"Night at the Ex," video by Jacob Stein: [YouTube]

Cropped Clip [html page with embedded .5 MB Quicktime movie]

The Stein vid was posted in the comments to Nasty Nets. It's a camera following a girl in battery-operated devil horns as she walks around a fairground with Beck's "Gamma Ray" on the soundtrack. Banal, ordinary but very watchable, lots of depth and multilayered movement. In the clip I made, note all the levels of action going on simultaneously: boys running through funhouse tube, jumping, turning to the right, tube rotating, girl swiveling head, devil horns blinking, carousel lights flashing in the background, guy at back of tube who might be filming (?). De Palma-esque trigonometry on a budget.

Based on material recycled from a post by jeff at Double Happiness.
All the visuals and vocalese came from there (plus one sound bite)--the music is mine and is the only thing added besides editing and compression artifacts.

Update: One link from a travel spam blog--we're off to a good start.

The music is my drum and bass track "Patty Meld" with animated GIF visuals added. An example of "8-bit 2.0" art.

"John Pomara RMX" [16 MB Quicktime .mov]

Artist, old friend, and unwitting collaborator John Pomara sent me a low res .mov of a video he's showing in his current solo show. The imagery relates to his current series of paintings and ink jet prints, discussed here. Like a cad (as opposed to a CAD) I did a remix of the video (mostly for length but with a few aesthetic choices, too) and added my own music. Saved it from a .mov to an .avi and back to a .mov so it's muy mushy. This is low rent industrial media art offered with no apologies. Resemblance to anything 8-Bit or Carsten Nicolai-ish is purely intentional (at least on my end).
