Jelle Van Dun

Wouldn't it be just great if we could stop time sometimes and make things happen the way we wanted them to. Well using the technique 'Stop Motion' Dutch Media Designer Jelle van Dun has done just that. His clip "My animated world" was an instant success on the Internet.

'Stop motion' is a technique in which still photos are joined together to create the illusion of movement. The camera must capture each separate movement, six photos make only 1 second of film. 
Twenty seven year-old Jelle Van Dun started making stop motion films with clay figures about 11 years ago. It's something that takes a lot of creativity and imagination but Jelle Van Dun's films have become a huge internet success. 
Many filmakers are now paying hommage to the Dutchman. He's even started his own company, making films for Dutch television and foreign companies.Video Blogger Geriatric1927

For young and old keeping a diary has never been so popular. The modern way is a video diary. All you need is a webcam, a microphone, headphones and a computer.

Once a motorbike salesman, Pensioner Peter Oakley from Britain is one of the world's oldest practitioners of this rather young artform so he has a long life to look back on and a lot to say. 
Over the last two years he's posted over 100 videos looking back on his life. He posts around once a week, it keeps him occupied and has made him many good friends around the world. 
And even at 80 he's still going strong. It seems the secret to his success is his calm, quiet voice. But it's not all sitting in front of a computer screen. Peter's internet video fame also gets him out and about. 
He recently joined the band 'The Zimmers' who had a hit with a new rendition of the song 'My Generation' in 2007. The rocking Grandad still has a lot to give.DIY Hovercraft

The internet contains a lot of guides to building wacky home-made vehicles. Hovercrafts are the newest trend on video platforms. Nothing could be cooler than floating along upon a pocket of air, so why not impress your friends by downloading the instructions and giving it a try?

We put four physics students from the University of Ilmenau to the test. 
The first step is to stock up on materials for their unusual project. They need tough plastic sheeting,wood and a leafblower, the stronger the better! 
Then they sand the wood, less friction means more power. Fitting the pieces together is not as easy as it might sound. Improvisation is the key. 
The project wasn't so cheap - materials cost ran to around 200 Euros - but they certainly turned heads on the university campus.
