singing tesla coil

This is a Tesla Coil which has been modulated to create music. Apparently, it’s really loud:

What’s not immediately obvious in this video is how loud this is. Many people were covering their ears, dogs were barking. In the sections where the crowd is cheering and the coils is starting and stopping, you can hear the the crowd is drowned out by the coil when it’s firing.

Hold with it.

Graffiti Research Labs (GRL) did a clever hack and turned those crazy plasma displays at subway stations into signs that say “NYC’s TRUE GRAFFITI PROBLEM,” “ADVERTISING = GRAFFITI” and simply “GRAFFITI.”

black sheep!

I cannot believe this is a trailer for a New Zealand horror film about killer sheep. Yes, that’s right, attack killer sheep, in the style of Night of the Living Dead. But, it isn’t a joke or a fake trailer — the film is currently playing in New York City. Don’t know if I ever will see the film, but the trailer is worth watching, partly because of the accidental (intentional?) humor.

bring the love back

From Microsoft Advertising Solutions, comes a little story about the relationship between a “traditional” advertiser and the consumer, on the verge of a break up. It showcases in a very funny way the current growing pains of the advertising industry.

A predictable ending doesn’t mean you stop watching a movie. This short by Evan Bernard is proof, possibly the longest handshake ever recorded on film. (thanks matt)
