There’s a guy on YouTube who goes by the name StSanders who splices his own mediocre (to put it politely) guitar playing over footage of guitar legends playing, with exquisite synchro between the video and audio. The results are hilarious: [Eddie Van Halen shreds](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXbCt_1mrak) [Jake E Lee shreds](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eqtk6kKTlDM) (pay close attention to the clapping and my favorite, [Carlos Santana shreds](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNoZg9kl-zE) (the MIDI drum solo at about 30 seconds just KILLS me) ---

That kiwi video is incredibly sad. Why is that? Is it the music? The big eyes? The inevitability and the knowledge that we know that he knows what _has_ to happen? I’m getting all misty over an animated bird! What the hell is wrong with me?! ---

Signing for the deaf (with [translation for the dumb](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zvul3DC4l4E)). Loved the time lapse hot air balloons; I never would’ve thought they moved so much like jellyfish. ---

[QUOTE=Khadaji] The last time we discussed this there was a faction that maintained that if he is smart enough to build all of that, he was smart enough to have a giant pillow at the bottom… [/QUOTE] The same argument could be used towards Wile E. Coyote. (Actually, I didn’t get what the point of _Kiwi!_ was until I read it in an interview with the animator- I understood the Kiwi was trying to fly, but I didn’t realize it involved jumping off a cliff with trees hanging from it to pretend he was flying) Here’s another animated film I really enjoy: [Rabbit](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1Dxn3VWOws), a tale of greed involving two children, a rabbit, and a jam-loving god. ---
