Juuuuuuuuuunnnnnneeeeeeeee 111111111555555555ttttthhhhhh!!!!


Our friend Ryan Junell has a new project, and it's so cool I wish that I had thought of it first. Ryan put together the original Slo-Mo fest in 2006 and it was tremendously fun, wondefully weird, and occasionally transcendent. Now he has expanded on the concept--100 one minute long videos, all of them done in slo-mo--but this time he is only looking for the scary stuff. Ryan is a big fan of the sublimely screwed-up film, so I am confident it will turn out awesome. Here are the details:
