Anyone Remember Weezer? + more innovative videos
They did that wicked video with Chachi from the Happy Days years ago. Well, they’ve pulled together all the greatest virals of the last few years and made a video. It’s on 4m views itself right now. Wonderful.
While on the subject of innovative videos, here’s one from Manchester band The Get Out Clause who performed their video in front of CCTV cameras around the city. They then wrote to the people responsible for the cameras for a copy under the Freedom of Information Act. Apparently they did it this way because they they couldn’t afford a camera. It’s amazing how creative you can become when you’re on the dole.
Ok, so if we’re going to talk about innovation, let’s talk about RATATAT. The tune is on repeat on my headphones and the video is an absolute delight.
Oh, what’s that? You say you want more innovation. Ok, this has nothing to do with bands and stuff but the execution on this one is ace plus the soundtrack is killer.
You want more? What!? Haven’t you got work to do? Ok, check this one out, it’s a demonstration at TED by Microsoft of their completely ridiculous technology that allows you to mash together thousands of photographs together into a 3d view while being completely lightweight. No doubt they wont ever release it because it is simply far too cool for normal people.
I’m not going to link to the video of Kobe Bryant jumping over a pool of snakes because it’s just plain stupid. Get back to work you.
