Not just because I'm a Scotch-drinker (yes, blended as well as malts), but also because I'm a fan of actor Robert Carlyle, I enjoy both bagpipes and the Highlands, and have always been a big fan of master shots...

Great music video for the Japanese band Sour, utilising fan's webcams from all over the world.  Shot on literally a zero budget (that's right, $0.00), it's hugely creative and lots of fun.

Article on how director Magico Nakamura put it all together can be found here.

Brilliant stop-motion animation here from Tomas Mankovsky... very cool technique, sticking a stills camera to the ceiling.

...and who doesn't like a schlocky zombie flick, especially when it's told from the zombie's POV? 

Apparently, the feature "Colin" (clip here) was made for US$70... British indie director Marc Price apparently got his volunteer cast by advertising on Facebook for zombie actors, then had them bring their own make-up, costumes, props, and effects... clever.

Very good (if a bit self-serving) "making of"... followed by the actual ad itselfwhich is pretty cool.  I mean, who doesn't  love putting up a 60-foot crane in the middle of the desert for a nighttime shoot?

But it occurs to me that if this car is supposed to be an "energy-saving" hybrid, isn't this a rather extravagant way of advertising it... by turning the lights of about a thousand cars on and off all night long...?
