It's really amazing what people can shoot nowadays. Hell, most of us have cellphones that'll shoot 1080p in decent quality.
This one is outstanding. I could never figure out why the hell anybody would choose to live in the Dakotas, until now. This was just some guy in his backyard using a prosumer grade camera and a nice quality dolly. Be sure to watch the HD version:
https://news.yahoo.com/blogs/technology-blog/jaw-droppingly-gorgeous-video-captures-milky-way-earth-234619211.html
This one's a nice quality time lapse. It was shot by one of the Discovery astronauts over the six weeks prior to his launch.

Lets see some more examples of 21st century videography.

That Milky Way video is absolutely breathtaking. :omg:
-
That deer at 1:58 in the first video is so scary.
Also, I wouldn't call a Canon 5D Mark II "prosumer grade". :lol

Be sure to watch the 1080 version.

Holy shit.

Correct. That was amazing.

Wow. Thank you, that was indeed very awesome. Looking down on the Earth from up there really has to be the most amazing feeling.

Yeah, especially seeing those polar lights up in the sky... So mindblowing.

I just want to point out that I slept under the starry night exactly at the spot at 1:05 :D

This may be a dumb question, but when you're out there away from city lights, does the sky actually look that spectacular, or are the cameras here significantly enhancing it?
-
It does indeed look that way. Every time I am out there in nature and see it I understand why the ancient people spent so much time pondering what it is.
And dude, you really need to get out of your city or wherever you are :lol
rumborak
-
Seriously? I've never seen a sky like that. The remotest place I've been though is Andalucia, but still....
-
Yeah, I've seen skies like that in Alaska, where there's really nothing for miles around you.

Everybody should find a way to get out and see the Milky Way. From your neck of the woods it'd be tough, but it's certainly worth doing. From my locale, Colorado is the best I get to manage. You can camp 10k' up and far away from Denver and see a helluva show.

Yeah from here I have to travel pretty far to get out of that blue area, pretty much the entire east cost sucks. I'm definitely going somewhere to get a good look one day though.

Wow. You're not kidding.

Still, there are still some pretty dark places over there, and given that nice rail system y'all have, not too terribly hard to get to.
-
I noticed you guys debating over that in the P&R section. Problem is if you want HSR to get anywhere you have to book like months in advance because they're always sold out (at least to popular places). And it's pretty expensive. I took the Thalys from Brussels to Avignon (a little north of Marseille) this summer and it was more expensive than flying to Rome last year. It was much more comfortable though, true. But still.

I'm sure it's nothing grandiose, but I'd like to see a translation of that message.

I think it's a slap in the face that that person played so well and the game teased them by not even using real letters to make the message.

It really saddens me that I'll never be able to do this. Even if it hadn't been closed off a few years back, there's a skill set required to get there that I lack.
This is the second power plant built at Niagara; mothballed back in 70's. It's about half a click upstream of the Horseshoe Falls. Water enters through a large tunnel, drops 10 stories nearly vertical down penstock tunnels into the generator room, and then heads out through the tailrace back to the river. In this case, the tailrace ejects behind the curtain of the Horsehoe Falls. Getting to these tunnels is the Holy Grail of urban exploration. Aside from it's awesomeness, it was incredibly challenging to get down to it, and very few people managed it. Here's video of a vantage point of Niagara Falls that only a handful of people have ever seen.

Thx for the post! I love watching Urban exploration videos so i will be watch this as soon as i'm free. :tup

I don't know, I mean, it's not that he would have lost his finger if "sawstop" didn't work. He's moving toward it so carefully that he would notice it if it wouldn't have worked, because moving as slowly towards the blade as he does he wouldn't have lost a finger anyway.
-
Yea but that is for real and no sane person would ramm their finger into a running saw blade to test a safety function even if they trust it 100%. I would much rather have a severe scar than to lose a finger.
-

How 'bout that, Mister doubting Mustafa? Sure it got nicked a bit, but the whole thing wasn't severed.
-
Well, the speed towards the saw is much higher... In the first video if he even felt the slightest touch of the blade and it didn't go down he would never go further.
I'm not doubting Sawstop, it seems like a great system but I'm just saying that I wasn't all that impressed by him showing it off with his finger the way he did. If he went towards it with considerable momentum like the sausage in the second video then I might be impressed, because if Sawstop didn't work in that case he would lose his finger.

According to the sausage video, he would still get cut, though he just wouldn't lose a finger. Why willingly cut himself?
-
I know, I know... :D All I'm trying to say is that I wasn't impressed... Let's just leave it at that :)
-
I don't get what's not to be impressed about? It's the invention that's impress me, the point that he's not forcing his finger into a sawblade dosen't matter because again no sane person would ramm their finger into a running saw blade even if it's 100% safe. The invention is there to lower the risk for cutting of your fingers but that dosen't mean you should stop treat it like a dangerous tool.

Wow. Kinda made my eyes well up a little bit. Partly from the sadness of it all, partly from my immense respect for the surviving loved ones' ability to even look at anything remotely airplane-shaped (let alone building something of that scale) despite having such obviously tragic mental associations with it, and partly from how admirable it is for them to orchestrate something of that magnitude nearly 20 years after it occurred.

If you haven't already, find a torrent for the high quality version of that. Full screen makes all the difference. And yeah, he was a film director and that was just his idea of art. Legend has it that the Paris Police arrested him after the film was shown, for obvious reasons.

Man I remember as kid watching Top Gun and dreaming of becoming a fighter pilot. If I were to rank the most mind blowing profession you could have, fighter pilot is up there because the journey to actually become a real fighter pilot is such an abstract thing to comprehend. I guess in a way i'm more fascinated by the person flying and what it takes to actually succeed with a profession like that.

Sub-seven minute lap at Nurburgring. Be sure and check the 1080 version at full screen.
Seven minutes has been the benchmark for a while, and now hybrids are starting to blow past that. This is Porsche's 918 hybrid. Some interesting things to note. You can see the speedo when he straightens out the wheel. The car seems to top out at a measly 170 M/h (280 K/h), so I'm guessing that the biggest difference maker is the 2.8 second 0-60; a benefit of torque on demand. Also, there are some great things to listen to (other than the engine noise). You can hear him bottom out on some of the grade changes. You can also hear him run over some rumble strips. Also, on the back straightaway, he uses the red knob to adjust the power profile of the car to eek out maximum speed over acceleration (which doesn't seem to make more than a couple of kph difference).
-
FYI, that would be 7 *minutes* per lap, not 7 seconds :lol

As always spend the bandwidth on the 1080 version.
Also, I perused through the first 3 pages and a lot of the videos are of course dead links now. Everybody should include a video title when they post something, as a few of them sounded like they'd have been worth hunting down for newcomers or rewatches.

Saw that on reddit a few days ago. Too bad the music is so tacky!

Fucking Catalina Wine Mixer...
Yeah the music was pretty stupid. Especially the cunts whining about safety. IT'S ALL DANGEROUS, YOU'RE BLOWING SHIT UP IN THE SKY YOU FUCKING TWATS. Then again I hate fireworks. I really don't understand the massive amounts of love the US gives them. The first few times I saw 'em, sure, awesomely awesome. After that they're just loud and annoying to me. If I wanna see big explosions and tons of colors I'll take some E and go to a Michael Bay movie and not get bitten by thousands of mosquitos and have to deal with drunken cumquats and scared children and whiny dogs and *sounds of gunfire and screaming people*

Yea the F-22 Raptor is a beast. The channel that I linked before has some great F-22 videos if you wanna check out.
My favourite is probably the F-35B, everything about it seems so high-end and it also have STOVL and VTOL capabilities like the Harrier which makes it very versatile.
Some cool videos showing STOVL:
F-35B Lightning II (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJIa2d47jG0)
AV8B Harrier II (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jv61ebDacH8)
Interesting fact, apparently the Harrier is a bitch to fly especially when doing vertical landings because you manually have to control the vertical thrusters (so big props to the pilots) whereas the F-35B from what I understand has a buildt in system of some sort that helps it stabilize in vertical mode, i'm not really sure how it works but in short it's much easier for the pilot to control basically.

That's pretty incredible footage.

This is a wonderful idea. It's surprisingly humanizing. From Wired:
Venture into space and you may experience a phenomenon called the overview effect. It comes with seeing Earth, a small, blue marble, against the vastness of space. Everything suddenly seems small, yet marvelous. Astronauts who’ve felt it have described an intense feeling of connectedness with humanity, and a profound euphoria similar to what you might experience in deep meditation.
Two creative technologists have created an oddly mesmerizing website that provides something approximating the overview effect, by drawing on the most mundane thing you might imagine: YouTube videos.
Astronaut.io shows an endless stream of random videos against a view of the planet from low Earth orbit. Scenes from a high school weight lifting competition might follow a birthday party in Texas that follows a man in Russia repairing his motorbike. You never know what to expect, yet the videos share something in common.
Andrew Wong and James Thompson created an algorithm that seeks videos fitting specific criteria: uploaded within the past week, with generic file names (IMG, MOV WMV) as titles, and zero views. The result is a fascinating glimpse at the mundane, perplexing, and oftentimes sweet events of everyday life.
While I don't care much for the background imagery, they do a very good job of portraying the vastness of Earthborn reality. At any given moment, millions of people are fucking like banshees. People are holding the hands of loved ones as they die. People are giving birth. People are fighting, praying, marrying and begging for scraps. This tries to show you random slices of that reality.

Cool concept, kind of boring video if you ask me. But I do like the idea. What I immediately noticed in not just your response, but the videos too, is that it's missing two things that we spent most of our earthly time doing. Sleeping and working. Some of the videos may be able to say they are of "working" but I feel like someone sleeping needs to be in that video at some point (and maybe I missed it).
-
Both valid opinions. At the same time the boringness is actually important. The mundanity of it all is key, as pointless, fruitless tasks are something inherent to us all. Moreover, if you were to include specific things then the whole point would be lost. The randomness is what makes it cohesive as an overview, and some guy washing his POS Yugo is common to us all while being completely different to our own reality.

Totally. It's just not fun to watch imo, but it makes sense and I do like the concept of it. I really like how they grabbed the videos on youtube with no views, because then you know it's the shit that is really so mundane and yet so ordinary to humanity.
-
I wonder if it updates the count, so the guy who posted a private video of his daughter to send to gramps and nanna suddenly sees 2.4 million views. In any case, I agree that it's not fun. I just accept that being fun would defeat the purpose.
-
Yea that's right, it's not about being entertained but putting things into perspective I guess, which it does.

I work at a Fairmont property. Our pastry chef needs to pick up her game big time. Very impressive work.

It didn't occur to me that the motive in the candy would stay the same when you roll it out, I thought that was really clever even though it makes alot of sense when you think about it.

Didn't know where to put this and I didn't wanna create a new thread. It's not really awesome per se more stuff from nightmares atleast if your in the centrum but i'm still kind of fascinated by it and that stuff like this exist that we can defend ourself from incoming missiles. I'm guessing it's pretty much hell on earth when those things activate, the sound must be immense. :omg:

I've always wondered why there's no civilian variant of that to be put on freighters. Piracy would end. The distinctive shape would become such a deterrent that phony ones would be just about as effective once the first few boats got turned into confetti.

I usually catch this guy's videos, but not sure how I missed this one.

Flight over the Bahamas on a Paramotor.

That is really cool. When I read paramotor I was thinking of an ultralight aircraft, I used to see those in Florida all the time. I don't think I've ever seen this.

I found this channel where these dudes climb extraordinary high places/buildings and shoot videos. Insane.

People are using machine learning to remaster, colorize, and stabilize very old movies. This is probably as close as we can get to seeing what life was like 130 years ago. Interestingly, much of it looks the same, and yet there are things that jump out at you as starkly different. One thing you immediately notice is that people were actually more into photobombing then than they are now. And damn, talk about beards!
[60 fps] A Trip Through Paris, France in late 1890s (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fo_eZuOTBNc)
His YT channel has 8 or so other videos from different cities. NYC is also interesting, but I actually recognized more of Paris than NY.
-
I saw the NYC video a little while back but didn't realize there were more. Those videos are mesmerizing.

This is so amazing, what a diffrent time in so many ways. To think that everyone of those people had a lifestory to tell and not a single one is alive today. It's a bit to abstract to fully comprehend I think.

With Cyberpunk 2077 in the news, I thought it would be a good time to post these here! :tup

Here is a part 1 and 2 of an awesome documentary series, discussing the Cyberpunk genre. Made by a channel called Indigo Gaming, these are really in depth examinations of the genre. Everything from the most well known Cyberpunk movies like Blade Runner, to Japanese anime like Akira or Ghost in the Shell. From some well known novels like Neuromancer, to less well known tabletop role playing games. Even some really obscure B-Movies. :lol
These are long, but I highly recommend these if you have time spare. With gyms closed down in my area due to Covid, I know that I have a lot of time to waste. :lol

After that morbidly depressing fellow, howabout a snowball fight from the 1800s. I love how they all stopped fighting each other and turned on the guy on the bike when he showed up. And nary a kid in the lot of them is what really makes it special. This made my day.

How can you call that depressing when it's literally about a man fighting for his chance to live a life. He lost everything as a kid but still manages to find a way to enjoy his life while living in a freakin pressure tank for the rest of his life...

Here's a fun project to follow. Colin Furze is a builder/inventor and his latest project is building a tunnel between his garage, house and bunker.

I've always sort of dreamed of a secret room in my back yard. Not a cold sterile bunker, but like the coolest man-cave ever, but underground. Don't know why it appeals so much...

Natural habitat for lawyers, I'm guessing.

Haha, but who can I screw over if I'm buried in my back yard??!?!? :) :) :)

In a similar vein, I can recommend this guy's channel:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxByVUuLdxxiqQVmbOnDEzw
He's building a log cabin from scratch, by hand, in Sweden. The videos are quite therapeutic.

Cool, so many creative people on YT, I love it. I wish I was as handy as my father was, he loved building projects and stuff like that. I get a headache from Ikea furnitures. :laugh:
I guess whenever I get my own house that's when that gene comes alive or atleast I imagine it will.

DIGGING A SECRET TUNNEL part 4 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFLqlHFoI3M&ab_channel=colinfurze)
It seems very well planned.
-
Kind of seems like the most fundamental part of building a secret tunnel would be to not post youtube videos about it, but what do I know.
I saw a video about 5150 (the studio) the other day, and Ed had to be kind of clandestine about the whole thing to get around permits and codes and whatnot. Officially, the last seven VH albums were recorded in Ed's Racquetball court. I suspect this guy means hidden, rather than secret. Otherwise, he might be in for some unexpected trouble.

Hole In Earth Leads To Massive 220 Foot Drop (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiYAWVMJsUw&ab_channel=ActionAdventureTwins)
Sounds kinda like a clickbait title but this ones legit. That's pretty scary finding a hole like that in a forest. Very cool though and if I wouldn't be so freaky about heights that would be a cool thing to find and explore.

Really cool and scary (specially after the 7 minute mark).
