Stuck in a Groove / Phonovideo

▶

I think I’m in love! This is one of the greatest VJ tools and performances i’ve seen! Would be pretty intense to play for more than 15 minutes though….

Phonovideo is a VJ tool or visual instrument used to display animations in an analog way without the help of a computer. “Stuck in a Groove” is the first film made with this technique, it serves also as a demo for the technique .
In the future phonovideo should be used for live performances in cooperations with musicians, performancers and other artists.
The music for “Stuck in a Groove” was created by Richard Eigner/ Ritornell and is also contained on the album Ritornell – Golden Solitude (karaoke kalk cd 47 / lp 52)

LCD Soundsystem – Drunk Girls

▶

LCD Soundsystem’s got a new video for their song Drunk Girls and it’s made by Spike Jonze.

It’s basically the live band trying to perform the song while a heap of people in creepy panda (i think) outfits try to molest them.

It’s kind of amazing.

Earth Day: Give Earth a Hand

▶

Check out this new ad for Greenpeace by Daniel Bird. It’s a pretty great concept with good execution.

The only bit that didn’t sit well with me was the drawn out ‘give earth a hand’ at the end. It was a little bit like they were hitting me over the head with the message yelling ‘do you get it? because it’s made of hands!’

Worth a look.
