For this edi­tion of Thursday’s Round Up, I wanted to share a few videos that I enjoy. They vary from music video to ani­ma­tion to stop motion, and are all pretty mesmerizing. Blu’s video, Big Bang Big Boom is the story of of evo­lu­tion and its con­se­quences. The logis­tics and plan­ning to make this short ...
