I’ve recently become a huge fan of these guys and their audio visual jungle noise!
This entire animation was created with wooden blocks, no CGI at all. That’s pretty amazing if you ask me. If you loved the video check out the “making of” where the band gets interviewed about the creative process (subtitled).

Her voice is just ridiculous! Another great live video from Florence + The Machine. Don’t fall for the false ending, it keeps going!

We’re not quite sure just what the heck Lady GaGa is playing here, but it looks like she’s got a keytar slash bass slash MPC GaGatar in the Haus.
You can see Lady Gaga’s keytar thing in action in her video for Telephone & Dance in the Dark, below, unless it gets yanked by the YouTube police.
Check it out and let me know what you think of the GaGatar. And if you know anything more about it, leave a comment!

Her voice deviates quite a bit from the version on the album. None the less it’s a solid performance and just goes to show how authentic the performance is.

A great UK House Producer, D. Ramirez reviews a piece of Dave Smith gear in his studio in this video.
About the video:
“He asked us if he could send us a load of videos of him fiddling about with sexy new kit – and so here we are.
The first episode sees him get his hands on the new DSI Prophet 8 keyboard synth – especially interesting for those producers out there who have never seen an outboard synth working up close.”

Watch: Moon (Jones, 2009)
Read: Jenkins, Henry. “Searching for the Origami Unicorn.” Convergence Culture: Searching for the Origami Unicorn. New York: NYU Press, 2006. Print.
My second week’s film is a recent sci-fi film that borrows many elements from classic science fiction films such as 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). I felt it was a good example of a recent trans-media story that borrows from many different elements from science fiction movies. I also chose Moon (2009) because the film presents a simulated reality that only the film’s protagonist, Sam Bell, recognizes. Since Sam is the product of cloning it could be understood that this is a technology-created simulated reality. Without the cloning process there would be no need for an alternative, simulated reality. The reading that I assigned this week is mostly about the trend of films to extend across many non-cinema media. Henry Jenkins often writes about how films create worlds that can then be broken down and used by fans within fan culture or even borrowed by other filmmakers.
