Video Collage

Cut-and-paste in motion/

Listen to the full album: http://bit.ly/1TbdB2D "The Magician" by Andy Shauf from the album 'The Party,' available now on Anti (World Excl.

A friend of mine sent me a link to a music video today. She said she thought I'd like it. And she was right.

The video (above) is by collage artist Winston Hacking (who also does more traditional cut-and-paste ... and collage GIFs!) and is reminiscent of Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" stop-motion classic (which is reminiscent of Terry Gilliam's amazing Monty Python animations). 

And while I dig the Shauf music video, I really fucking dig the one Hacking did for Flying Lotus (below).

Official video for 'Post Requisite' by Flying Lotus, directed by Winston Hacking. Flying Lotus in 3D North American tour continues - dates and tickets at http://s.warp.net/flylo-sk To celebrate, Flylo albums Los Angeles, Cosmogramma, Until The Quiet Comes, You're Dead!

Watching these videos, I started thinking about other video collages I've stumbled across online recently. Specifically, the animated loop "Tango" by Polish artist Zbigniew Rybczyński from 1980 (via).

The Rybczyński video reminded me of the Bonobo music video "Cirrus" by animation artist Cyriak (who, btw, also did the opening sequence for w/ Bob & David (which is the follow up to the greatest sketch comedy show ever created, Mr. Show with Bob & David)).

I'm not sure if there's a larger point to this post other than to share all of these awesome videos and to say: Collage is amazing and versatile, and amazingly versatile. 

Cut. Paste. And repeat.
