At first I though Samuel Pressman & Isaac Bauman‘s decision to make this video so flicker-y was a mistake (seriously, if you have epilepsy you might not want to watch this one) but the haunting, emotional sounds of Blackbird Blackbird kept me enthralled and, by the end, I was really digging the execution. So much so, in fact, that I immediately watched it two more times. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

seeper put together this architectural mapping piece for the Branchage Film Festival, held annually on the small island of Jersey, just off the coast of Normandy. There’s been a lot of great videos released in the mapping/projection space recently but I especially like this one because of how it alternates between showing what it was like to experience the show up close (complete with crowd reactions) as well as far away.

Upper First put this stunner together for Swedish electro outfit Mille by having Transfett project lots of colorful moving abstract goodness onto mannequins inside a darkened warehouse. It starts off fun and just keeps getting better and better towards the end. Dim the lights for this one. Enjoy!

The Tripatorium™ loves birds, music videos and electronic music so we’re quite thankful that Kristof Luyckx and Michèle Vanparys put this video together – it’s almost like they made it especially for us. Plus, it’s about a finch who eats a seed and starts tripping out…bonus! Top-flight tunes by Hermanos Inglesos with vocals from MeMe.

Bizarre, alien and just plain weird. Just think, this happens every time you strike a match. Existence takes on a whole new dimension of wonder when seen from the perspective of 2000 frames-per-second macro-vision. Thanks, UltraSlo!
My only complaint is that there’s no soundtrack, I feel like the right tune could take this video to a whole new level of great. Anyone out there got any ideas? If so, rip the video, put it to a tune you think appropriate, post it to the ‘Tubes or Vimeo (making sure, of course, to give full credit to UltraSlo for the original source material), and send us the link to where we can see it. I’ll feature the best one, right here on the site, and serve up some linkage of your choosing. The deadline for submissions is 12am ET this coming Monday the 24th (that means late Sunday night). You dig?

WeAreSeventeen put this animation together as, “a series of moving sculptures that take inspiration from the great surrealists like dali…These objects are mechanical but at the same time organic in their movements. They are a collection of textures, objects and movements that create images that we wanted to see…more” I’m diggin’ it.

Niklas Roy, who describes himself as “an inventor of useless things”, created this robotic curtain to shield himself, “from nosey looks of pedestrians passing by.” Simple and engaging – I dig it!

Tom Beddard, a.k.a. subBlue, brings the fractal goodness and for this, we are thankful. He’s currently, “working on a WebGL 3D fractal renderer that will let you explore structures like this in real time.” Sweet.

“Brutal and unforgiving – the Arctic Circle – where all that grows in abundance is….temptation.”
A cautionary tale told in stop-motion animation by talented young filmmaker Kevin Parry with music from Ihor Dawidiuk. And, hey, Tim Burton loved it (he said, “it’s like a cross between 2001 and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”) so you probably will too, no? Great work, Kevin, can’t wait to see what you create next!

Kristofer Ström, of Baltimore Clap fame, created this video on a whiteboard (no undo/redo!) for Swedish house-outfit Minilogue‘s 2006 Hitchhiker’s Choice EP. It’s trippy, strange and a blast to watch…I just wish it was in HD. Well done, Kris!
A big thanks to ‘that_fisher_kid’ for sending it in...CHEERS!
