Featuring vinyl animations from Red Raven Records, Sculpture, Bonobo, Marcel Duchamp, Dreamend, Graveface Records, Shogun Kunitoki, Kate Bush, Bombay Bicycle Club and The Octopus Project
amazing stuff! I've never seen anything like this. The only one I have to play with is the Bombay Bicycle Club, but I had no idea that cover was animated. It's always an education watching your videos, there are none others like them in the Vinyl Community. This one could have been an hour and I would have watched the entire thing! Terrific stuff, brilliant. Bravo!
Thanks, man! Yeah, this is some of the most unusual and cool things to look at. The next video might seem lame in comparison, but it's still all cool stuff
I'll take any compliment from THE MAN. Thanks, indeed. I hope to get the second part done before Thanksgiving. Just so busy with life, etc. The videos are fun to make. If only I had more time...
Wow, I didn't know animated vinyls were common. I actually do have one in my two-week old hobby, though! SBTRKT's Wonder Where We Land album! The deluxe version comes with a picture disc as well as a zoetrope for viewing. Anywho, I'm loving these videos. Really, really cool stuff!
Very cool to see all these animations! How did you capture the animation of the last one (the ones on the strips)? Did you move the paper from left to right, taking a photo every time to make a stopmotion out of them? Thanks!
I like the video so much! thank you for inspiration! Anyway, I have one question, is the animated records of the recent band you presented are showing the animation by simply spinning them or is it by fliming with stop motion. It is confusing a bit because some of the records you presented were Zeotropes and as I understood, those are showing the animation only by reflecting them in the mirror or stop motion.
Amazing vid! So, it is possible for the images to animate without a magic mirror or zoetrope? do you think it's possible for an lp label to animate on its own at 33 rpm? This is the only information I could find on this subject, very awesome!
8:06 If you plan on coming back to this, I'll have you know that They Might Be Giants did a similar thing for the 30th anniversary edition of their Flood album.
What an awesome video! I have to wonder though, do you have to have a strobe to see the effects of these animated records? And where do you find these cool gems? I look for most of the cool stuff you feature in your videos on Ebay and have found a few, but a vast majority of what you feature I cant even find any acknowledgement of their existence. I am an avid vinyl collector and would love to have even just half the things you have. But I don't know where to find out about such stuff anywhere but in your videos and then it seems to be too late to get many of them.
+Jeff McDonald - you have to do that, or view it through your phone, or film it. Yes, otherwise it just spins. Also, yes, if you can't find they when they are released, they are often too hard to find, later. Do you use Discogs?
+GOZER'S DEN I actually just recently stumbled upon that site. I don't know much about it, but am aware of it's existence. Do they give you good heads-up on upcoming releases?
+chadergeist yeah, depending on the disc, there's a bit of camera work going on here. Most of the best ones are filmed at 24fps. A couple are essentially stop motion. A strobe would help, but most can't be seen well with the naked eye without some kind of assist
How did you actually film it? I apparently also have such a record, but it is not possible to film the motion. When trying to playback it, it only becomes a blurr...
So to me the most interesting visual of all was the one the narrator said was not very interesting because it was "just black and white" and "not a very interesting composition" at 9:16. I thought it the most clearly defined for lacking color and the most coherent composition that ties together its components the best of any of them
sorry I didn't respond to this when you posted it. Life got in the way. Yeah, some of these are pricey now, but usually I would pick up things at cost when they were released, so it wasn't so bad. I'm considering making some new videos, but focused on particular labels
