2 Years + 288,000 jelly beans = 1 awesome video

Now this is dedication! Instead of doing this video by CGI or taking on a less challenging concept, the artist, Kina Grannis, and director embarked on a 2 year long project to do a stop motion music video for her track "In Your Arms." Using over 288,000 jelly beans, the video shows various scenes of rain and snow, moutains, a journey down a vortex, and more.

It's an adorable song, made all the better by this amazing video! Watch the full video after the break.

Music Wednesday: I Believe in a Thing Called Love Cover by Panic! at the Disco

With all the Halloween excitement, I totally missed Music Monday! To remedy that, here's a sweet cover of The Darkness's "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" performed by Panic! at the Disco. While I haven't been keeping up to date on Panic!, I was a huge fan of theirs back in 2005 (to the point of annoying my roommate with my repeated listenings!) and am glad to see them still working.

Listen to the cover after the break.

Short Film: Trick R' Treat - Making Friends

One of my favorite recent horror flicks is TRICK R TREAT. You should definitely watch it on Netflix Instant tonight if you don't have any plans. Or check out any of the other films I recommended in my Queued Up piece on NapiersNews.com! 

TRICK R TREAT is a great horror anthology tracking a few stories in this one small town on All Hallow's Eve. Check out this great short from the director and then watch it on Instant!

Happy Halloween!

Anyone dressed up at work today? What's the best costume you've seen this year?

Netflix Watch Instant: Halloween 2011 Edition

It's Halloween weekend and it's time to watch some scary movies! I just posted a great round up of films over on NapiersNews.com, so be sure to check them out. I also wanted to point out ONE more thing you should look into streaming:

The Vampire Diaries! 

Yep, my favorite current show is on Netflix Instant, both seasons 1 and 2. If you've got some time to kill - check out this teen supernatural soap. While it started off a bit too melodramatic and teen angst ridden, it has grown to be one of the best vampire entities around. I'd say this is better than True Blood because it doesn't rest on just sex scenes and shock value.

Check it out, you'll like it.

But if you swear it's not your thing, you can see all the other films on Netflix Instant that would make for perfect weekend viewing on NapiersNews.com
