Thor Johnson OptiDisc Mashup

Thor Johnson sent this mashup of the OptiDisc GIFs posted earlier. Thanks! It looks like a 3-D image before you put the glasses on. Just saw the DVD prototype of this GIF and am pleased by how it came out--very minimal, clean and dumb. On a 20 inch Sony screen, it's everything I wish TV was. No Bill O'Reilly, no Tim Russert, just a cheap but elegant hypnodisc. It loops 10 6 times, stops for a beat with the black oval hovering at the outer edge of the disc, then 10 6 more repetitions, ad infinitum. The pause is while the loop resets, but the friend who is generously helping me with the video added a frame so the hiccup looks intentional. I think it works--adds rhythmic content I didn't consider.

One of the funniest things I've seen is Dave Chappelle's routine about the bus held hostage by a masturbating homeless man. Chappelle imitates a passenger flinching and shrieking "Biological Attack!" Then he describes the homeless man walking up and down the aisle, stroking himself and saying "OK, who wants some?" while riders sit there helpless with fear. Finally a burly man at the back of the bus says, "Let's rush him! He can't hit all of us!" The attacker is subdued, but not before a man gets a "nut busted" on his balding forehead. "Can't I get AIDS from this?" the man wails. "Of course not," says Chappelle, but then admits to the audience he has no idea and just said it to make the guy feel better.

As long as we're posting animations too large or silly for the blog, here's one called Atom Kitty, or, The Philosopher.
