Scout Holiday posted this video made by Nordin for Whyred, and I loved it.  The rest of her work is equally as impressive.   I find it incredibly beautiful and simple.

Square America just uploaded this great little silent home video from someone’s Halloween dinner party in 1939. It’s very cute- the final shot is the best! Hope you all have a fun and safe Halloween weekend. I’m going here to see Bonnie Prince Billy (Will Oldham) perform, and I’m looking forward to it.

Here’s a great video presented by Hallmark about Hermann Zapf’s work and the importance of letter form and the “purpose and techniques of calligraphy”. He is enchanting, let alone his incredible talent. The film is perhaps a little slow for a modern audience, but it’s lovely… watch it.

This video is absolutely mesmerizing. I very rarely post videos, and this is the second this week (!) but it seemed like a shame not to pass this on.

“Certain liquids obey the laws of crystallization. Under a polarizing microscope, we observe transformations in structure, form and color with certain changes in temperature and pressure. 1. Smectic to cholesteric transition, isotropic liquid 2. Smectic rods 3. Supercooling of a cholesteric form.”

This is so cool. I would love to see this happen again.

You may remember that I have a girl crush on Miranda July (also Amy Sedaris, and a few others).  Anyway, Kate posted a piece about this photo series that July made for Vice where she poses as extras from various movies.  Not like bit characters, but straight-up extras.  Love these.
