Jamie Lidell




Jamie Lidell's video for You Got Me Up. Looks like it was originally shot in one take on film, then drawn over frame by frame. Very simple, Jamie Lidell dances and sings with cat. It's interesting seeing how Lidell's music translates from record to stage. He uses Max/MSP primarily when performing live.

i love this! I love the idea of the cat as a symbol of intimacy. I'm more intimate and comfortable with my cat than i could ever be with a person. could this guy do this performance with an intelligent, critical person? if only we all became cat-people.

ohhhhh cat people. I didn't find this video too interesting. Maybe it was the song. I really think it could have benefited from a variation of image. Maybe walking down a street or an interaction with another person. Maybe some color. Cool idea though.
