Etterbeek Station Animation
2007-02-14 05:42:02
This is creative. The video shows images painted on the walls at a train station. Etterbeek Stat ion , but the description does not say what city. I wonder if the images were drawn there as grafetti or if it was planned by the city. It is creative. The video looks like it was donw in stop motion, but I have to wonder what it looks like as you just go by in the train. Tags: animation, stop motion, google video, video, videorambler

Cow Kisses Kitten
2007-02-14 05:42:02
This is just cute. One of those things that you don't see everyday, and probably don't catch on camera to often. That is one cute kitten.Tags: cow, kitten, youtube, video, videorambler

Nora, The Piano-Playing Cat
2007-02-14 05:42:02
This looks like it is a regular activity for Nora the cat. I wonder if Nora plays in the middle of the night. I can just see the owners getting woken up at 3am by Nora playing away. Tags: cat, piano, youtube, video, videorambler

Geri's Game
2007-02-14 05:42:02
This is a live action version of the Pixar animated short film of the same name. I am very impressed with the work they did on this. I checked out the clip from Pixar of Geri 's Game , unfortunately it is only a few minutes, but the live action version is better in many ways. I have to give a hand to the makers they did a great job.Tags: pixar, short film, youtube, video, videorambler

Baby Sloth
2007-02-13 11:40:02
I never knew that baby sloths were so cute. I saw lots of sloths down in Costa Rica a few years ago when I was down there on a holiday. Might not be the same type of sloth, but hard to tell I never got as close as this video. This little guy just can't seem to stay awake.Tags: animals, sloth, youtube, video, videorambler

Iceland
2007-02-13 11:40:02
An animated short film from the German Film School. The story of Pierre the penguin and Boris the bear, trying to catch a fish. Overall a very well done animation. I like the accents that the characters have, gave me a little chuckle.Tags: short film, german film school, youtube, video, videorambler

Web 2.0 ... The Machine is Us/ing Us
2007-02-09 11:37:01
The geek inside of me finds this video fascinating. The video looks at the web and how it has progressed and how Web 2 .0 is changing the way the web is not just about connecting pages and ideas, but is actually about people. Well that is what I got. Maybe you will get something else.Tags: web 2.0, internet, youtube, video, videorambler

Pac-Man Live Action
2007-02-09 11:37:01
Who came up with this? I laughed so loud as i watched this that my wife was wondering what the heck was happening. I would never have thought that watching a live action version of Pac Man would make me laugh so hard. I don't want to give it away but when Pac Man gets caught it is just hilarious, at least it is for me tonight.Tags: video game, pac man, youtube, video, videorambler

Doctor Who and the French Dalek
2007-02-09 11:37:01
Mashups are just fun, especially when they are done well. This video combines the French taunting from Monty Pythons Holy Grail and Doctor Who . Why is it that science fiction and Monty Pythons the Holy Grail seems to get mashup so often?Tags: , , youtube, video, videorambler

Speaking of Animals
2007-02-07 23:36:01
There is just something funny about animals talking. I remember seeing the television show Mr. Ed in reruns and thinking it was absolutely hilarious as a kid. Here are two videos featuring animals singing for you. I think the cow one is a little better but both are good.Cow Cow BoogieDown on the FarmTags: animals, music, youtube, video, videorambler

The World's First Surfing Mice - The Radical Rodents
2007-02-06 11:35:01
These mice are awesome! It is just so cute. They do a pretty good job of surfing, but I have to wonder how they trained them to do this. I can't see the mice wanting to learn this on their own, although it would keep them pretty safe from cats. What cat is going to jump into the water to get them.Tags: surfing, mice, youtube, video, videorambler

ATHF Movie Trailer
2007-02-06 11:35:01
A friend of mine got me hooked on watching Aqua Teen Hunger Force. I have no idea why I like to watch the show. I think it is just so ridiculous that I can't help but laugh at it. How many shows have french fries, a shake and a meatball as the main characters. The thought of Aqua Teen Hunger Force creating a movie is, to be honest, a little disturbing, but I find myself drawn to watch the trailer.Tags: athf, movie, youtube, video, videorambler

Windows Vista Install in 2 Minutes
2007-02-04 23:33:02
This is excellent! I was expecting to see some videos of people installing Wind ows Vista but this is even better. I just wish I had the money to waste to do what he does to Microsoft's new OS. From what I have been reading and hearing I would not touch Vista until the first or perhaps second service pack comes out for it. I has been sounding like a nightmare for hardware, even brand new hardware. Drivers are non existent, and hardware manufacturers are still working to create drivers that are stable. I also read a story saying the Windows Vista pretty much kills iTunes and iPods. Good job Microsoft. Way to win back consumers. If you want to try a good operating system, go and check out Ubuntu Linux. I have switched my notebook and desktop to Ubuntu and will never go back to Windows.Tags: microsoft, windows, youtube, video, videorambler

Log Driver's Waltz
2007-02-03 11:31:01
It is a lazy Sunday afternoon, perfect for a great Canadian animated short. This is the classic National Film Board Log Drive r's Waltz. I remember seeing this all the time when I was younger. The song gets stuck in my head and I end up whistling it out of the blue.Tags: animation, nfb, myspace, video, videorambler

They're Just Computers
2007-02-03 11:31:01
This is a great parody of the new Apple ads. The new Apple ads kind of annoy me actually. They make PC's look like they don't do anything fun. Try to find any good video games available for the Mac and see how much better gaming is on the PC, and I don't even play video games very often. Anyways back to this video. There are bloopers at the end of the video that are really funny. The bloopers are almost as funny as the parody. Another great job by DCLugi.Warning: Contains some adults words.Tags: dclugi, parody, youtube, video, videorambler

The Letter - Animated Lego Film!
2007-02-02 11:30:02
Looks like it is a stop motion animation day today. A very well done Lego animation. It almost seems like the main Lego character actually has expressions as he goes to mail his letter. It is a pretty impressive video considering it is recorded with a web camera. Tags: stop motion, lego, youtube, video, videorambler

Cardboard Box Race
2007-02-02 11:30:02
I don't read to many other blogs, I just don't have time for it, but today I visited blog called "Say No to Crack" and they had this video on the front page. I thought the video was very well done so here it is. You have to love some of the things people are doing with stop motion animation these days. The ability for the average person to be able to create a video like this is great.Tags: stopmotion, animation, youtube, video, videorambler

Extreme Photo Retouching
2007-02-02 11:30:02
People that can retouch photos like this amaze me. I can do some interesting things with Photo shop/The Gimp but I am nowhere close to this level of work. It makes you wonder if everything you see has not been retouched somehow. Tags: photoshop, photography, youtube, video, videorambler

Happy Birthday Video Rambler!
2007-02-02 11:30:02
Well today is February 1st and it was one year ago that I started Video Ramble r, although it did not get that name until March. The first video I post was "500kV Switch Opening" which is still a really cool video to watch if you have not seen it yet. Video Rambler has become a great hobby for me to do, and in many ways has replaced my television watching habit in the evenings, except for Corner Gas. Video Rambler has already out lived some other similar video blogs out there, most notably Google Video of the Day (GoogleTube) which in many ways was the inspiration for this video blog. I still try to post videos that I find interesting, funny and unique while staying away from those videos of people hurting themselves, being publicly embarrassed or generally doing stupid things.I hope you have enjoyed the last year of Video Rambler and I look forward to many more interesting, funny and unique videos in the next year. Happy Birth day Video Rambler!Todays video is actually a rerun of Hap...

Flintstones Express
2007-02-02 11:30:02
I felt like reliving my youth a little bit today and I went searching for the Flintstones. They were always on at lunch time when I was in grade school and I remember always watching them as I ate my lunch. I must have seen most of the episodes 4 or 5 times if not more. Well a quick search yielded far to many clips of episodes, but as I went through them quickly this one caught my eye. It is an entire episode of the Flintstones in a minute.Tags: flintstones, tv, youtube, video, videorambler

Ship Floating on Nothing!
2007-02-02 11:30:02
This is one of those science experiments that just looks cool. I mean how many people can put an aluminum boat in a fish tank filled with what appears to be nothing and have it float. Apparently the tank is filled with hexafluoride gas, and that is why the boat floats. I suppose I just spoiled the video, but oh well you will get over it.Tags: chemistry, interesting, youtube, video, videorambler

Cocotte Minute

This is a very well done animation about a bunch of chefs and two unlucky chickens forced to race to what could be their end. I never knew that watching two animated chickens could be so funny.

Time-lapse Moonrise
2007-02-02 11:30:02
One thing about living here in Saskatchewan is that we can always talk about the weather. The forecast here for the next few days is for a deep freeze, day time highs of -20 Celsius. Yes that is the HIGH. That does not include the wind chill. What does any of that have to do with this video, this video is where I want to go this week. Anyone out there want to send me a ticket to Hawaii so I can see this in person.Tags: time-lapse, hawaii, youtube, video, videorambler

Pachelbel Rant

A comedian ranting about the cello part in Pachelbel Canon in D. My description is not as good as the video. Take the time to watch it. Kind of a Weird Al meets classical music thing.

Aaron Fotheringham: First Back Flip in Wheelchair

Well this is the first time I have ever seen someone do a back flip in a wheelchair. It is a short clip but interesting to see how he does it. I sure would not attempt anything like that, but I am not really an extreme kind of person.Tags: extreme, wheelchair, youtube, video, videorambler

Hand Made Star Wars

This is certainly different. A reenactment of the attack on the death star from Star War s done with just hands. They get an A for creativity, and it sounds good. They must have used music from the original soundtrack. Tags: hands, star wars, youtube, video, videorambler

Door Store
2007-02-02 11:30:02
It is very cold here these days. We had a high of -23°C, then add the wind chill on top it was close to -40°C. What does any of that have to do with this video, well our back door is not closing very well and we could just use a new door there. I guess we should head on down to the Door Stor e and pick on up.Tags: short film, , youtube, video, videorambler
