Oi Va Voi : Everytime

You’ve got paper ? You’ve got a shredding machine (scissors can work too, but it will be a little longer…). You can make a video !

This is how this inspiring video of the British band Oi Va Voi has been made : Every third frame of the footage was printed, shredded and shot three times blended with adjacent frames by different stripes configuration. A work done by Katarzyna Kijek and Przemysław Adamski.

There are a only few shots around about the making-of of this video because “the process itself was pretty boring so it didn’t come to our minds to document it” Katarzyna said. Boring ? I can believe it ! But the result is far from boring. A real pleasure for us.

Kanye West : Amazing

To be honest, I’m not a big fan of this song of Kanye West. But I do love the beautiful nature views of this clip directed by Harold “Hype” Williams.

It seems to have been filmed on locations in Hawai.

Susan Boyle has got talent

Susan Boyle has got talent. Certainly. I can say I was a little thrilled when I heard her voice for the first time. But it is certainly not enough to explain the worldwide phenomenom that followed.

What makes this video so viral is the surprise we all got listening to her, because we all expect talent from beauty and youth. Not from Susan. Noone can imagine that you can reach 47 with the voice of an angel without being discovered. Well, sure you can. Because before the web 2.0 era, only beauty and youth could help you pass through the “filters” toward success. Talent was only a bonus.

Things have changed. The Susan Boyle phenomenom is here to prove it. Now people wants talents back on the scene.

But it is amusing to see how “filters” (at least, some of them) try to tell us the story the old way. 15 days after the first broadcasting of Susan video, it is now impossible to embed a Susan Boyle video from Youtube, except the “official” one from the official Britain’s Got Talent channel. They are not to blame for trying to capitalise on this traffic. But what bothers me is that this “official” video is a shortened, where you can’t feel anymore the cynical mood at the beginning of the video, and where the apologies of the jury has been cut (BTW, great reaction from the jury).

I’m sure that if it was published this way the first time, it wouldn’t have been such a phenomenom.

Phoenix : Lisztomania

Moray McLaren – We Got Time

David Wilson, a London based animator, has directed this videoclip for the song “We Got Time” of Moray McLaren. A very contemplative clip that has been made just taking advantage of the way film and persistence of vision works No CG, no compositing animation loops onto footage.

On David website, you can download a hi-res version of the clip, or have a look at the making-of.

The Piano (short animation movie)

The Piano is a short animation movie directed by Aidan Gibbons in 2003 while he was at University.

As Aidan wrote in the FAQ about this movie, the inspiration for this short hugely come from the music : “Comptine d’un autre été : L’après-midi” by Yann Tiersen.
