I was going through music on YouTube and found one of my (very few) favorite music videos. It's directed by Peter Sluszka,a native New Yorker and Alumni at Columbia University. Some of you are probably familiar with the music artist Regina Spektor and her song Samson. It is absolutely beautiful and compelling. A perfect combination between audio and visuals, creating a piece that is something all together better than the run of the mill music videos one usually sees. I certainly see it as a piece of artistic work on both ends.
Another beautiful video with equally beautiful audio is one I only just discovered. It is a collaboration between musical artists Lior and Sia (I was unfamiliar with Lior, but a fan of Sia's). It is called I'll Forget You, and displays exquisite puppetry. It makes me almost want to altogether change my approach to my project on Vasilisa and work simply with shadows boxes as before, and silhouette. It has certainly introduced new mediums to add to my work.
The video was also a collaboration between Stephen Mushin and Stories From the Ground' Puppetry, and Natasha Pincus, an award winning director. Beautiful aren't they?

ReplyDeleteBoth beautiful videos. One of my favorites is Running up that Hill by Kate Bush (not the remake by Placebo). It doesn't have NEAR the visuals of the ones you have, but between the music and the visuals used, something about the video just speaks to me.
