This video is the latest wall-painted animation by artist BLU, and it’s amazing.

If you don’t know his work by now, he and his team painstakingly paint frames of animation on walls, with great results and truly inspirational stuff.

His videos always have many views, this one going on 137.000 on Vimeo in two days alone.

Check it out, well worth your next 10 minutes:

BIG BAG BIG BOOM – the new wall-painted animation by BLU from blu on Vimeo.

This video has been one of the most share on Twitter over the past days, and with more than 400.000 views on Vimeo in one month (which is a big feat there).

It’s a final thesis project from a japanese graphic designer student, and in his own words the goal was to “make Japanese people to think about that everything happening here in Japan, isn’t that normal. So I created this video from foreigner’s point of view, rather than Japanese people’s point of view.”

It’s a beautiful piece of motion design, and in japanese language but fairly understandable.

Take a look:

A short by Cristóbal Vila, this video has been going viral steadily for some weeks now, reaching it’s highest point yet today at the 9th place of the most shared videos in the past 24 hours.

It’s a really fascinating look at math at work in nature and beautifully done.

It has an universal, cross-cultural appeal, and the languages in which it is being shared shows it:

- 41% in english
- 39% in spanish
- 11% in portuguese
- 9% in german

Got 466.000 views in about 3 weeks so far. Check it out after the break:

This video has been going viral in the past days, and already got 425.000 views in one week.

It’s a really beautiful time-lapse short, featuring the city of Vancouver, and one of those videos that makes want to go shoot time-lapse videos!

It was an artistic collaboration between Innerlife Project and TimeLapseHD and all shot with one 12 Mega-pixel digital camera.

Take a look:

Just one thing: the music doesn’t seem to me to fit in this video, maybe a different one would work better, but either way, the video is doing well in views so maybe it’s not that big of a deal.

The imaginery though, no one can contest: it is really great and inspirational.

From french artist Céleste Boursier-Mougenot comes this piece of conceptual art, now captured on video, and now gone viral.

Commissioned for “The Curve” (not us!), here’s the description of the piece:

For his installation in The Curve, Boursier-Mougenot creates a walk-though aviary for a flock of zebra finches, furnished with electric guitars and other musical instruments. As the birds go about their routine activities, perching on or feeding from the various pieces of equipment, they create a captivating, live soundscape.

On Youtube since the 8th of January, and with 84.000 views ever since.

From Norway comes this latest video going viral yesterday.

It’s from one Erik Solheim, a project manager in the development department of the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation, and he likes to experiment with media.

So last year he made a time lapse video (more on that later) that was a big hit both on Youtube and Vimeo. And this year he tried something different, this time with snipets of HD video but shooting the exact same place. The result is a beautiful, peaceful video.

It got 10.000 views on Vimeo in the last 3 days and it’s 90 second version got 200.000 on Youtube already on the same 3 days.

Personally, I like the first video better, the video doesn’t mix so well as the different photos in time lapse. But good video nonetheless.

The other video I was referring to above, called One Year in 40 Seconds (which got 932.000 views on Vimeo in a year, and 2 million on Youtube), follows, take a look:

One year in 40 seconds from Eirik Solheim on Vimeo.

Mind blowing beautiful video, all CGI (well most of it) made by one guy only, Alex Roman aka spanish CG expert Jorge Seva, and going viral in the past few days.

It has got 132.000 views on Vimeo, wich is no small feat there.

This video also breaks the rule of a viral video short since it’s 12 minutes long, but most of these long virals were never intended to go viral anyway.

Also breathtaking is some making of compositing shots that the creator posted, and with 20.000 views also:

This video has been going viral in the last few weeks, approaching the 2 million views now since the 15th of December.

It was made for the American Museum of Natural History, and it shows (quite beautifully) how small we are! It’s nice to see this kind of scientific-like content going viral.

What’s the result of having photo-realistic cardiograms perfectly synched with a beautiful track of music? A great inspirational video, with 106.000 views on Vimeo in 13 days, which is really something.

Great CGI, great renderering, great camera work, great music. And yet very, very simple concept and original.

Check out this truly inspirational video made by lithuanian Rimantas Lukavicius aka Studio Korb:

From November 22, 2009 to April 26, 2010 the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York is having an awesome exibit all about Tim Burton’s stuff: his drawings, illustrations, pictures, etc.

And to promote it, they had a spot made that embraces his spirit in character design and style of animation he loves, and has gathered 93.000 in the two weeks that’s been out.

Now, they also made a video with an interview and behind the scenes look at the exibit that is great, and shows a bit of his way of thinking. And this is the inspirational part: watching his old drawings but already with his peculiar visual style, and his enthusiasm talking about all this. Just great.

Not a full fledged viral, but got 31.000 views, so not bad at all.
