This video speaks for itself...


While browsing Youtube I stumbled across some interesting stuff that I thought I would share. I don't really have too much to say about this particular video, or collection of pictures rather, because I think that it speaks for itself. Some of these people are crazy! Some of my favorites: forehead tattoos (especially the "stupid" one), the breakfast plate on the man's head, the guy pushing a lawn mower, and I found the "cunt puncher" one to be very interesting (I don't know if I am offended or want to laugh at it). One last thing, it amazes me how many people are getting logos tattooed on their bodies (myspace!).

Parkour Kids



As silly as this video was, I did enjoy how they were able to bring an up-beat tone to something, like vocabulary, that is not usually considered "fun." The different editing techniques that were used in the video, especially with "Par Kour" slamming in the screen and the explosive landing made by one of the parkour boys, were interesting and kept me engaged. It makes me want to experiment with editing more to evoke different moods, emotions, or themes. While the video is in no way "artsy" or really even creative for that matter, I applaud the them on sparking my interest and keeping me engaged until the end.
