a $1700 digital SLR camera doing full HD video to a $2k remote controlled helicopter?

Khan Academy
My favorite project and talk from GEL 2010 was this one by Sal Khan. His amazing Khan Academy is what happens when you sit down and simply share comprehensive knowledge on every subject imaginable and make it freely accessible to as many people as possible. http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=11731351&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1 Sal Khan at Gel 2010 from Gel Conference on …
Fantastic body boarding video
The video game-like surfing video of Matt Meola blew minds a few months ago and I'd say there are some sections of this body boarding video that come close, where guys are absolutely hucking themselves out of waves and doing some pretty insane barrel rolls on monster waves. It's filmed beautifully too. http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=8614771&server=vimeo.com&show_title=0&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00adef&fullscreen=1
La Blogotheque takeaway shows
I’m a late comer to La Blogotheque’s Takeaway shows (Andy turned me onto them six months ago). From what I gather, the site is like a French Pitchfork, and when musicians come visit, a video director and sound guy throw some instruments at the musicians and they play wherever they can. Buses, street corners, and …
Jimmy Fallon as Neil Young doing the Fresh Prince theme

Though I bet Anil has seenit, here’s a brilliant goofy video from the Vimeo crew called Auto Tuning: http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=3718294&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00adef&fullscreen=1Auto Tuning from Casey D on Vimeo.
