Olympia to Seattle in 2 Minutes

This guy stuck an 8mm film camera out his Volkswagen's sun roof and took individual shots of the drive from Olympia to Seattle. The stop motion animation lasts 2 minutes, and it's got a neat soundtrack by the guy's band.

What I like about it - car trips are a familiar experience, lots of boredom and then excitement when you get there, and this shorthands the experience into two familiar minutes that. When you finally see the city, you get that feeling and it's awesome, knowing that the trip's finally over. It's a unique cinematic experience. Plus there's a kitty cat at the end of it.

Kitty cat!
