Izza Kizza - I'm The Izza Kizza (lyrics nsfw) by Yoram Benz of Decon Media (YouTube channel). His style is at times reminiscent of www.60x1.com (which unbelievably has not had its own FPP yet).

“The relativity of simultaneity in modern physics favors the philosophical view known as eternalism or four dimensionalism, in which physical objects are either temporally extended space-time worms, or space-time worm stages, and this view would be favored further by the possibility of time travel.” —from the Wikipedia article on time travel

ffffound, the video.

Keith Schofield(previ ously)'s new video for Charlotte Gainsbourg and Beck has ruffled a few feathers. In a recent interview, Schofield is very open about his creative method: "I’m just always looking for new ideas. I mainly do this by spending a ton of time online. I go to a lot of link filter sites (like reddit.com), read a lot of wikipedia, watch a lot of youtube videos, look at found photo sites (like ffffound.com). By absorbing enough stuff, the ideas eventually come." (For completeness' sake, read Schofield's treatment, and watch the rather inferior label's cut.)

Coming soon to a ghettoblaster in Dolores Park.

A short film about Kanye West by Spike Jonze

GilloD — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 01:07:48 -0800

Kanye West and Spike Jonze follow up Flashing Lights with. Something. After the success of Flashing Lights it seemed perfectly reasonable that Spike Jonze and Kanye West would team up for another music video. I'm not sure that this is what anyone expected. Part meditation on the misery of fame and money, part surrealist art film, 0% music video, it's like someone filled the Real World hot tub with acid and sent them out on the town. It's a long video, but do stick around the ending.

Rammstein is not a subtle band (NSFW)

zippy — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 12:58:46 -0800

Rammstein's Pussy (video, really NSFW, SLnYT) gets right to the point. Youtube has taken down uploads. Facebook has taken down links (though not Links). Here's a fan-created censored version (NSFW lyrics). Contrast Pussy with their earlier work, Keine Lust, in which they parody themselves as old, fat, and sexless (until they rock, of course). Are they intentionally following a route blazed by Spinal Tap? Pussy is not the band's first controversial video. Their cover of Depeche Mode's Stripped used footage from Leni Riefenstahl's 1936 Olympics documentary, Olympia (including the beautiful diving sequence). When asked whether it was wise to base their video on a film commissioned by Hitler, the band said that they are not Nazis.

Lori Samsel's Get in the Van

psychobum — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 06:20:43 -0800

Lori Samsel's Get in the Van (trailer, gallery, testimonials) is a space out masterpiece 25 minute greenscreen live-action/animation/puppet exercise video set to chiptune electronic music by Desert Planet, 8bitpeoples Twilight Electric, Plasticflesh, and others that will take your dimension to another dimension. The entire video in all its blown out seziure inducing over the top eye candy beep boop beep glory can be downloaded (550meg .avi, divx codec) from archive.org. I couldn't find a good link for Plasticflesh's music but I did find the root directory to all of it. That guy has some amazing C64 looking animated films like Nullsleep - Dirty ROM Dance Mix. Desert Planet have some interesting music videos too, like Return of the Ninja Droids. The only place I could find the song used in the trailer is at http://www.micromusic.net called 'theres more' by Commie 64 (an old pseudonym for Twilight Electric).

WTF? Trippy music video from the USSR.

grumblebee — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 11:53:56 -0800

I'm not a fan of front-page posts that don't describe their link, but I seriously have no idea what this is. It's Russian. It's from the '60s. Now that I've watched it, I feel my life is complete, yet I somehow simultaneously want my eight minutes back (you've been warned). SLYT.

For all your optical illusion and visual gimmick needs.

Mix one part music from indie-pop band, one part hand-drawn animation, and one part found 8mm film footage (mostly reels randomly bought off eBay without knowing the contents). Result: "Sunlight" music video (hosted on vimeo), inspired by said track from the band Harlem Shakes. [via mefi projects]

We Are Smug is the side project of former Savage Garden frontman turned electropop showman Darren Hayes and collaborator and fellow electronic musician Robert Conley. Hayes and Conley had been working on this project secretly for about two years before releasing it online for free on Hayes's birthday. There are no current plans to tour or sell this album, aside from the free download, but there are already official music videos. (Warning: last link potentially triggering.)

Paper cutout animation is repetitive, time consuming work. Results, however, can be well worth it. (SLYT)
