Youtuber and Britney fan Volinez Spears deftly edits himself into the video for Work, Bitch.
Übergeek Tom Murphy took all the lines spoken in English in Star Wars: A New Hope and divided them up into 11,684 single-word clips.
He then alphabetised all 11,684 and cut them into a 48 minute edit of the film, appropriately called ARST ARSW. It opens with all 201 instances of the word ‘a’ and concludes with the single use of the word ‘zone’.
Tom adds the following ‘fun facts’:
The word “lightsaber” only appears once in this film.
There are 43m5s of spoken English, 81m39s of other.
The most common word is “the”, of course, said 368 times.
The word with most screen time is “you”, at 52.56 seconds.
There are 1695 different words, and 11684 total words.
The longest words are “responsibility,” “malfunctioning”, “worshipfulness”, and “identification”, all 14 letters.
Sir, the internet is not worthy.

A very impressive, deftly edited tribute to one of the greatest shows of recent years by Alexandre Gasulla.
Naturally, there are spoilers, but that’s nowhere near as shameful as not having watched the whole thing already.

VFX editor Richard Trammell’s follow up to Fight Club Minus Tyler Durden.
Sez he of this deftly tweaked pivotal scene from The Shining:
I decided to keep Grady’s voice audible on this one, since his existence is a bit murkier than TD’s in Fight Club. That and I really love Philip Stone’s voice and would have hated to lose it. I also avoided cutting to his close-up so as not to have shots of “nothing” interspersed.
VFX editor Richard Trammell tweaks a scene from Fight Club to better reflect the reality of the situation.

Listen To Wikipedia (created by Stephen la Porte and Mahmoud Hashemi) is an interactive webpage that tracks changes to Wikipedia entries in real time, representing each edit with a soothing melodic plunk (or ding) and a circle. To wit:
Bells indicate additions and string plucks indicate subtractions. Pitch changes according to the size of the edit; the larger the edit, the deeper the note. Green circles show edits from unregistered contributors, and purple circles mark edits performed by automated bots. You may see announcements for new users as they join the site, punctuated by a string swell.
