5 Videos Meme

[furtech]

[Thanks to Okojosan!]

I think the point of this meme is to list five videos you can watch over and over again. That's a pretty broad parameter that doesn't take into account length or venues (YouTube is limited to 10 minutes or so) or reasons (is it hypnotic? Funny? Weird?). But...here are my choices. And yes, I can't count.

40 Inspirational Speeches In 2 Minutes

Kinetic Typography: "A Geographical Oddity" (From "O Brother, Where Art Thou?")"

Anyone who has worked in an art deptartment can emphasize: "An Advertising Parable For The Holidays"

Those Kooky Japanese: A Potato Chip Commercial

More cynicism: "When I Grow Up I Wanna Work in Advertising"

Bonus (it's short)--an actual commercial from Stanford University: "Laser Cat"

OH GODS the Advertising Parable I'd forgotten about that! LOL! I'm sending that to my History of Design teacher and telling him he should show it in class. :D BWA!

(In fact, we had a student fight with the "client" the other day about some stuff for our second big Project. It was cringe-inducing, 'cause here's this kid out of high school fighting with the "client" (a teacher, but they have the program set up with three teachers, one a client, one the art director, and one the production manager). Argh!

Also the Laser Cat video is hilarious. :D

Totally give your teacher that video (and maybe the, "When I grow up I want to be in advertising," vid). Laser cat is funniest official university video I've ever seen. Stanford is so cool.
