A British production house called Neurosonics Audiomedical Laboratories created this fantastic video of a scientific experiment in which disembodied heads are used as musical instruments. Incredible compositing work.
The Neurosonics Audiomedical Laboratories website has more info, including some production stills.

The spectacular footage below, which captures a bunch of insane thrill seekers as they zoom around a canyon in webbed flying outfits, is apparently from a 2007 extreme-sports movie called Seven Sunny Days. It won’t be long before a big-budget action movie appropriates this subculture for a chase sequence, just like the Bond franchise did with parkour in Casino Royale. Holy crap, just take a look.
John Francis Daley, who played Sam Weir on the world-historically brilliant NBC show Freaks and Geeks almost a decade ago, has had a relatively quiet career since finishing puberty, watching mostly from the sidelines as various F&G cohorts—James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, and Linda Cardellini, not to mention Judd Apatow and Paul Feig—have reached stardom or near stardom.
Daley has worked occasionally since F&G, including a starring role in the apparently shelved Star Wars-inspired film 5-25-77, which I wrote about in 2005. He’s also done TV work here and there.
It turns out that Daley recently joined the cast of the Fox murder-investigations show Bones. The show seems pretty lame, and it’s not something I’d ever watch. But it’s interesting to see Daley as a young-adult version of the twitchy, sweet, geeky freshman he played on F&G. The first clip below is a short scene from Bones; the second, after the jump, is an interview with Daley on some cheesy entertainment show.
On a day when the book industry appears to be imploding before our eyes, I’m happy to post this fantastic animated film, which was made to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the British HarperCollins imprint 4th Estate. The film was produced by the London-based design studio Apt, which has been doing lots of terrific work recently.
There’s some behind-the-scenes footage here.
