Again and Again

OS X as music video. (SLYT) Dennis Liu's interpretation of "Again and Again" by the Bird and the Bee, using a particular operating system as inspiration. It does feel kind of like an Apple ad, but it's quite creative.

Hmm. Well, see, this is just me, but these are my problems with this: 1) I fucking love The Bird and the Bee, and I would much rather see Inara than the chick they had lip-synching to this 2) I fucking love the video to "Again and Again" and I would much rather watch it than... well, most other things these days. Otherwise, cute, I guess.

The Windows XP version: intentionally crappy.

so this guy filmed his computer usage while resizing text, changing his desktop background and edited all down to music? amazing! i can't even fathom how i manage to type on my pc it's so backwards! i'm suitably awed... which is not all that much.

Woo! Loved it; that gave every appearance of lots of hard work and I thought it well done and appealing Suck it, pretentious haters. (I've been coming down on that side of the divide a lot lately, haven't I? Guess I'm not pop-cultured enough.)

F*ck this Mac-only garbage. You needed a Mac to view this YouTube page?

This is pretty cool, actually. I had never heard the song before (and I like it), that chick IS hot, and the music video was pretty creative. It wasn't all typing and resizing text, but basically the entire song's lyrics are on the screen in some way, either via MS Word, different users' background images (with the 3d rotating cube transition), dashboard apps, or images in photoshop. It obviously took a lot of work to make this video.

I wonder if there's a way to make this in Mac OS 7.5....

What's the screensaver being used after the glowing butterflies one (about 1:55 into the clip)?

The video is pretty slick. Fuck all the haters.

I like the song and the video, but I think they're trying a little too hard to be the next Cansei de Ser Sexy, who are cool because they weren't even trying to be in an Apple ad in the first place.

ericbop, i'm pretty sure this is an unofficial video.

Er, yeah. Methinks the problem here is a little not-knowing-what-you're-missing.

Oh, that's quite lovely. I would totally watch that non-existant 1960s TV show.

From the link: The Bird & the Bee contacted me, and they really liked it. I scored two tickets to their next concert in NY, and we hope to meet up. Hopefully they will let me direct their next video!

The (really cute!) girl's name is Larkin Clark, according to the interview.
