Indiana Jones: Stop Motion


In honor of the 30th anniversary of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jeff Gurwood provides us with a shot-by-shot stop motion recreation of the opening scene. In some ways I still think of the original as a "perfect" movie.

Dr Breakfast!


Funny and surreal. When a man's soul goes on vacation, two deer take care of his catatonic body at home.

Faster than light-speed camera.


By combining multiple high-speed exposures with very short laser pulses, MIT has figured out how to image waves of photons as they travel across a scene. Absolute genius. I actually met Doc Edgerton (referenced in the video) when I was a teenager. He would be impressed.
