Heart Full of Sound

November 9, 2006 12:10 AM

The music video for the song "Heart Made of Sound" (YouTube) by the California band Softlightes is remarkably captivating; every word of the lyrics is a unique stop motion animation of household (as well as less common) objects laid out to form the word. Direct QT download here. Via

The video is far more interesting than the music to me... same goes for some of the other works by director Kris Moyes on his minimalist website.
Wolfmother's "White Unicorn" (defaced version) makes the most of a totally musically-clichéd performance. And The Presets' "Are You the One" throws lots of stuff at the screen and some of it sticks. (both .mov)

The video's really nicely done, but I think it's a pity the lyrics weren't... well, that they weren't BETTER, especially considering the prominence this video gives them.

It's amazing what they can do with computers nowadays.

Thanks, jonson, this was fun. Forwarding to a friend who loves the stopmo, and will like this.

Cool. What a shitty song, though.
