VIDEO WATCH: ASCII DISKO’s “Einfach”
Ask any film student what their favorite music video is and I’ll bet a good percentage will say “Star Guitar.” Directed by Michel Gondry, the video features a single continuous shot seen from a train window. The disposition of each passing element of the landscape is positioned in sync with the music. The effect is pretty subtle but once you realize what’s going the video blows your mind.
“Star Guitar” features a bunch of CGI and I don’t really think I could make something like that. Nevertheless, I really like videos that actually create a relationship between the rhythm of the music and images themselves. That’s why this ASCII Disko video, “Einfach,” is so cool. I could totally film myself smashing up an organ.
Watch the video (Quicktime).
