Video of the Day – Man swarmed by monkeys

by Mike Barish on

I wish I could share more information about this video. The description on YouTube is in Portuguese but loosely translates to “Subject feeds monkeys that advance and take all the food by jumping on top of each other.” While not terribly informative, it is inarguably very accurate. The man – er, subject – appears to get a container of food with the purpose of luring over some monkeys, only to be overcome by a barrage of the hungry animals.

I like monkeys. Heck, I once wanted a pet monkey. However, I have no desire to be at the bottom of a monkey pile-on. Do you have any idea where this monkey mash took place? Please let us know.

And if you have a great travel video that you think we mighr enjoy, share the link in a comment below. We could feature it as our next Video of the Day!

Video of the Day – In the Air

by Stephen Greenwood on

The more I fly, the more I take it for granted. When flight starts to become a routine mode of transportation, it’s easy to lose the sense of wonder and amazement that we all had on our first airplane rides.

The thrill of taking off. The unfamiliar view of roads and cars from up above. The wingtips slicing through wisps of clouds.

Today’s Video of the Day from filmmaker Ryan Booth captures those small moments in a way that takes me right back to those early memories of flight. Set to a dreamy soundtrack by Imogen Heap, Ryan shot this video with a 5D Mark II and used Final Cut Pro for color correction. Check out more of his work here.
