Okay, I know its been a getting a little longer between posts, but that doesn't mean that cool artsy-related stuff has stopped happening. In fact, a whole lot of it has been piling up on my list of Cool Crap to Write About (yes, that's the actual name of my list).One of the top "discoveries" I made this past week has been the extraordinarily exceptional motion graphic work of a group called Fluorescent Hill. From commercials to music videos, this Montreal-based studio has a broad range of visual panache that covers everything from funky underground (Taking Back Sunday's 12 Days of Christmas) to tech geek sheek (see above).
Primarily the collaboration of Mark Lomond and Johanne Ste-Marie, Fluorescent Hill's latest offering from the NASA project, Kool Keith and Tom Waits. Hold up, wait a minute, yes. I just said Kool Keith and Tom Waits in the same sentence, commencing Universal Implosion Plan B. All jokes aside, the end result is both visually entertaining and harmoniously stunning music video that includes the "anthropomorphization of Tom Waits' voice" which, suffice to say, is pretty damn neat to watch.
For more information on the making of the video, check out BoingBoing's interview with the duo.
I love this song/video
