  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?

Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

We surprised random people by turning back the clock 150 years at a local bar, completely transforming it into 1860s New York. Full story: http://improveverywhere.com/
This project was a collaboration with the BBC America series Copper. New season premiere Sunday, June 23rd at 10/9c on BBC America.

Great idea...not much of a payoff though

A 19th century themed bar in Brooklyn? SHOCKING!!!

Reminds me of Knott's Berry Farm when it was just a wee amusement park of non-rollercoasters. Anyone remember visiting the dude in the jail house? You could feed the actors information about your unassuming friends and then he would freak them out.

Ah, those were the days.

Hipster heaven.
