This is absolutely brilliant. Absolutely. Brilliant.
Vincente (hat tip) from Criticker Movie Blog put it better than I would hope to do myself:
“Although missing the classic score and sound effects, such as Darth Vader’s breathing or the lightsaber’s hum, Star Wars is strangely compelling as a silent film. With dramatically costumed actors scurrying about futuristic sets, one could almost see the film as a precursor to Metropolis.”
Nice play of the Metropolis card, I must say. For one more check out Vincente’s post.

Any guesses on where this takes place before seeing the end? Reasons? (And don’t answer if you already know, that’s so lame!)
Consider what circumstances would lead to such an obscene display of über-cuteness.
Try not to swoon too ultra-hard.

So I was playing around & experimenting just now with an 8-minute star trail shot I took the other night (playing around/experimenting = something didn’t work the way I wanted, in this case, it was so dark I couldn’t find anything on which to focus, & the entire scene is horrendously blurry), & while adding some color overlays I needed to know what color was opposite blue (turns out it’s yellow). Naturally, I sauntered on over to Google’s Image Search (which suddenly has a totally new functionality) & looked for …

I’ve never attempt time-lapse photography, but I want to play around with it someday. This just gives me all the more reason. Amazing that this was done with a still camera!

Remember The Princess Bride? I do. In fact when my best buddy of my childhood & I had sleepovers we’d fall asleep reciting the movie word-for-word. Ever wonder what Fred Savage was thinking?

Just watch. If this doesn’t make you smile, I give up.

Watch out! The animation, movement, & music in this video are pretty racy. So is the set of swaying hips.

Think you’re too old to play? Think again. Or don’t think at all & just have some fun!

The Academy Awards may already have passed this year, but I’ve got an inside tip on a SHOE-IN for next year!

Or rather, Sea of Glass by Sean Vicary. It won’t pay your bills, do your grocery shopping, or improve your physique, but it just may give you a smile, which outta help with those other things.
