….using As Seen On TV players…I’m strangely drawn to it….
…then this should do the trick. Big thanks to Stephen Chow who introduced me to the artist Blu a while back. And thanks to Jeff for sending me Blu’s latest stop-motion video.
Besides the art and the use of the environmental space, I love the sound design. It’s been such a long-time (relatively) convention to use music as a backdrop that I’ve kind of forgotten that well crafted sounds can fill that space just as compelling-ly. (I have two certificates from two different higher institutions of learning that qualify me to wordsmith my own words. So back off.) I especially dig the texturized tone that is used behind the more foreground sounds.
And by “more” I mean it took this guy 1500 hours to create this out of legos. If you divide that by 8 hours a day – I think that’s more than 6 months. WTF? I’m glad some people have figured out how to have the time to do this kind of stuff.
Though the idea isn’t super-new, I love how it starts and the camera angles they used. That said, I highly, highly recommend turning the sound off. Unless you like hanging out at discos in Bucharest. I’ve been there. I know what I’m talking about.
