I really like videos like this, how they send memorable messages through such simple ideas. There are no twists, no flowery plot lines to distract the audience from the main idea, and no wasted moments. This is a video that can change your day, and maybe even more.
Well, this year is almost over folks – a year of being Canada’s Cultural Capital. One of the major highlights of this year was the lip dub held downtown last month in order to showcase Calgary’s “culture”. These 3 minutes of film, accompanied by the Stampeders singing and playing “Sweet City Woman”, in reality, took…

2011 brought us Occupy Wall Street, a royal marriage and the death of Osama Bin Laden. However, a less mentioned medium of media has surged and blossomed in the past decade: YouTube. As the population rose and earthquakes struck, YouTube users submitted a plethora of what may be the best videos of the year. A…
Here comes the end of another year, bringing about new beginnings of 2012 – including celebrations (fireworks!), the write-up of New Year’s resolutions, and exciting events to look forward to. Let us commemorate those we lost in 2011 and how far we’ve come as a group:
