10 Reasons Digital Is Better Than Advertising - Remixed
This is all going to seem a little strange. Why on earth would anyone want to remix a presentation in such a fashion?
Well it’s a funny story you see. I was mucking around with some basic VJing software. It’s a thing called Quartonian that can take a folder full of images and do crazy stuff with them (using Quartz Composer on the Mac if you’re geekily inclined).
Anyway I tried it out with some holiday snaps and it was a bit odd. The images were all a bit too, well, holiday like. I wanted some pictures that had a more thought out narrative. So I thought why not stick a presentation through the VJing software? I didn’t want to use a client presentation so this is what came to hand.
Here’s what happened:

Oh my good lord I can see myself having some fun with This. Slipping in transformation like this 1/2 way through a boring creds presentation into an acid inspired 3d alternate reality…
The original version of the presentation can be seen in video format with me presenting it over at PSFK. The remixed version is much shorter and more interesting though 
[If you want to do such a thing, and why wouldn’t you? It’s really very simple - just export your presentation out of Keynote or Powerpoint as a series of JPEGs, then point Quartonian at the folder - you’re away! I turned it back into video using Snapz Pro to screen capture the output]
Art of Noise: Moments in Love
A classic bit of 80s Balearic tunage. What’s not to love. A proper classic. Not 100% sold on the video though…

Is this techno viking’s mum? Or grandma?
Very scary indeed.

Nice inspiration for an ad. Anyone, anyone…

Wowza. This 12 minute tripped out animation for Kraftwerk’s seminal Autobahn is quite something.
Buy the DVD (or VHS) and find out more here.

That’s a Mermaid?
It’s amazing what YouTube throws up in it’s ‘related videos’ section:
For me, that’s not a mermaid. This is a mermaid:
I’d have loved to see Tom Hanks fall in love with the top one though.
Pre-YouTube Silly Moments In Techno
I should probably start a separate category in the blog for this stuff. It just seems to keep on coming…
I loved this clip for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it’s a bunch of cheeky young ravers from Edinburgh. I would have been living there at the time and I’m pretty familiar with their ilk.
But the best thing about the clip is that it’s from a time way before YouTube. These guys were playing to the camera for no other reason than just mucking about. The only outlet for this stuff used to be You’ve Been Framed, and I don’t think they were going for that…
Thirdly it’s been recorded on Betamax which means there’s a load of ‘non-digital artefacts’ in the clip. The tracking being slightly off in places, moments of tape slur and more.
If you get bored jump through it, there’s new characters, new styles and so much more to see…
Awesome Elvis Dancing in The Park
Another bit of creative dance from elsewhere in the world…
Thanks to Mr Polaine for the link - genius.
