Somebody called Donna sends us a mail ‘writing from a Nokia sponsored blog’.
Donna, kind soul that she is, thought
‘With your stop motion background we thought you might have a
different take on the video than the gamers and
tech bloggers who might normally watch the video’
Aw..bless her!
Nothing to do, then, with trying to use as us a part of an attempted
“virality” strategy ( don’t get us wrong, we’re impressed dvblog even
appears on these folks’ radar)
So..watch the movie..it’s good.
There’s stuff to be learned here, no doubt –
not least that the corporate vultures can clearly buy in time and talent;
but how much better a world it would be if the silly amounts of cash it
clearly cost to make this just went straight to fund new work by artists…

Niles Atallah- Una belleza extraña y frágil/A Strange & Fragile Beauty.
Hagalo Usted Mismo (2007, 25.1MB, 4:24 min)
Video clips hechos cuadro a cuadro de una belleza y
fr�gil extra�eza del artista chileno Niles Atallah.
El trabajo es tambi�n de una imaginaci�n enormemente
f�rtil y singularmente libre de clich�.
Apuesto que estos fueron simultaneamente un gran
desaf�o y un placer a�n m�s grande de realizar.
�Maravilloso!!
Music videos with stop-motion work of beauty
& fragile strangeness from Chilean artist Niles Atallah.
The work, also, of an enormously fertile imagination
& one singularly free of clich’.
I bet these were simultaneously a great trial &
a greater joy to make.
Wonderful!

Will Oldham & Harmony Korine
No More Workhorse Blues (2006, 6.4MB, 2:55 min.)
Will Oldham a.k.a Bonnie Prince Billy is a writer/performer
of unusual talent & significance.
Extremely smart, genuine skill with language (in many registers)
a wide range of cultural reference, a sense of being part of a
larger tradition, but also a rootedness –
the mining of a very specific & personal seam.
Then, still, within this – a capacity to surprise, even shock.
An integrity.
Here he teams up with Harmony Korine who matches the
complex richness of the song with a roquefort of a video:-
a sweet rottenness -simultaeneously intensely delicious
& to the same degree inducing a certain queasiness.
