Vampire Weekend and Typography

Posted by: Ted | Comments (0)
Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

Although there are parts of this I think could be improved upon. The idea from June Harrild is just wonderful. I would love it if bands actually commissioned someone to do this to correspond with the song and the standard music video because I think it really helps bring clarity out of songs like Vampire Weekend’s typical stuff. Plus, it also more clearly lays out the specific lyrics for those of us who have a tendency to not realize they’ve been singing a song wrong for years (notice I did not fully admit anything there). Anyway, motion typography + Vampire Weekend = a good start to your Wednesday morning, am I right?

(Best sequence is from 2:40-2:45 in my opinion)

Best Wedding Invitation I’ve Ever Seen

I hope to tell you that if I ever do find the one, I’m convincing her that we need to do this. Creative. Awesome. Easily Accessible. Now the trouble is.. finding that girl. Anyway, you came here for my commentary on the video – not my (lack of) love life. I think setting the shots up as if they were pictures was what did it for me. Love the idea and hope to see more of this soon.

Motion Blur

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

I’m not sure whether or not all of the motion blur in this video was intentional or not, however it alone makes this video watchable. Surprisingly, the guy who made it (Rob Wilson) was in high school at the time which kind of adds to the innocence of the video (if you see this post Rob don’t take that comment as derogatory – it’s a positive thing). Love some of the bike shots along the sand near the water. Song was from Angus & Julia Stone and I figured this post might be an uplifting start to your week (for those of you who were off yesterday for Memorial Day like I was – hence the no posts from yesterday).

Be sure to check back later today for the next post – very neat idea for a wedding invitation.

Have a wonderful Tuesday!

Bunker Down

Friday, May 28th, 2010

This short film entitled Bunker from Paul Doucet is great for many reasons. One being that it’s French which means I’m not able to understand any of the speech but because of the mood created by the videography and other thematic elements I’m pretty positive I was able to discern what happens and am certainly able to distinguish the emotions I’m supposed to be feeling at various times. However, I would have posted this film if for nothing else but for the first two minutes. From a brilliant establishing shot of the pull back away from the phonograph to the isolation shot of the character sitting lying on the couch – it was excellent. Some solid sound mixing too!
Anyway, I’m really enjoying this two videos a day thing. I think on Friday’s though, I’m just going to post one and only put videos longer than 6 minutes up so that there can be a place for those. It would be bad news to put you guys through super long videos during the week so I’ll give you the weekend (every weekend) to check out Friday posts. I hope you’re enjoying this as much as I am – feel free to email me (ted@tedvid.com) stuff you’ve seen and would like to share and let people know about the blog!

The Sand Whale

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

This was a protest of some Japanese legislation and rulings that endangered whales. I’m not one to quickly jump on any type of animal rights groups bandwagons but I will if they all do awesome stuff like this (well except for PETA – they’re just ridiculous). Tilt Shift + Stop Motion + Giant whale sculpted from sand + traditionally dress Japanese peeps = Solid Entertainment. Video by Keith Loutit music by Headstrong.
