rss feedNew insights: When the many become one
Using the power of many to form a single art piece or story is growing in popularity for many practitioners of video.
When done right, as with this Vimeo video from Tom Lindsay, it works well. All the dice line up just right – which I know takes creativity and time – and the music is just the right tempo.
I’ve already seen examples involving dozens of people in front of computer monitors who join together to make a music video, 6,000 Post-it Notes that tell a video story and barcodes that form Bruce Lee’s face.
Lindsay is part of trim editing, which does commercial video work. I like the company’s Web site.
Oh, yes. The group in the dice video is Fujiya & Miyagi.
The dice-as-full-art-video technique would actually work well using a Mao poster, given the colors.
Keep in mind that I picked that example for the colors and image, not for the message.
