Ah, weirdy timed. I was in London yesterday, and the Veinna Hotel (beside Tottanham Court Road) was doing a projection thing exactly like this (I think, end of lunch before I'm checking stuff so will have to weatch tonight)

It was very cool effects - like rotating pillars, collasping buildings, and smashed out windows, and people in the windows, stuff growing around and through, etc

Holy wow! I've never seen anything like that. When I started watching I was was thinking "How the hell have they done that!?" as I thought it was an actual 3D projection -- but then as it went on I realised how it was done. That doesn't take away from the effect though -- looks amazing. The plane coming towards you was pretty cool.

I imagine the effect isn't convincing if you're watching this from an angle, but if you have a good spot right in front of the middle of the projection, it must be pretty awesome :-D

Here's the one that my mum and I literally walked in on. I think the vid captures some things really well, others things not as well :)

French presenter called Arthur "plagied" Craig Ferguson's late show. Arthur hasn't bought the rights : here's Craig's reaction... :)

Another Star Wars link, though this ones a biggie! They finally finished StarWars Uncut (i guess most of you know about it?)
http://www.starwarsuncut.com/watch

Some of the scenes are great, some silly, some ridiculous, some very funny, most are low quality and some aren't even watchable they're so bad -- but altogether it's kind of fun, in a lo-fi user-generated way...

Are there any 'famous' people that did sections? I know the HAWP guys did the 'lock the door, and hope they don't have blasters' bit.

Dunno! I've only got as far as Luke & Ben finding his uncle/aunt killed by Stormtroopers. I can only watch a few mins at a time, it's not a "sit down and watch it all in one go" kind of experience... ;-)

I can't watch this video. Fortunately, I'm not interested in male nudity at all. Any female nudity videos, Gambit? :)

Translation: Gambit's video has been erased due to it's 'corrupting' content... A bit like Wikileaks.org !!!

Well, yeah, nudity ain't allowed on YouTube, it wouldn't have lasted long. Get this stuff while it's *hot* (It wasn't hot at all, in fact if you really wanna see it, it's here: http://www.vimeo.com/17406812)

LOL. "I feel a bit silly now." It's a nice video. Merry Christmas to everyone! :P

Honestly, I admire this guy's health. I'd have to spend a few months in hospital with pneumonia after doing this.

Yeah, just finished it, pretty cool. Some nice tricks to get somne of the levels. There#s one very symlistic three square level where it's all about jumping then shifting things aroudn yourself :)
