word. daily. (video edition)

Short Film Shot by Scanner: The minute-long film Memoirs of a Scanner is composed entirely of still shots from a copier and, despite the length, you feel satisfied when it’s over (#twss). We think that this could have been the kick-off to an amazing consumer contest from Richoh or Xerox.

That Picture is Amazing: Check out this engaging video from Samsung.  The brand does an amazing job of creating a short that heavily incorporates their product AND has a shot of actually going viral. How’d they do it? By relying on two hooks: social networking pictures and Weekly World News cover model, Bat Boy.

Oscar Winners Hate Each Other!: Remember the gentleman who accepted the award best documentary short that got Kanye’d (amazing verb) by the lady in the tres-dramatique formal satin jacket? Turns out, they hate each other! They’re suing each other! His 87-year-old mom used her cane to block that lady from getting to the stage first! Read about all the amazing drama over at Salon.

Bonus: We don’t have much to say about Tokyo/Glow except that it is elegant and beautiful; you should check it out.
