This is a video demonstration of a clever stunt rig used to simulate lower gravity on a person in space. The rig uses a counterweighted rocking arm attached to a stuntperson via a 360-degree rotating belt so they can do flips and all kind of spacey maneuvers. That’s cool. Even

This is a video highlighting the work of foley artists and the incredible difficulty in making just the right footstep sound effects (considered one of the hardest to duplicate) for television and movies.

This is a short video of a river of watermelons being floated from where they were grown to where they’re being transported. Apparently it’s important to keep watermelons cool after harvest for maximum deliciousness, so this clever farmer is killing two birds with one stone. At least until I found
