Parkour from some guys in Cambridge, UK.

And almost as fun to watch – some parkour outtakes.

Students at HAWK Hildesheim put together this excellent stop motion piece depicting colours. Stop motion takes plenty of time and prep to put together, but I hate to think what they would do if they made a mistake with the paint.

This short film is superb. Great visualisation of how your OS would run if everything was analogue!

Parkour or not, this Damien chap has some amazing aerial talents. He’s making all those twists and turns look easy, but I’d hate to have his knees at 50.

Multi-talented Aung Zaw Oo takes parkour-style skills in a different direction by throwing in skateboards, swords and some mild juggling into the mix.

I can’t help but stare at these huge monster cows! Apparently, they originate in 19th century Belgium by crossing local cattle with British cattle.

The Belgian Blue cattle are gigantic bovine wonders. Their enormous size and muscle mass, sometimes called “double muscling,” is a naturally occurring mutation of the gene for myostatin, a protein that regulates muscle growth. This mutation results in accelerated lean muscle growth.

For show, they’re often shaved to show off their muscle growth.

See this video below for a little insight into their “development”. Watch as they collect the semen from one bull for artificial insemination (not kidding!)

Watch this short video to see members of the dance group Pilobolus come together behind the screen to create some cool shadow puppet scenes. The best bits have to be the moment just before the scenes are created.

Thanks David!

There’s some wicked airs and spins in this video, shot in Edinburgh. I never thought a bike could clear such heights and obstacles, but more for the creative I guess.

Ok, this has been around the block as well as sitting on my list for ages, but still no less impressive. TV network Cuatro commissioned Barcelona-based, audio-visual specialists, Kotoc to make the idents for the UEFA Euro 2008 competition.

Kotoc were briefed with “robots, football and superheroes” and created a campaign consisting of small sequences in which extreme football, action and science fiction merge.

Check Behance to watch the Cuatrobots!

There’s a few idents there, but they’re short and very sweet.
