Maybe that's true, here i'll test myself. I counted 34 different slo mo things in this video (+/- 1-2 b/c im not watching that crap again), you'll have to trust me to be honest but let's see how long it takes me to come up with 35!!! different ideas, clock starting now!
1 pheobe cates getting out of a pool o shit that's already been done (clock still running)
1 throwing a card into a watermelon
2 breaking bottle with a rock
3 dropping a penny on a table and watching it bouce
4 shooting a grape with a shotgun @ close range
5 breaking a lightbulb by having a stampede of wild stallions run it over
6 unplugging a thumb drive
7 taking a bite of a sandwich with too much peanut butter on it
8 jumping...you know, up and down but then like I'd slow it down just before your feet left the ground then speed it up b/c im cool
9 taking a radiator out of a car
10 riping a leaf in half
11 guy getting frustrated trying to open a letter without a letter opener then finally he rips it open
12 making a mojito then me drinking it
13 man struggling not to look at a womans breasts as she bends over then he gets slapped in the face with a baloon filled with paint
14 woman farting in a bathtub
15 flipping a pancake
16 tuberculosis infecting the cells of a young person in a third world country
17 squeezing a lemon into a can of yellow paint
18 hitting a printer with a mallet b/c it doesnt work
19 washing a car in the automatic washer
20 frying bacon
21 changing faces on a mr potato head
22 dropping a rotten tomato a short distance and it doesnt splat
23 droping the same rotten tomato from a third story building
24 baseball bat hitting ball made of concrete
25 alligator snatching up it's baby giraffe dinner
26 tieing shoes
27 hitting a marshmellow with a stun gun and setting it on fire with electricity
28 throwing a knife
29 wiping my ass
30 tree parts going into a wood chipper
31 opening a fortune cookie
32 sneezing
33 getting punched by the dude you sneezed on
34 punching the guy back with the stink palm hand leftover from the ass wipe
35 flashback to the moment in the bathroom when i decided not to wash my hands
wow that was a bit longer than i thought it was going to be i'll have to admit
it ended up being 14:17 although most of that was probably due to typing time.
No worries, acc to you i just made some art.

No but I believe the set up and the ideas in some of these clips show a degree of creativity that could be considered "Art".


No, you have listed a bunch of neat stuff that could look cool in slow-motion. The point Yogi was trying to make is that the "art" portion of this video comes from unique camera angles, setup, different colors used (Primary), engaging background music, the switching of time-shifting, ect... were all carefully constructed to make this video intriguing. And that, my friend, is art.

just sayin

^ Let's apply your logic to another situation.

A guy runs a red light. A cop sees this, and chases after him, and pulls him over. The guy who runs the light knocks the cop over his head, takes him into the woods, hangs him, writes "PIG" on his chest, and tapes his badge to his neck.

blankfist says of the incident "There's no excuse to kill anyone, but it would've been avoided if there wasn't a law requiring people to obey traffic signals, just sayin."

I was just at a festival where I had to guide my gf deep into the woods so she could pee. Consequently I missed the flaming lips. I like this invention!!!!!

hm, i was pondering posting some into the woods thank you.

*promote

it was either that one or your chorus line video. i really like a chorus line, and the guy who was originally the "i can do that", he had the choreography on a performance of "into the woods" that i was a assistant-director on when i was a student in the usa but... too much hamlisch... theres just something about him that made me promote sondheim instead, hehe

I was in Sweden a few years back visiting family and at one of the meals they brought this stuff out. They took the can into the woods behind their home, put the can inside a large plastic bag and opened it very slowly. The smell drifted back towards the house which was some 40 yards away and was so strong it made me gag. I couldn't get it past my nose to try it.

A man and a 5 year old are driving out into the woods. The kid says, "It's so dark and scary out here". The man replies, "Don't say that! I'm driving back on my own!"

I once told a relative of mine who hunts about this video, and how hilarious it was. I'm unsure if it is true, and I realise I am connected to the tubes and could find out for myself, alas, I really don't care that much, but he told me that a deer's hearing range doesn't always register a rifle shot. So it is entirely possible that this particular deer never heard the hunter shooting at it before it decided to run back into the woods.

If anyone knows otherwise, enlighten meh!

The music is "You Are Not Alone" from 'Into the Woods" by Sondheim.

The music is 'No one is Alone' from 'Into the Woods' by Steven Sondheim.

These concepts used to really trouble me as a kid. The idea that you are not allowed to just go into the woods and live off the land. No matter where you go, someone thinks they own it and will eventually use violence to remove you or exact money for use of the land. So we're born slaves in a sense, and the only real way for a normal person to escape the slavery is to exploit the system. Meaning there is no going around the system. You can go through it in a sense, but in any case, you are in the system.

Open a window and play it loud enough to hear it quite well as you walk a hundred yards or more into the woods. I guarantee you that every creature will stop to listen to Iris sing.

See now, it makes you wonder... did she actually hit the ball? Of course, those old ladies are too sweet to lie, but how do they know that somebody else didn't just hit the ball in, and hers went into the woods?

Maybe I'm too skeptical, but I still hope above everything that she did make that shot.
