Because it’s Friday: Eye know – A Kaleidoscopic Journey through Tokyo
There are loads of first-person videos showing scenes as people travel through cities at night.
This one goes a bit further turning journeys through the streets of Tokyo into wonderful kaleidoscopic images.
A kaleidoscope was one of my favourite toys as a child, so it’s great to relive that experience in a different form:
Because it’s Friday: Confounding Squirrels
This video made me chuckle this week, it’s of a squirrel trying to climb a greasy pole to get to a bird table.
Watch it with the sound up and enjoy the commentary, there’s something very infectious about other people laughing:
It reminded me of this other video:
Because it's Friday: Morph – Stand Up
The relaunch of Morph continues; this time he tries his hand at Stand Up:
Because it’s Friday: The Circle and the Straight Line
What we perceive isn’t always what we are seeing, as with this circle moving within a circle:
Because it’s Friday: Forest Man
The difference that one person can make over a long period of time is amazing, something which this award winning documentary demonstrates:
Because it’s Friday: Morph is Back
The plasticine crafted childhood favourite that is Morph is back.

Can you do it?
Can you watch all of this video, every second of it?
(I had to try really, really hard)
Because it’s Friday: Giant Popping Bubbles – The Slow Mo Guys
Bubbles are one of those thing that unite children and adults as The Slow Mo Guys show.
These giant bubbles are beautiful in slow motion, it’s definitely one to watch in high definition on the biggest screen you can find:
Because it’s Friday: The ancient hand whistle
This video fits into a long list titled “why didn’t I think of doing that?” It’s had over 260,000 views and shows Hal Walker demonstrating the hand whistle. I’m not sure why he calls it ancient, because surely his hands are the same age as he is?
He says that he makes a living hand whistling, I have no idea how, but it’s quite impressive if he does. I suspect that it’s just part of a huge repertoire of musical instruments that he uses.
I’ve hand whistled since I was a child, but never been dedicated enough to learn a whole tune:
(This video made me giggle, not sure why, please let me know if it had the same effect on you)
Because it's Friday: Q2 Spaces – Interviews with artists in their spaces
I’ve always been fascinated by the different places that people work in even more so since writing the Productive Workplace series.
This week I came across a series of videos that visit artists in their creative spaces.
As I watch them I’m drawn to some spaces, repulsed by others, intrigued by all of them:
Because it’s Friday: More from the Action Movie Kid
The other week I highlighted some of the videos from the Action Movie Kid, since then there have been a number of new videos.
This is a child who’s dad works at Dreamworks and creates special effects for a living.
