The Last Thing You'll See - A Final Shot Montage
Inspired by a blog dedicated to capturing final image stills in films, The Last Thing You'll See is a touching tribute to that final, transcendent moment in well, good films. Moments that mark the end of a memorable journey, the conclusion, or final catharsis. Broken up into 8 separate chapters, this is one of the best put together cinematic compilations I've seen in a while. I'd recommend pre-screening the full list of movies after the break to avoid any spoilers. Enjoy.

Gravity - A Cinematic Falling Montage
Created by Plot Point Productions, Gravity is yet another one of those awesome little cinematic montages, except this one focuses on that age old concept of falling. In movies it typically falls into two categories - A moment of liberation, duress or that sweet moment when the antagonist finally meets his untimely end (Just watched Die Hard recently). Enjoy 3 minutes of falling with a total of over 50 movies featured, and realize just how prevalent this moment is in films.

Game Over Man - Videogames In Movies
Created by the folks over at Slacktory, Game Over Man is an enlightening 20 minute look into the collision of two pop culture mediums: Videogames and movies. Despite being handled in a rather half assed manner in most movies, it's an interesting look at to how engrained videogame culture has become in our society. Check out the entire list of source movies (In order), after the break!

Things You'd Better Not Mess Up
In a silly, light-hearted montage of events, Dutch animator Joost Lieuwma creates a piece showcasing how it's probably a good idea to pay attention to what you're doing. It's completely understandable to confuse a violin bow with a saw (ahem...), but the results could prove to be disastrous. I loved the bright colors, and the simple, doodle-like animation, which brought a real simplicity to the short. For a I'm-burnt-out Thursday animated short, we couldn't have done much better.

Eclectic Method - Input Output
Eclectic Method's Input Output is a ridiculously awesome 17 minute mashup of movies, music and more spanning a few decades. It's an amazing piece reminiscent of what Smash TV did a few months ago with Skinemax (Which spanned a full hour), although that compilation had more emphasis on cinematic pop culture.
Nonetheless, you have to appreciate the insane amount of work that went into creating these mega mashups, although at this point it's probably second nature to the folks at EM, who have been at it with their audio/visual remixing since 2001.

The Temper Tantrum Supercut
This supercut was edited together by Zach Prewitt, showcasing some of the most famous movie outburst performances captured on film. People reaching the end of their rope, losing it, snapping and taking it out on inanimate objects. There's a certain stress release you get from simply watching others explode, so here's to hoping that some of you guys find this cathartic.

The 8-Bit Olmypic Games
This fine pixelated ode to the Olympics by Flikli covers over 35 different disciplines, ranging from archery to water polo, complete with a fitting Commodore 64 era soundtrack. There's nothing like an 8-bit sports montage to get you out of the house on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

The Instruments Of Robot Repair
This awesome video showcases just how many instruments Robot Repair, a studio/music house dedicated to creating music for commercials, TV, film and more have in their repertoire. It's a pretty awesome ad showcasing just how versatile these guys are, with these guys possessing just about every musical output device under the book in a digital and analog sense. I especially loved the circuit bent and hacked together equipment. If there's a sound you're looking for, you'll probably find it with these guys.

Ken Block's GymKhana Five - Ultimate Urban Playground
Now this might not seem overly crazy to some, but as someone who lived in San Francisco this is pretty damn surreal, especially considering the typical traffic situation in the city. Featuring Ken Block, cofounder of DC Shoes and a professional rally driver with the Monster Rally Team to boot, this film was created over the course of four days under the direction of Ben Conrad. Travis Pastrana also makes a cameo on his dirtbike! Pretty damn incredible, and it kind of leaves you wondering: How the hell did these guys lock down key areas of San Francisco and deal with some probably very annoyed neighbors? Pretty insane.
