Vid Remix: Smooth Jazz Metallica, Death Metal Louis Armstrong, and Creed Shreds

Best Enter Sandman yet. (Thanks, Jess)

Once again, editing and soundtrack makes all the difference.

Satchmo possessed by Death Metal Rooster? Pretty much. And pretty damn awesome.

I still laugh out loud at all the Creed Shreds vids. They’ve got the extra layer of commentary that’s oh so tasty. Check out this one, too. (Thanks, Dylan!)

Time Lapse: Jeremy Fish “As The Mind Wanders” for Decoder Ring

See all 21 layers in this time-lapse vid for #10 in a series …

Jeremy Fish Time Lapse: As The Mind Wanders, Decoder Ring #10

The Decoder Ring Design Concern is a design partnership in Austin, TX whose mission is “to do work we love for clients we admire.” They also do a series of fine art prints where they let you click-through the process layers of each artist’s work. Making the finished product that much more impressive.

This is the tenth installment in their Decoder Print Artist Series. Past artists include Tara McPherson, Gary Baseman, and Dalek.

Following this over the last several days I thought it’d be rad to see ’em in motion. Edison’s “Tonka Truck” felt like the perfect soundtrack. Enjoy.

InfoMania: The Top 5 Poopy Pop Songs on iTunes

Yes, that’s the dude from We Got That B Roll, Sergio CilliThe White Hot Top Five is a recurring segment on InfoMania on Current TV. Highly recommended.

Though I’ll always love The Soup, it’s not on Hulu. And I don’t always want to track down a torrent. InfoMania satisfies the same need for rapid-fire pop culture tidbits, but broadens the scope from daytime TV to real-life absurdities, like the iTunes Top Five. Watch it, buddy.

Look: New Tron Legacy Trailer, New Daft Punk Remix by Shiryu

Click to watch the new Tron Legacy trailer. More plot and less bikes. But the FX on the final bike scene / smash more than make up for it. Flynn Lives!

Trailer: Spike Jonze x Absolut Vodka Short Film “I’m Here”

Pretty and pretty depressing all at the same time.

The only direction Absolut Vodka gave Spike Jonze was to make something important to him.  So he made a love story about two robots living in Los Angeles. The 30-minute short gets global release in March.

Pogo takes sound and visual bits from flicks and remixes them into entirely new music/videos. What a cool idea executed wonderfully. Oh, and he’s 21.

Stop Motion: T-Shirt War and Human Flipbook Video

Wow. Rhett & Link changed shirts over 100 times each, not to mention design each one in the first place. See the Making Of T-Shirt War here. Nice work, guys.

It’s like a hyper-evolution of the video Colle+McVoy did in 2007,
