Some people have just toooo much time on their hands.

This caught my eye a couple of night ago:




All sounds are from the movie.

Bob.

Impressive from an engineering standpoint, but their treadmill one-take video was more fun.

Technically, any of their videos could have been done by any of us with a decent camera and Vegas, it's talent and imagination that sets them apart.

Thanks Laurence.

The humour in lambasting, "mildly" ridiculing and celebrating the "other" commercials through this "consequences" genre, is done with much style, grace, lightness and just downright much attention to so much detail and awareness that this is what makes me glad to be part of the human race - totally, brilliantly human . . . . .

It's that whole thing of taking an original idea and adding to it something else that uses that same idea as its own petard to be strung up with. Clever . . . using all that reclaimed detritus of our living-space.

I spotted:

AUDI (hysterical!)
SONY ( several references there . . )
Guinness
Benecol(?)

. . . . . what else?

Thanks again Laurence,

Grazie

thanks jc - bloody brilliant - i shall spend the rest of the evening looking at all their other clips...

it's at times like this (very, very rare nowadays), that i feel i wouldn't mind doing another video clip or two - given sufficient budget of course.

Now watched it 3 times . . . still larfing!

Anyone else found this gem:

Also on Youtube where it all started:



Well it started when Tim Smit won a SR5 in a competition to make a fake trailer for Grindhouse. He bought a HC1 and taught himself AE and 3DS Max, the later just for the spaceship/helicopter thingy. I do see a few Videocopilot projects in this piece.

So you don't need a budget to make compelling SciFi. Just a compelling story that works within your means or maybe in this case his means dictated the story.

Take a look what this guy done..AMAZING !

"All animation working time: 5 days...
Rendering time: 110 days...
Used: 3ds max 2008 - Vray, Mudbox, AE, PS, Sound Forge, Vegas"

110 days, the main deserves a sainthood.
The last few frames shows he's a typical Vegas user :)

Bob.

This too shall Pass

Wow that camerman was GOOD almost like an industrial robot in his precision. I dont know how he did it but that would have been a lot of rehearsal..

Must have felt pretty annoyed after 4 months rendering to find out he typed "silly" with one L! :D

Total rip of 1987 video "The Way Things Go":

If people were educated more then instead of "wows" we would be hearing "thiefs."

I think you can call it a continuous take video. Considering the band members start the video splattered in paint, you can tell it took more than one take.

More "one take" videos:

Kylie Minogue - Come into my world

Cibo Matto - Sugar water

The Kylie Minogue video was directed by Michel Gondry who has a VERY impressive body of work. He is probably my favorite music video director.

Um, The Way Things is go is an example of a Rube Goldberg Machine. The two guys who created the "The Way Things Go" didn't invent the idea. They stole it just as much as OK, Go did. It's a genre. Hell, Rube Goldberg wrote a movie that the Three Stooges starred in 1930.
