Video Saturday #19 - Time Lapse

On this Video Saturday I will show you some swell time lapse movies. They’re done by either speeding up normal footage, or by taking photographs in certain intervals and then sticking them together.


A thunderstorm time lapse video. Note how at some point,
the clouds are going in two different directions.


Time Lapse in the Antarctica. Fascinating.
(Click for more videos by Antzarctica.)


The famous Dove Evolution time lapse. Must see!


This one is called A Beautiful Storm Cloud Time Lapse (with a surprise).

And last but not least:

Time Lapse in San Francisco at night. Very pretty.

Enjoy and comment!

Video Saturday #14 - Cops

Today’s Video Saturday is about the police. Not the band, no. It’s about police officers, some crazy ones and some just doing their job.

This first video is of a cop named Officer Salvatore Rivieri, who roughs up a skateboarder. He’s been a police officer for 17 years and boy, was he mean to that young skateboarding kid that called him “dude”. He’s been suspended after the incident, and rightly so.

This next video is called “Police Brutality at
Drive Thru”. I think some cops get a superiority
complex and think they can do everything
they want to just because they have a uniform
and a weapon. What a jerk.

However, the police are brave when it’s
about chasing cars, even when the people
in them are more than reluctant to get caught.

They also have to pull over drunk drivers, because
driving drunk kills people. If you drive drunk,
you’re not only putting your own lives at stake.
So don’t do it.

And here’s another video, this time with a drunk
guy, a police officer, and a taser. This
video is to show you that what you see on
TV is not true, you don’t pass out for hours
after having been tasered. Also, it’s a
word of warning: if you’re pulled over,
you’d better listen to the officer.

That’s all for today. Maybe next time I’ll have a more exciting topic. :)

UPDATE: Here’s another video someone pointed me to (you know who you are). It’s the Spanish police trying to deal with a drunk person. Drunk people suck!

Video Saturday #9 - Speeches

Today’s Video Saturday is all about speeches. Today you have to click on the images to get to the YouTube site with the video.

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but the content of their character.” - Martin Luther King, Jr. [See the transcript here]

Hillel Neuer of UN Watch exposes the hypocrisy of the UN Human Rights Council (March 23, 2007). For the first time ever, the Council president, Ambassador Luis Alfonso de Alba of Mexico, rejects the speech as “inadmissible” and bans it from ever being delivered again.

“I decide to bite my tongue instead of his
and resist the urge to remind the other dinner guests
that it’s also true what they say about lawyers.” - Taylor Mali

“I believe the government that governs best is the government that governs least. And by these standards, we have set up a fabulous government in Iraq.” - Stephen Colbert [See transcript here]

“All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin, and, therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words “Ich bin ein Berliner.”" - John F. Kennedy [See transcript here]
