Music Videos

I just saw the damn near coolest thing I have seen in a while. My friend linked me to a music video of a band named Sour from Japan.

This music was also pretty interesting, but a good interesting.

In the video, they get a few of their fans (from the looks, around 20) and have them set up on a laptop webcam, and they just do some visually stunning effects and such with it. It will blow your mind.

Here is the video:

Now, that I posted that video, It also reminds me of the Weezer video for Pork and Beans.

The video for Pork and Beans features a tribute to many of the viral videos of the year.

The intro of the video also features a webcam style type intro.

Also, I am glad to say that Rivers Cuomo is getting better after his bus crash.

Stop Animation

Stop Animation - the art of making still life, move. Well, generally speaking that is.

I have been a fan of this type of art for some time now, and I decided to write a blog about it, and show some of my personal favorite stop animation videos.

I am a fan of photography, Not really of people, but of just every day life, or amazing scenery. I love the way it captures the true colors of things and makes them stand out to help you realize how beautiful the world is. Past all of the modern junk like Politics, War, Pollution, and the works, there is a world all of its own. I love photographers that capture that. I also love how this can tie in with stop animation.

Stop animation is also similar to claymation (such as Gumby). Stop animation is usually pictures of things, frame after frame, and when played back, it looks like motion.

Here are some examples.
