This is an impressive science fiction short film, with great effects, produced through a collaboration between Platige Image the European Space Agency to promote Rosetta. It stars Aidan Gillen (of game of Thrones) and Aisling Franciosi. The theme explores the ambition that turns science fiction into science fact.
The amusing part is that the "making of" video is longer than the film itself.
"Go Off or Die Off." A compilation and compendium of supplementary material uncovered during the research and analysis process in creating my companion blog... Renaissance Village Idiot. In other words, a pile of cool junk that is mostly flagrant re-blogging... except for the bits that crawl from the darkest projections of my personal Plato's Cave, regurgitated here for your nightmarish pleasure. Consider it An eclectic Collection of Oddities and Wisdom you Need to Know before the End of Days.

29 Celebrity Impressions, One Original Song | Crazy Musician
This could have gone terribly, terribly wrong, but is terribly, terribly entertaining and well done. Musician Rob Cantor (vocals/voices, with the help of several others, as this is a music video and not a live performance) performs an original song in the voices of 29 celebrities. What I particularly love is that the theme of the song actually ties in with the use of all the voices, instead of being a simple gag or shtick: you're perfect in the way that you are.
And before anybody screams foul that it's fake and this dude isn't actually singing all those voices: yep, you're right. It's a music video. It's to promote a music album called Not a Trampoline. Remember when Michael Stipe and REM blew the socks off the music video world by not singing (lip syncing) a line in "Losing My Religion"? Same sorta thing: it's to entertain.
Check out the "making of" video, it's pretty interesting in its own right:
