The beat was stuck in my head for days. My youngest brother says it’s a Daft Punk song. Having done some of these on a small scale all I can say is that this must have taken them HOURS (if not days) to do!
Yellow Fever
A really fun mockumentary about why Asian girls are always dating non-Asian men by the team at Wong Fu Productions:
OPA
If you want to see a REALLY, REALLY good animation, check out Three Legged Legs’ Samurai. It’s about 2-3 minutes long and it’s a wonderful little cartoon set in a stylized ancient japan.
A pretty interesting animation was done on Blender by an Arabic team. You can watch it here.
Why XML files are so much better than Binary files
For my latest animation, " Jose’s Dinner", I was using Cinelerra for the 2D animatic. I was working on it while I was at my in-law’s house so I was using the laptop. However, we try to use the laptop as little as possible to keep extend the life of the laptop, so when I got back home I wanted to work on it here. However, the files were in different folders than on the laptop. But, since Cinelerra uses XML files, all I had to do was load the file into Emacs and do a find/replace to replace the old folders with the new ones and it worked! With a binary file that would be impossible since the information is not represented as text!
An interesting animation
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if the Walmart logo danced to regeton, a mostly crappy mix of reggae and booty music? Me neither! That’s why this video was so surprising. Enjoy!

Mac vs PC ad gets an update
Some guys over at Novell decided to update the Mac v PC ads to become Mac v PC v Linux. I think they’re pretty creative and he gives a great reason behind the choices he made for the video.
I’ve got the videos here, below, but be sure to follow the link above and see how they came up with it.
Clean Conscious
A parody I made a few years ago for church along with Kyle, Mauricio, Jared, Julia, and Gene.
