This a series of music videos all from the same album, "Scope", by Nobukazu Takemura that link together to form an experimental film. Corey Smith is the director.

"Scope" is 41 minutes long (the 5 songs are edited down from 60 minutes) and here's a quicktime download of 160 MB: ia300135.us.archive.org

Some info on the film is here: www.archive.org

The film is on the imdb, rate it please: www.imdb.com

Go into the film with patience, appreciation for minimalism and 41 minutes of silence and you'll be entranced. There's a storyline, too.

I-yaaaa! Hypnotic. I wish it was shot on super 8 though. -j

i'm only a third of the way through, but i really like this sort of conceptual stuff. it's like repeating a word over and over until it loses its meaning, so that then you can listen to it in new ways.

i'd suggest cross-posting it to shortsville, too.

Yeah, I like this stuff too. It must require patience in the editing room, too, huh? And a big budget for pink balloons ;)

I couldn't get into it. I got bored. :)

Loved the girl jumping and good ending (xmas tree was a little obvious though, sorry)

The more I watched the more I was reminded of some of Steina & Woody Vasulka's work I'd seen - especially the duckies and the jumping. fwiw: I'm by no means at all an expert on video art.

Have you sent this to Nobukazu?

thanks for these posts. i really like the film, though i've only watched a few minutes of it and skipped through the scenes.

kevathens, thanks for that great link. i'm all about the stuff on there. if i weren't so afraid of being shred into pieces i would post some of my thesis films because they are in the same vain (much less technical and less stimulating).

sound and visual nuance is inspiring and something i would like to pursue more in the future. please keep posting these types of things.
