LA with no cars?!
What would the landscape look like in Los Angeles without vehicles? Running on Empty from Ross Ching is a short time lapse video on what that might look like.
Skateboarding

Out of the Forest

In DanseDance, from Julien Vallée and Nicolas Burrows, the artists look at the everyday objects around us and help us see the extraordinary from the ordinary. The video shows the process.

Natural Gas – the Softest of Warmth
I came across this charming video via Ghostly Ferns’ blog and couldn’t help posting this Natural Gas stop motion commercial produced by Belgium based, LovoFilms and directed by Olivier Babinet.

I was happy to hear that the book was to become a movie and that the charming Julia Roberts was chosen to play […]
