A few videos.
March 22, 2010
I came across a video called How to be open-minded. It’s a very nicely illustrated, succinct and logical explanation into open- vs close-minded thinking and behaviour, just a shame the focus is mainly on creationist theories from an atheist’s standpoint however its message can be interpreted in a broader sense.
That lead me onto Instruction Manual for Life which is another nice animation, this time about tolerance of difference using a nice little metaphor of cupboards. It’s quite cleverly done actually, reflecting idealism rather than theism and I like how he realises that there is space in the cupboard for all but fuck me that’s one ugly cupboard!
A couple of other really cool videos my housemate recommended me:
- DEADLINE – a stop-motion video of post-it animation
- This Too Shall Pass – music video by OK Go featuring an immense Rude Goldberg Machine. Turns out they’ve done a couple of videos – just saw Here It Goes Again which is a genius bit of choreography! I don’t think much of their music and they clearly have lots of money to spend on making cool videos but definitely worth a watch.
