Hey! Sorry it's taken a bit to reply. I've been offline for awhile. Awesome sift btw.

Wow you're killing me here. I don't want to be evil dictator.. hey maybe I'll fire up the "define vintage" thread again. Once I started managing the channel, I've attempted to maintain a certain criterion for the channel. That is the clip must have been made or contains video made more than 20 years ago. I know there are a few exceptions.. I'm just not sure if this is one of them.

And I'm going to pre-emptively explain why http://www.videosift.com/video/Steampunk-laptop-brass-wood-windup-boot-key is in your channel.

While Eric's video is a modern news-piece, ths shorter clip I've sifted up is nothing but the vintage-ness. 19th-century awesomeness. Let me know what you think.

Steampunk is so cool. But I'd rather have a Desktop mod. At least you can keep it updated. There's only so much you can do with a notebook.

Full-vid of the boot sequence here, though.

Amazingly cool. I think "vintage" is appropriate, for anything "Steampunk" like this. What say you, swampgirl?

The erratic sorting might be videos shifting around as they get viewed if you're sorting by votes/views.

I was hoping to find a video of the steampunk treehouse to show what happens when steampunk people are less focused on computers, but no such luck...

Here are the stills, though: http://www.steamtreehouse.com/page28/page28.html

I had submitted this before all the credits ran. After I saw that, I really thought about discarding it immediately.

why? i mean, ok, they are way too long and useless, but the jesus-thing is fun.

upvote because I am a steampunk fan (and my definition included warcraft)

WTF? What on Earth does WoW have *ANYTHING* to do with steampunk?

The Prestige is an Academy Award-nominated 2006 period film directed by Christopher Nolan, adapted from Christopher Priest's award-winning 1995 novel of the same name. This steampunk film depicts the rivalry of Robert Angier and Alfred Borden, two Victorian era stage magicians in late 19th- and early 20th-century London. Angier blames Borden for a tragic accident, and a competitive one-upmanship ensues, in which both magicians, obsessed with creating the best stage illusion, stop at nothing to uncover the secret of each other's acts, with deadly results.

Last Exile is a steampunk anime series produced in 2003 and created by Gonzo Digimation.

The story revolves around Claus Valca and Lavie Head, a young courier pilot and his navigator, and their adventures in the floating world of Prester. In this romantic sky world based on stylized Victorian fashion and society, two countries, Anatole and Dysis (sometimes phonetically rendered as Anatoray and Disith), are engaged in a long and bloody war under the supervision of the mysterious Guild. Claus and Lavie, piloting their vanship (a small wingless airplane-like machine) find themselves involved in a plot surrounding a mysterious little girl named Alvis Hamilton, whom they must deliver as "cargo" to the much-feared neutral battleship Silvana.

The animation features a combination of 2-D and 3-D CGI sequences; several key staff members such as the character designer Range Murata and Gonzo veteran Mahiro Maeda had previously worked on the production of Blue Submarine No. 6 which was done in a similar style. The series is also notable for having much of the text in English but written with Greek letters, with all numbers given in Roman numerals.

For me this is my second love after Trigun. Must be because of the Dunesque influence of Frank Herbert. The song is "Cloud Age Symphony" by Shuntaro Okino.

Trigun is a sci-fi manga series with a steampunk Wild West theme created by Yasuhiro Nightow in 1995, and adapted into a 26 episode anime series in 1998 by Madhouse. It is the story of Vash the Stampede, a.k.a. The Humanoid Typhoon, and the two Bernardelli Insurance Society employees, Meryl Stryfe and Milly Thompson, who were ordered to follow him and minimize the damage that seems to follow Vash everywhere he goes.

Trigun was created by the animation studio Madhouse in 1998 and directed by Satoshi Nishimura. The October 2005 issue of Neo magazine (A UK Anime magazine) includes an interview with Studio Madhouse's founder, Masao Maruyama. In it he says the studio is working on a Trigun Movie that should be released in a "couple of years". The November issue of Anime Insider also confirms this news.

Still one of my favorite anime series.
