Studio – No Comply (video)

Wanted to make a video for this great track for some time. In the end just used various clips downloaded from YouTube, mostly footage of Gothenburg itself but also some tourism videos of Sweden from the 50s. It works pretty well most of the time -- the timelapse stuff is great (I sped it up even more in most cases to sync with the musical changes). New improved version of this video re-edited and re-uploaded to YouTube in September 2009.

Lady GaGa videomashup

It may well get deleted soon but for now you can check the video edit I put together for one of the Ultramix 08 highlights -- ‘Just Dance’ over Midfield General’s ‘Disco Sirens’ and the Kris Menace mix of Moby’s ‘Ooh Yeah’. Fun fun (never mind that even if you liked the track 6 months ago you have no desire to hear it in any other context now heh).

It’s viewable in the Flowplayer on the right too.

Ultramix 90:90 iPod ad mash-up

Put this together for a proposed 90 minute version (going for the same breakneck speed as yer Girl Talks) of the original Ultramix 90 set (which is gonna be reworked a little too some time in the near future), using a couple of iPod adverts because sexy visuals with the music sells it better. These ads always get me (relatively) excited and I really like them. They even seem to make the songs featured in them sound better. So I downloaded a couple from YouTube, worked out how to import FLVs into Premiere (which meant forking out a few quid for a plug-in licence) and re-edited the vids to fit the audio which was a preview clip I did for the mix nearly FOUR years ago now (scary). Look out for the 90:90 edition coming soon.

Music video edit: Ciara vs Sasse

Following up on that Ciara vs Sasse mash-up, here it is in VIDEO form. I managed to find the original ‘Get Up’ clip and then edit it a little in Premiere so that the lip sync matches the slower speed of the acapella in the audio. Unfortunately this always seems to get desynchronised a little when uploaded to YouTube but it just about works still.

Hopefully the clip will be allowed to stay up. I haven’t bothered with YT after they suspended my old account while I was on holiday back in the Summer -- never knew if this was more because of the promo edits such as the one above or because of footage of England goals I’d added for people to enjoy (probably the latter because some of those may have been commercially available). All very annoying. But hopefully I’ll get the other music vid edits done so far (inc. the Madonna/Biosphere/Autechre one from Ultramix 94) back on YT -- in the meantime you can watch most if not all of them in the Flowplayer on the right >.

Oh and you may have noticed the new graphics on this site -- a big improvement I think. Unfortunately I stupidly flattened the Photoshop file ft. all the different elements on different layers so will have to redo from scratch for further alterations.

Cildo Meireles – Babel

Thanks to the evergood South Bank Show for introducing me to this installation by Brazilian artist Cildo Meireles. Titled ‘Babel’, it’s a tower of various types of transistor radio, tuned to different stations. Great concept, would love to see it.
