Says Tom Moody: Recommended: Guthrie Lonergan’s 9 Short Music Videos.
Reminiscent of BEIGE’s cheesy blue (green?) screen vids,
each is built around some corporate sound
(ringtone, Microsoft boot-up noise, DVD intro)
that craps up our daily lives. Also good:
Holographic Wainscoting – Drift
Drift (2007, 199MB, 10:20 min)
Last in our series of pieces from Carl Burton.
Don’t be put off by the file size of this piece -it’s
definitely worth the wait.
Magnificent!
Wind Along the Coast – Ivan Maximov
Wind Along the Coast (2003, 47.8 MB, 6:50 min.)
A lyrical and funny story about the hard life of a village on the coast
suffering from the high winds.
The project was made possible by funding from the Russian ministry of culture
and the ‘Gubernia’ foundation of social culture programs.
Music: D. Kramer – A. Kuznetsov (after ‘Sea Journey’ by Chick Corea)
(thanks Genia).
atmo – The Voice
The Voice (clip) (2004, 7.9 MB, 1:36 min.)
atmo was founded in 2000 by a handful of friends who shared years
of free-lance filmmaking and reporting from places like Bosnia, Beirut and South Africa.
Johan Söderberg has lip-synced some of the most hated and loved people in history.
A Fluxus Re-enactment: A Walk Into the Sea
A Walk Into the Sea (2006, 21.3MB, 3:55 min.)
Re-enactment by Zach Layton of Ben Vautier’s 1963
performance a walk into the sea.
Great!
Beating Google
Rudy Adler piece on the excellent gaaagle.com,
protesting Google’s spineless policy of assisting
Chinese government censorship.
Check out this site, there’s some great stuff there.
Even better, make a short & relevant movie & send it in.
Now.
Holographic Wainscoting again
Donna Kuhn – I don’t fix a word
I don’t fix a word (2006, 4.5 MB, 2:16 min)
Mini-Me (2005, 12.1MB, 2:25 min)
These two videos by Donna Kuhn were made in circumstances of terrible
personal loss: the death of her son & then later that of a close friend.
Astonishing then, their delicacy & richness & the sheer dexterity of
handling & making, particularly in I don’t fix a word which
is a jewel, a small masterpiece.
This Spartan Life
Dance (2006, 9.8MB, 2:24 min.)
Travelogue (2006, 14.6MB, 1:21 min.)
This Spartan Life is a talk show set in the multi-user
combat game Halo 2 featuring actual interviews with
guests in the live game online.
These two ‘music videos’ are made using material from the game.
Vertical Features Remix – Curt Cloninger
Vertical Features Remix (2006, 5.35MB, 1:01 min)
