11 Months, 3,000 Photographs and a Lot of Coffee: Rebuilding the Engine of a Triumph Spitfire

UK-based YouTube user nothinghereok bought this used engine off Ebay for his Triumph Spitfire after his own engine suffered a catastrophic failure. He then decided to document the process of rebuilding the engine from stripping its thousands of parts, cleaning them up to completely reassembling the entire thing again. Mind-boggling. Also, a great (no so great?) little surprise at the end.

Animation Photography

Three Great Stop Motion Shorts Not to be Missed

No Noodles is a new short stop motion film by Montreal-based animator Tyler Nicolson, music by Chris Adriaanse. I love the shot of the fish diving in water.

Directed by Jerónimo Rocha out of Lisbon, Les Pasayges tells the story of a group of friends who embark on a vacation in a caravan of vintage vehicles. The destination? Rocha’s scenic office. Learn more about how they shot it over on Behance.

Lastly, Elise Fachon, a 2012 graduate of RISD, shot this animated piece titled PIN as a final for her intermediate stop motion film class where she wanted to examine creating characters using the most simple of shapes. I think she accomplished that and more.

Art

Vincent van Gogh’s ‘Starry Night’ Painting Made from 7,067 Falling Dominoes

Industrious domino artist FlippyCat recreated Vincent van Gough’s famous Starry Night painting using 7,067 dominoes stacked vertically and horizontally to create an impressive chain reaction that seems to sprawl in the same direction as the artist’s brushstrokes. The video above contains some pretty heartbreaking outtakes as well. See also his Domona Lisa from 2007. (via neatorama)

A Hilarious/Disturbing Video of People Being Blasted in the Face with Wind

=

Lithuanian photographer Tadao Cern’s hilarious/disturbing photography project Blow Job was one of the most popular posts on Colossal for quite some time. If the photographs of individuals being blasted in the face with high-powered wind wasn’t enough for you, he’s followed up with this companion video which is every bit as awesome as the photos. Filmed by Spotas. (via vimeo)

Flatten: An Experimental Video Exploring the Shape of Flattened Food

I’m loving the concept of this experimental video by Dutch artists Hugo de Kok and Kay van Vree that explores the shapes and forms of popular foods when flattened. (via vimeo)

Music

Diego Stocco: Music from Nature

A new video tonight from musician Diego Stocco (previously) wherein he samples audio from trees played with a bow, bark, coconuts, bees, almonds, orange peels, rice and other natural objects to create one of his signature tracks. This guy can make music from anything! Learn more about his Music from Nature project over on Behance.
