I like her voice too, and I think there's potential here... For this one, I think they should have bumped up her levels - the instruments aren't doing much interesting - and generally I don't think this is a great song for her.

Less important, but much worse: the video is really bad, worse than the high school bands I see now. Just the band altogether playing in some rocks (shot from a few angles) during the day would have been fine. Generic, but fine. Or have a little story or something if you want, but if you do that you need to commit a bit. Or have her just kind of randomly walking in a cave, like 1/3 of 1980s videos. But what they got - her just kind of rocking like that, randomly interspersed with thunder, quick shots of someone else (with distracting transitions and time shift), and repeated "fade out" cliches - is distractingly bad.

Haha, at first I thought its some scale model in a time shift. But its real!

I think the camera angles, depth of field, view distance, background music, rate changes, mistakes, relatively low frame rate and especially the champagne ejaculation shot all made this quite mediocre in comparison to many of the slomo videos that are out there.

No, you have listed a bunch of neat stuff that could look cool in slow-motion. The point Yogi was trying to make is that the "art" portion of this video comes from unique camera angles, setup, different colors used (Primary), engaging background music, the switching of time-shifting, ect... were all carefully constructed to make this video intriguing. And that, my friend, is art.



I'm not sure why you quoted me on this comment, seeing as how we are discussing different subjects. I never said it was "good" art. Just done well enough to keep your attention. I agree, I've seen far better 'Slow-Mo' videos... I was simply just stating that this is in fact art (no matter how mediocre it is).

Maybe that's true, here i'll test myself. I counted 34 different slo mo things in this video (+/- 1-2 b/c im not watching that crap again), you'll have to trust me to be honest but let's see how long it takes me to come up with 35!!! different ideas, clock starting now!
1 pheobe cates getting out of a pool o shit that's already been done (clock still running)
1 throwing a card into a watermelon
2 breaking bottle with a rock
3 dropping a penny on a table and watching it bouce
4 shooting a grape with a shotgun @ close range
5 breaking a lightbulb by having a stampede of wild stallions run it over
6 unplugging a thumb drive
7 taking a bite of a sandwich with too much peanut butter on it
8 jumping...you know, up and down but then like I'd slow it down just before your feet left the ground then speed it up b/c im cool
9 taking a radiator out of a car
10 riping a leaf in half
11 guy getting frustrated trying to open a letter without a letter opener then finally he rips it open
12 making a mojito then me drinking it
13 man struggling not to look at a womans breasts as she bends over then he gets slapped in the face with a baloon filled with paint
14 woman farting in a bathtub
15 flipping a pancake
16 tuberculosis infecting the cells of a young person in a third world country
17 squeezing a lemon into a can of yellow paint
18 hitting a printer with a mallet b/c it doesnt work
19 washing a car in the automatic washer
20 frying bacon
21 changing faces on a mr potato head
22 dropping a rotten tomato a short distance and it doesnt splat
23 droping the same rotten tomato from a third story building
24 baseball bat hitting ball made of concrete
25 alligator snatching up it's baby giraffe dinner
26 tieing shoes
27 hitting a marshmellow with a stun gun and setting it on fire with electricity
28 throwing a knife
29 wiping my ass
30 tree parts going into a wood chipper
31 opening a fortune cookie
32 sneezing
33 getting punched by the dude you sneezed on
34 punching the guy back with the stink palm hand leftover from the ass wipe
35 flashback to the moment in the bathroom when i decided not to wash my hands
wow that was a bit longer than i thought it was going to be i'll have to admit
it ended up being 14:17 although most of that was probably due to typing time.
No worries, acc to you i just made some art.

No but I believe the set up and the ideas in some of these clips show a degree of creativity that could be considered "Art".

Live refers to the fact that the video was recorded while the impact occurred, rather than being reconstructed from stills or severely time-shifted as many such astronomical events often are. It's a heck of an impact.

yet another video that could greatly benefit from the addition of a little benny hill music

few time shifts wouldn't hurt either

Looks realy good but for me there are To manny artifacts from Time warping , im sure if u did it with a cuple more frames you could achive the same video and affect but without the glitch artifacts. also Would be good with music rather than the digetic sound track but its not like the sound dosent work

when it works its pritty cool though for example Works perfectly with panorama shots , where the time shift antilogarithm can realy perform without glitching so much.

I humbly disagree, the time-shifted music was great, imo. It made me laugh.

the haunting music of Radiohead + wonderful time shifted footage of London = http://www.videosift.com/video/London-s-South-Bank-set-to-Radiohead (with only 5 votes atm.)

Ah, so they're not falling through space... they are falling toward Earth as is the camera. Perhaps in a vacuum.
What I thought of immediately was the gravity of the sand particles themselves attracting each other, in the absence of any other force. Like, how planets form on a larger scale. But, nah, it looks like it's time-shifted and the attraction is happening way too fast for that.


They are not falling in a vacuum, but I understand now that the title may appear a bit misleading. Sorry about that.

I don't really see why it would have to be time shifted as I'm sure it *could* be done naturally. Moreover, just speeding up the recording would (obviously) change the pitch or result in audible distortions from the algorithm to maintain it. It could be played slower, recorded on the sequencer and then sped up separately and the playback mixed with the sped up video--but now we're at a point where it's just as well to fake the whole thing anyways.

I appreciate his message, but he hams it up WAY too much, and all of the quick editing is completely unnecessary and distracting.

Let's cut from a scene of a guy talking in front of a white background to a scene of the same guy talking in front of the same white background, only this time, shifted a half an inch to the left! It'll endear us to the MTV crowd!

Uh... no.

haha, RS. Well you are not as bad as blankfist. He can't tell a emo white kid from an asian. Just bc they stole asian mullet. You are correct, it is all of him. That's why its in the time shift channel.

At the risk of sounding awfully racist, I believe all of the other guys are him as well. Maybe it's just the poor quality of the video, but I swear they are the same guy put there through video magic.
