Radiohead video hoopla
It blows my mind how Radiohead manages to stay fresh in the public’s eye. I love it because Radiohead is one of my favorite bands of all time. I think part of the charm in this and other Radiohead projects is that the band is never gun shy about taking risks, no matter how big or successful they get.
Unrelated but earlier today…

Orgesticulanismus
It’s an animator’s film with lots of beautiful, wildly creative hand-drawn animation on display. I just find it incredibly inspiring to see skilled animators freestyling and having fun with the graphic possibilities of the medium.

The Great Mashup
From my very first super 8 clip at ten years old of my family and perhaps my first love (the little girl from next door that lingers with her eyes to the camera walking backwards downhill), through all the ups and downs of my life with images, film and video, to an isight shot of my hand while i sat on the floor among the cables putting this video together - completed published productions or projects randomly started and abandoned, with fragments of all of it — this is: The Great Mashup.
From Pixelated Anamorphic.
