Those of us who used Facebook during this past week are probably all familiar with the site’s A Look Back feature. Offered in connection with their 10th Anniversary, the feature, theoretically, told “your story” via a hokey video montage consisting of your profile’s photos set to music.
This clip has recently been making the viral rounds, and if you’re not of too nervous a disposition you’ll quickly understand why. It features slow motion footage of rock climber, Alex Honnold (PeekYou profile here), ascending El Sendero Luminoso, a 1,500 foot wall in Monterrey, Mexico.
As we’ve observed before; some videos go viral, and you can’t for the life of you figure out why. This is not such a clip; indeed, the appeal is immediately evident and universal.
Coming from the popular YouTube channel, AsapSCIENCE — co-created by Canadians Mitchell Moffit (PeekYou profile here), and Gregory Brown — the above video is the first of their series of Winter Olympics inspired clips “about the psychology, physiology, biology, chemistry and physics of the games!”
From Blank on Blank — “a multimedia nonprofit with a simple mission: curate and transform unheard interviews with cultural icons, bringing them to life on YouTube, radio, mobile apps, and beyond” — comes this terrific animated clip featuring audio from Jimi Hendrix’s (PeekYou profile here) last known interview.
