Frank Zappa on Crossfire 86

This Lofton guy's a joke. I was struck by how dated this whole debate seemed. Are we past these issues of censorship? The Parental Advisory Sticker's been added since 86. I guess that's where all of this was headed.

Chuck Norris

Chuck Norris never cries because of severe bruising by Bruce Lee's fists.
There is no chin under Chuck Norris's face, Bruce Lee kept it as a trophy.
Chuck Norris's round house kick is so powerful because he funnels the hits rained upon him by Bruce Lee.

cool little music video with a little nod to italian painter giuseppe arcimboldo

This Is New York City-- tourism commercial

This is something that i'm glad i found on youtube today. i came across it when i was looking at stuff through Volumeone.com>athletics>motionographer.com. i suggest looking at it through motionographer.com for better quality.

Volume One

These guys are really cool. This is probably (definitely) after effects, but it gives me flash inspiration!

Dumbland

David Lynch does Flash. Really, it's David Lynch, doing Flash!

John Whitney's Arabesque

This is primitive computer animation. First he would design the sequences of geometric shapes and then print them out (one page per frame, so 24 pages a second). Then he would run these printed pages through an optical printer wherein he would make aesthetic decisions like color, cutting, and cross-dissolving...Very labor-intensive. And we think Flash is a lot of work!

Spit Art

Interesting Process, to say the least!

Human LCD

(this has nothing to do with our project...)

Cable Conversations

This short video was a project that my friend Michael did with his students at Eagle Rock School in Colorado. He said it was one of those apple competitions where they give you an assignment and you have to complete it within 24 hours. I think its really great. The timing is right on which makes this super simple video really interesting.

Yellow Magic Orchestra

Japan's answer to Kraftwerk. I honestly had no idea of the existence of the band until a few minutes ago. I stumbled upon them when looking at Doravideo performances (he samples at least one of their videos). Very fun to watch and listen too...

Powerthirst

A new energy drink and a new way of life.

Strindberg and Helium

strindberg and helium

awesome short flash animation series featuring playwright strindberg and his little pal helium.

Rathergood

from rathergood.com guys. nice use of images in flash. simple techniques of movie within a movie (that we looked at in class last week) to create a simple scene that keeps us engaged.

Rejected

don hertzfeld animation, notice how/why the crude animations work, time and sound! but mostly timing. tension and release..

Doravideo

This guy (Doravideo) is incredible:


I think he's using a Max/MSP and Jitter based program to create his drum triggered loops. However he does it, it's incredibly interesting to hear the accidental melodies created with the audio from his primarily culturally based found footage. It's also not often a solo performer can pull of something like this that will keep your attention, which he does. His website does a good job of describing the movement of his performances: "Like hammer blows and alternating at the speed of light between play, fast rewind, forward or pause". This is like a live version of our last project!

Here's Doravideo+New Order!



He's in the Guiness Book of World records as well!
"The DVD released in July of this year, 'DoraVideo Volume 1', managed to violate every imaginable law, committing copyright infringement, slander, indecent exposure, has been awarded a spot in the Guiness Book of World Records for offensiveness, and went out of print just before release./ When the DVD was released, one could say it was a study of copyright infringement, slander, and indecent exposure, being successful at very nearly violating all of these rules, and is a product which offers a very strange sense of satisfaction."
From his record label's website which also contains his very interesting biography

Naturally 7 Live in Paris Subway ! (ANNOYING)

Public Performance is a pretty interesting thing. Because you don't pay for it, there's no reason for the performer to expect anything of you (e.g. your interest, courtesy, or even respect). So it basically just boils down to whether or not you like the performance. If I was one of these Parisians unfortunate enough to have to stand there and have my eardrums assaulted by this lame shit, I'd like to think that I would've had the gall to sabotage this corny a cappella rendition of a Genesis song.

Hmm, what would have been more effective, singing another song louder, or pressing my lips up against the palms of my hands and blowing hard to make the loudest fart sounds possible?

flash fight

so violent

YMCK

YMCK is a Japanese group and their music videos always look like old/large-pixel-games. (They sound like games, too)
I'll add one more video of YMCK below.

music video

This look like flash.......
It's not TOO interesting, though. (the animation explains a lot of things about Japanese culture, but it might be boring if you don't get what they're talking about...)

Oskar Fischinger

Early experimental/conceptual film German artist. Word is he did the Mickey and the Broom scene in Fantasia but never got any recognition for it from Disney so he hates creepy old Walt just like the rest of us. Fischinger is really amazing, he works with the concepts of rhythmic hypnosis and synesthesia. The stuff people where attempting with their appropriation projects reminds me of his films, so check it. THESE ARE ALL HOMAGES BECAUSE YOUTUBE IS LAWSUIT SHY, but you get the idea.

i got bees

not only is the tim and eric awesome show great job! a really great show, but their excessive use of kitschy, outdated effects is strangely appropriate for the feel of their show. in this clip, i like the way they use still frames to capture the general idea of the story/phone call. if they used regular live video, i don't think this would work anywhere near as well.

(these are the same guys that make tom goes to the mayor)

an artist should be remembered for his inspiration, not persperation

I just couldn't resist

oh my.

Brain eno's 77 Million Paintings

This dude's pretty cool. He produced U2's Joshua Tree. I wonder if he had a hand in their Zoo TV tour?

Reasons to hate Springs

From the horrible pun in the title to the drug induced "Spring Fairy" you will never be happier we live in the digital age.

Force Blues

The postquil will be a mash-up of blue brothers and Jedi. Never have you seen such hilarity or space nuns.

"Amateur"

You might remember him from the "Hyperactive" post that I posted long long time ago. (Or some of you might have already seen this since this clip was originally posted on 2006)
But for those of you who haven't seen this yet, enjoy!

strike cheek

These are the scenes from a Korean drama called "Jumong."
The collection of the cheek-striking scenes reminds me the "f*ck" clip & the "yeah" clip Rick showed us in class. (Except a song is inserted in this one)
I'm not going to translate the lyrics, but it's basically explaining who is striking who for what reason (in a very enthusiastic way). So, yeah, I guess someone made up this song to put in the video.

*PS. And it's repeating the phrase [strike the cheek whenever you hate them] throughout the song..........Just in case you're curious.
