maybe videos and songs have been playing catch-up

new paradigm needed

no more of videos to acompany songs

videos should be short films in their own right

with music to match

like in the Olde Daze of Korngold et al

'cept shorter

much shorter

a new folk art, if you will

except instead of crappy instruments, its crappy video and crappy soundcards

There are gaps in the marketplace for tools that translate dance to art. The
work being done on Kinect may be one avenue of approach, using the
accelerometers inside and other sensors inside mobiles and pads another.

You could use the camera to detect shapes and colours and use them as a
theme with the chorography affected by the music and the movement of the
device. With speech input like Siri all sorts of things are possible.

I only just waking up to the realisation that there's a film school on my
doorstep

I'd be interested to hear about music videos anyone's seen recently that
they found particularly innovative

IMO adverts are one step ahead of music videos.

I'd love to know what soundcard/software was used

apropos

shows how flaccid pop videos are

I just watched some Afro pop

saw the identical dance video used for two different tracks

I can't tell which one is the 'real' one

but we've grown to accept such imprecision

Listening on my 'near field' monitors, something horribly expensive.

It's a touch 'over mastered' though.

The sound has been made 'glossy' to sound wonderful on a domestic sound
system.
