Video Mashup – Videsel Part 2

After the music video selection, I chose to continue this serie with video mashups. Also called video sampling, it’s a form of art for itself. By using existing footage you create a brand new way to look at the same images.

Giovanni Sample

This is not fresh stuff, my friend Vijem sent me this maybe 3 years ago but it doesn’t loose its interest. The “Black track” is not my favorite video, you should really make sure to check out Giavonnis “Basicamente” mashup on his website (Mondovision>Basicamente).

Eclectic Method

Those London natives are a fusion of DJs and VJs. Usually you have one of each. Those guys do both at the same time. Really impressive. I couldn’t resist to post you a “making of” movie. Great stuff. www.eclecticmethod.net. I couldn’t find a tour date in Switzerland. Das ist aber schade!

Kutiman

He is a musician and video editor from Israel. With almost 800’000 views on Youtube the following video is not exactly fresh stuff.

Lasse Gjertsen

I’m pretty sure you saw at least one of his videos. But with his hyperactive editing style, he is bringing his personnal touch to this art. Ok, this maybe a bit different since he is shooting his own video before editing them. Still, this is pretty interesting.

It really wasn’t easy to find good new stuff. So I’d really appreciate your contribution to this post. Do you know any other video sampler?

In the last weeks, I’ve spend a lot of time browsing around on video websites. I decided to start a post serie to share my findings. The first article on this topic is about music video. It’s always incredible how many (wierd & insane) ideas the directors can have.

Ramona Falls – I say Fever

This is one of the best music videos I’ve seen. It starts slowly, but then! Waouh!

Yeasayer – Ambling Alp

Fujiya & Miyagi – Ankle Injuries

Röyksopp – This must be it

Themselves – Roman is as Roman does

Cinnamon Chasers – Luv Deluxe

Nathalie Portman’s Shaved Head – Sophisticated side poneytail

I’m not really sure why I put this head. Too many colors, too much everything.

We have Band – You came out

Vitalic – See the Sea

And the last one is swiss made. It has been directed by my buddy Brillantine and his mates from DIY. Respect!

2 weeks ago, I wrote an post about webserie in french. You might want to check it out too. And stay tuned for the next post in the serie.
