Star Wars Uncut: a fully crowdsourced version of Episode IV
The project of creative technologist, Casey Pugh, this full length version of the George Lucas masterpiece was created from multiple 15 second segments recreated from the original movie and submitted by thousands of Star Wars fans, which were then spliced together by editor Aaron Valdez to form the final product. Genius, as both a commentary on contemporary pop culture trends (there are references to LEGO, stop motion, memes and the like) and on the power of tapping your audience for quality material.
Filmmaker creates LEGO stop motion to propose to girlfriend
Now, this is one for the ages: back in 2010, Atlanta film-maker Walter Thompson created a jaw-dropping LEGO stop motion to propose to Nealey Dozier, his girlfriend of four years. The video took 22 hours of shooting and some 2,600 pictures to splice together, a small sacrifice to pay for years of happiness together. Right? Right! Oh, and she said yes. Bonus.

I’ve got a couple of killer reasons and need a lazer to seal to the deal….
-Just got out of college, haven’t bought (or even been able to buy) new clothes & gear in YEARS
-Vinyl Night. Just moved to a new town and a group of friends have Vinyl Night every wednesday. People gather, spill wine, and put felt to wax. I don’t have any records to bring (yet) and Major Lazer would probably get some folks out of there seats and moving around
-Lost At E Minor has inspired me countless times since I stumbled upon your site, and I need to pass that on to others…
Hannah said | 28 June, 2009
Because I also spell las(z)er with a ‘z’
Katrina Leah said | 28 June, 2009
I need this shirt because it’s going to be zombie night in my small Halifax town real soon, and if I can’t have a real laZer to kill the undead, at least I’ll have this shirt when i get bitten and have to join the brain-hungry hordes.
Oh Lost at E Minor, continue to inspire me, my life has been so good with you in it!
Hayley said | 28 June, 2009
because then I will be able to see the future
John said | 29 June, 2009
Because it is true!
Tom said | 29 June, 2009
You give it to me or will burn your asses, because i have lasers!
Cole said | 30 June, 2009
This would really help restore my street cred. Ever since I crapped my shorts on the Cecil’s dancefloor, people just don’t respect. Help me, Major Lazer!
Tim Engelbrecht (german) said | 30 June, 2009
so i shoot things right, with guns, rabbits, foxes and other pests. there is usually blood everywhere. and when i tell people, they spit on me because i use a gun! but they don’t understand! they never understand! these narrow minded nuns on heat just don’t get that guns don’t kill people, lazers do. i think by wearing this shirt for the rest of my life it will reinforce my argument and counter those fools who have a doodle for a face! what do you say then? thanks minor. (i am also clinically obsessed with major lazer, help ease my pain)
Julie Pinzur said | 30 June, 2009
This Major Lazer shirt is amazing. I want it because it reflects the essence of my soul and lasers are always my first choice of weaponry. Besides those two reasons, t-shirts just look really good on me. Pick me!!
lachy said | 30 June, 2009
being a skinny white boy its pretty unrealistic that i’m carrying a gun around… but a lazer!
wearing this shirt would finally give me some long awaited scare factor
Allyson Rideout said | 30 June, 2009
I love jamaican musicians and the shirt looks totally cool.
Major Lazer is an awesome looking cartoon, and he looks like a
badass.
erin alvarez said | 30 June, 2009
i want this shirt because i run bartertown.
two men enter…one man leaves. with the t-shirt.
oh, and i’m a woman…but you get the point.
Luke Droulez said | 1 July, 2009
I want the prize pack because the only way to jam out to the pulsating afro-nasty beats of Major Lazer is the have the shirt. The music reminds me a wild ride through the Amazon, while the shirt reminds me of the time I was a Storm Trooper in Star Wars and the vinyl reminds me of those warm fuzzy feelings you get when the record skips.
skrogos said | 2 July, 2009
I should have it because I am actually a female vulcan and my 7 year cycle is ending soon, so I need to look attractive, yet intimidating.
Rochelle said | 2 July, 2009
My husband needs some new shirts in his collection…would love to see something new in the rotation.

The coolest band in Indonesia? I think so. White Shoes & The Couples Company describe themselves as a small band that is ‘influenced by Indonesian movie soundtracks from the 70s and inspired by the acoustic spirit of 1930′s classic jazz musicians’. But I like to think of them as carrying the torch for artists like Benny Goodman, Tahiti 80, and The Cardigans, all at the same time.
Listen to their track, Super Reuni.
