This is wonderful.
Timelapse of a 30 day voyage by the Gunhilde Maersk container ship as it treks through clear seas and storms from the Red Sea via the Gulf of Aden to Hong Kong, unloading in various ports along the way.
Full screen a must.

Bad Lip Reading marks the third season of Narcos with their own extended trailer for a new comedy drama. To wit:
DEA agents convince an untrained Pablo Escobar doppelganger to infiltrate the drug lord’s lair, though things don’t go quite as planned…
Totoro, Catbus, Kaonashi, Ponyo and other characters from Studio Ghibli animations deftly inserted into real world scenes by South Korean video editor Kojer (who explains all the tech in the second video).
Bugging Out

A chap and his friend ‘Icky’ discover a strange phenomenon on Nellie Lake in California. To wit, insects on the water surface responding to the sound of Icky’s voice:
The insect reacting to the shout is the Water Boatman (Corixidae). The lake has very few, if any, fish in it, so a huge population of water bugs, mostly Corixidae (from what we could see). For whatever reason, the ones that happen to be on the surface when we shout shoot forward rapidly when they hear a loud voice. The ones that are underwater don’t react at all. They don’t react to a clap. The only thing that got a reaction out of them was shouting. They seemed to prefer “Hey!” You could actually “see” the speed of sound by watching their reaction propagate across the lake.

Peacockspiderman (possibly not his real name) sez:
A short compilation of 51 Australian peacock spiders. I filmed these and few additional ones that I didn’t find space for in this clip over the last few years. Thanks to Universal Music for allowing me to use the Bee Gees track. I often thought it is the perfect tune for letting peacock spiders dance to…

A short scene from the Japanese educational TV programme Design Ah in which – with the help of the EX NOVO Chamber Choir – Daihei Shibata charts various moments of tension happening on screen.
Two years ago, assistant researcher at UCLA’s Earth Planetary and Space Science Program Melanie Barboni from Switzerland installed a hummingbird feeder outside the window of her office.
Since then, she’s collected over 200 new feathered friends and earned herself an on-campus nickname. She sez:
This is cheesy, but I have seen them help people. They make my life happy. Having a crappy day? Who cares — there are hummingbirds around…Having a good day? Hummingbirds make it better. …My dearest dream as a child was to see hummingbirds. Imagine my joy when I found out that my next job assignment would bring me to Los Angeles, where hummingbirds live year-round.
An experimental art film by Maxim Zhestkov featuring the movement of over two billion black and white spheres in a series of enclosed spaces.
The physics of each animation (flow, diffusion, pressure, etc.) is displayed by subtle text on the walls of each space. Zhestkov sez:
The film is a trial to explore the idea that everything around us and inside us is made from simple elements or blocks which can be arranged in complex relationships and become compound structures. We could project this idea into emotions, behaviors, thought processes, relationships, life, planets and the universe.
