Watch These in-Depth Yelp Video Reviews
For over a year now, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles director Dave Green and actor Joe Cobden have been posting increasingly complex 12-second videos on Yelp. Together with friends, they shot 41 Los Angeles restaurant videos, often featuring special effects, stunts and time-lapse animation that evoke the golden age of Vine.
Dubbed “Tooth Pix,” the series began as a very clever use of Yelp’s often-overlooked “video review” tool, but now videos are breaking Yelp’s 12-second barrier. You can see all the full versions on the toothpick on Instagram . Here are our favorites.

In an interview with LA Weekly, Greene described the team’s process:
We shoot about five or six of them in a day. Most of them are made either free of charge or using the props and equipment we have lying around. Some are completely improvised and some are actually planned. We just keep trying things until one of us laughs.
