This is a pretty great video, featuring a high speed camera on a train, looking at a passenger platform as it passes by. More info here.
It could be one of the coolest visual examples of special relativity that I’ve seen!

Another awesome piece by Blu.
Shot from the new offices of gdgt using my iPhone 4 over the course of about 45 minutes. There’s about 4 seconds between frames.
Okay, how the heck do I get one of these?!
Hahaha. I am in love with all the vuvuzela humor.

This a pretty video of someone imitating a base jump underwater at Dean’s Blue Hole. It’s a beautiful and very well put together video.

This video is hilarious. I’m sure it’s some viral marketing campaign, but I love it. The whole premise behind it is brilliant.
The World Cup is almost upon us and Nike released a brilliant soccer commercial that debuted during yesterday’s UEFA Champions League Final. It’s called “Write the Future”, and features various players from around the world, writing their own destiny depending on what happens in the World Cup. It’s an epic and often hilarious commercial.
My personal favorite Nike soccer commercial is from Euro 2008, called “Take it to the Next Level”, which shows a soccer player’s career evolve in first person view. (See previously)
Lastly, this soccer commercial from Euro 2004, pokes fun at the Italian national team’s propensity for “diving“. Via Wikipedia:
Diving in the context of association football is an attempt by a player to gain an unfair advantage by diving to the ground and possibly feigning an injury, to appear as if a foul has been committed. Dives are often used to exaggerate the amount of contact present in a challenge.
