A friend of mine posted this on his blog, and I immediately knew I wanted to share it with you here. But then I forgot about it. (Huh. Imagine that.) Until last night when Steve came across it on some sort of list of memorable videos of 2011.
This is the coolest music video EVER. And it’s made with Jelly Belly Jelly Beans. (Which, you know, are the best jelly beans EVER. So it’s no surprise that the music video rocks.) If you haven’t seen it, watch.
Kina Grannis has a lovely voice and it’s a sweet song. But the video. SO cool. It took two years and 288,000 jelly beans to make it. (Can you even imagine? For one music video. Now that‘s a labor of love.)
You know what’s equally interesting? The Making Of video they posted. (Actually, I think it’s more interesting than the music video itself, but I always like to see how things are done, you know? And how insane some people are in doing what they love. A good kind of insanity, for sure.)
Thanks to Andy for the links.
Also? Totally unrelated to these videos, but equally fun: Google has an easter egg. Go to Google.com, type “let it snow” into the search bar and hit enter. And then just watch what happens.
(Hey, Google? That’s pretty cool, but you know what would be even better than that? If when we hit enter it actually snowed where we were. We’re looking at a green Christmas here, and that’s completely unacceptable, so I’m looking for any kind of help to get some snow. Do you think you can make that kind of easter egg? If anyone can, I know it’s you guys.)
Hope the beginning of your week is filled with cheer. And snow. (Hope my week will be filled with snow, but it’s not looking likely.)
