Hi

i'haven't made this video for money (art for art) so if your are interested by a visual adaptation of the Aphex Twin's work download it freely here :

FaceDancer...

Great video. Thanks for posting this link here. I'm sure many of our members will like this. I'm personally not familiar with that Aphex Twin music. Looks like I'm going to have to get it.

I assume you are from France based on the domain name of the site. Are you JC Mazzoni? There is no credit given to the director or producer. I figure it is you because of the email address on the last few frames.

Any how, glad to have you here.

oh.. right! Very Happy

i see! the video is great. Did you plan all the shots and stuff in advance?

in fact... yes a lot Smile

the most interesting is the double shooting. You shot the same action (exemple a man walking) twice but one with a good focus and the other one out focus (a blurry image, i don't know if you say that in english)

when you mix up the two images with a little delay, you optain a strange and interesting delay aura auround the actor.

i don't know if it's realy clear Smile

speak technic in english it's more difficult than i tought

excellent

I'm not into video making (music is more than enough for me) but I appreciate your technical skills that I wish I had at something like that.
Music by itself is a dying art but applied to images can survive Exclamation

Music a Dying Art ?

Music is my principal inspiration, without music i couldn't make a movie...

Thanks for a your comment.

Hey, if you are looking for some music to imortalize with a video, I'm sure there are many of us who'd be thrilled by that. Maybe people can post links to mp3s and submit them to you. If you're up to make a file inspired by one of the pieces, then you decide. There would of course be no obligation. I don't want to start up something you aren't interested in doing, so please don't feel compelled to do this.

lol

why not (next time i will think twice before saying a thing like that)

serioulsy it's interesting. I very busy for the moment, until the end of september, i finish a important short movie. But i'm allways open for underground music. So if you want send me your music i will listen it with great attention and interest (like i sayed music is my first inspiration).

i'have decided to make a experimental video per month, so it could be cool to work with musician all over the world (for the moment i work with my friend who are underground french rock funk electro musician)

it's up to you
