    Hello, Mr Anderson…

  • March 17, 07:59 AM

    Working with full HD material is slooooow. But I’m determined not to compromise the quality in the slightest, since it’s only a 40 second project.

    I rendered the 101GB uncompressed clip to avoid dealing with the annoying HDV format. Hopefully my computer doesn’t die editing it.

    • Ben: Did you watch that video I sent you?
    • Renae: Yeah, I watched four quarters of it.
  • March 01, 03:12 AM

    • Renae: I found crumbs in my bra the other day.
    • Ben: ...
    • Renae: I think I sneezed Wheat-bix into it.

    This is amazing. This Australian guy has been locked in a hospital room for like 2 months straight because he is under quarantine for TB. So he makes funny raps and videos. AMAZING!

    • Ben: Well I may as well delete friends like 'Captain Planet" and "Chocolate Milk" while I've got the page up.
    • Renae: No don't! It adds to your facebook-onality!

    This has got to be one of the most awesome (and clever) animations I’ve ever seen.

    Seriously, just watch it!

    Wow, this store will even employ Malaysian people!

    It’s so good to see that shop owners in Singapore aren’t racist.

    Wait…

    Today at work, a little girl said that I had nice hair.

    She then told her mother that one day she was going to fall in love with me and get married.

    This is so cute. How old was she?

    Umm, I guess she was about 4-6?
    It was kinda hard to tell because she was hiding behind the counter with only her hands and eyes peeping over.

    It was an extremely quiet/boring day at work.

    • Luke: ...
    • Ben: ...
    • Luke: Have I gone to the toilet today or not?
    • Ben: ...
    • Luke: Crap, I didn't mean to say that. Just thinking out loud.
    • Ben: ...
    • Luke: ...
    • Ben: ...
    • Luke: How embarrassing...

    Diptote

    • Ben: If you swallowed a USB drive worth 400 bucks and pooped it out, would you reach into the toilet and grab it?
    • Renae: Ummm, if I was wearing rubber gloves.
    • Ben: Ok, what about if I pooped it out?
    • Renae: What!? No, I'd get you to get it!
    • Ben: But what if I was disabled? And couldn't move my arms?
    • Renae: Well, I guess I would if I had gloves. And a mask. And goggles. And a whole suit.
    • Ben: What? Why would you need goggles? What's going to fly into your eye from the toilet?
    • Renae: Well if you're swallowing USBs and disabled, anything could happen!

    There’s something about girls who wear Star Wars tops I find attractive…

    Sometimes I wish I was born in the future.

    But then I remember how chilled Earth is without the Borg screwing with us.

    Large Hadron Colider trying to destroy itself from the future?

    “A pair of otherwise distinguished physicists have suggested that the hypothesized Higgs boson, which physicists hope to produce with the collider, might be so abhorrent to nature that its creation would ripple backward through time and stop the collider before it could make one, like a time traveler who goes back in time to kill his grandfather.”

    Now that is a freaking cool theory!

    Google Street View Guys
    A new College Humor cartoon! Ever wonder what it’s like for the dudes who have to drive those Google camera cars around? I think it’s a little something like this…

    • Nick: The story's going to be about a guy waiting to catch a bus when he desperately needs to take a poo.
    • Ben: It'll probably have a whole 'Frank Spencer' feel to it; one problem leading to another with the toilet being blocked and everything.
    • Ian: Well I guess this is the one time I can get away with saying it's a 'crap' story...

  • @ Ash looking for relaxing music. There’s so many soundtracks I’d recommend which classify as relaxing. Things like music from The Truman Show or Danny Elfman’s score to Edward Scissorhands. The track I uploaded is from John Williams’ score for Schindler’s List. The whole soundtrack is just amazing. Hope your speakers do it justice. :) P.S. Lucky there’s a ‘one song per day’ policy, or Tumblr would have suddenly been inundated by a collection of ‘Ben Crossley’s favourite film scores’. ;)
