Mutiny bikes was smart (or dumb) enough to fasten a 7D to a remote control helicopter and shoot footage at the new Austin skatepark. The result is unique and really cool.

This video is actually a gorgeous lookbook for fashion designer Stephen Alan’s spring/summer collection from 2010. We’re a little late on getting to this one, but it’s such a beautiful piece of cinematography that time doesn’t really matter. Shot in the waning days of summer, the film features DJ/Actor/Film-Maker Matt Creed and the up and coming Canadian actress Liane Balaban as a young couple who finds that it is harder to “escape” in the country then they had thought. I wish more fashion labels would put this much love and life into their lookbooks.

Stuxnet is a highly complex computer virus that was discovered in July 2010 designed to target industrial software and equipment. It was found on computers at an Iranian nuclear test facility and was programmed to remain dormant until it made its way to the computers that control centrifuges that spin nuclear material. It had the ability to operate the centrifuges at will, all the while telling computers and workers that everything was fine. It has been called the first open source weapon completely made of code. It weighs only 1MB in binary, and required a specialized team of hackers at Microsoft to disarm.

This is a gorgeous video produced by Patrick Clair for Australian TV program HungryBeast on Australia’s ABC1. The information is highly interesting, but what makes this video incredible is the fact that the graphics are really beautiful, but not distracting or superfluous. They perfectly support the content and make it even more engaging.

This is a really nice video illustrating a lecture Sir Ken Robinson gave on the state of education. I didn’t plan on watching a 12 minute video on education, but the white-board animation is mesmerizing, and I believe, totally real.

If you’re looking for ideas for dinner this weekend, check out this gorgeous video by a guy named William Hereford who shows us that dinner can be so much more appetizing if you put a little production value into it. Every frame of this video looks like a glamour shot from a gourmet magazine, and you forget that you’re watching a cooking show. The french music helps get into the right mood, too.

This is the video for Josh Ritter’s song, The Curse from his latest album, So Runs the World Away. It’s a great song with a great story, and the visual representation just makes it that much more beautiful. I never really understood the last line of the song until this video, but now it’s my favorite line. For best results, watch it in 720p.

This is a beautiful video by a guy named Colin Hesterly, who I had never heard of before, but I’ll definitely be keeping my eye on him from now on. He has an impressive portfolio of motion and video stuff, and this is just one of those pieces. I encourage you to go check out the rest.

If you haven’t seen this already, it’s worth dropping whatever you’re doing for a few minutes and checking out Arcade Fire’s video for their song We Used to Wait. I wouldn’t describe this as a music video, as much as an innovative HTML5 experience. It’s amazing to see what can be done without flash, and this is just the start of an HTML5 era. Three cheers for <canvas>!

Here’s the site. Great song and album too.
