Anyone who has had the distinct privilege of working for a large, soulless, multinational chain is familiar with the hideous crap that is the corporate training video. They can be hours and hours long with such riveting topics like “how to fold jeans the right way” or “how to stock shelves” – it doesn’t make for a pleasant viewing experience. Step in Wendy’s. Well, Wendy’s in what my guess would be the Bell-Biv-DeVoe/Debbie Gibson era early 90s, and these two absolutely brilliant and hilarious training music videos: “Hot Drinks” and “Cold Drinks.” Instructive and danceable! Makes me want to grab a Frosty™ and get down.

It contains about three and a half minutes of animations in which this plugin was used to create the polygon meshes based on ICE point clouds, nulls, Lagoa Topology Data, curves and input polygon meshes.

Last week my friend Alex (aka Yellow Ostrich) wrote, recorded, and released an EP based entirely on Morgan Freeman's Wikipedia page. Yesterday some random person created a video for the track "Morgan Freeman's Early Life."  The result is … just special. Call it post-modern or whatever you want, but the continual building upon the work of others – over and over – is what makes the internet so amazing. 

This guy is far more articulate about it than I am.
