No don't worry, the title has nothing to do with my last post. Have you ever surfed around the internet listening to music, when you started browsing videos on YouTube only to find concord between the music and the audio track to a video? Yes? Excellent, because you won't find that here! Instead you'll witness what happens when you take some Scatman John, a recorder played via the nose, a bunch of other random videos, and stick them altogether under the supervision of a bottle of vodka.
This might not be high art but it is mashtastic! Lots of goodies included for your pleasure in the video, so its well worth a watch even just once. And if all that doesn't jingle your trouser bell, enjoy this Scatman John album cover I doctored.

I'm not quite sure what part of that video was strangest.
ReplyDeleteThe cat in it does look like the one that is sitting on my lap though.
The cat scene was originally much longer, but I felt it was overly cruel (both in sound and vision) so I kept it short. It's taken from a Lovecraft/Gordon/Combs movie actually, "Castle Freak".
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of "mashed up scat"...
ReplyDeleteSometimes I open weird pornos in VLC and skip around in the file. Depending on which codec the file was encoded with, you get weird video effects where the old image sort of blends in with the new position of the stream. I call it glitch porn, and I think it's a cool idea in that it can fool the eye, but still give a hint that something is "wrong"...
Here are a few samples: http://62.212.66.69/~nitro2k01/images/glitchscat/
(these are not too explicit ones)
Do you call it glitch-scat or glitch-porn? Or is glitch-porn a sub-genre of glitch-scat? :)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I like that effect too. Moving objects in a still shot provide very interesting results, like a person walking out of frame. I'd love to know how to achieve the effect on demand. I always assumed its a problem with the indexing between the A and B video streams.
