While I realize the style of this video may be seizure-inducing for some people, S.I.T.E compresses some of humanity's worst alien, dystopian fears into five minutes or less. Creepy, cool, and captivating: give this video a chance beyond the first couple of minutes and allow things to come together. I'm half convinced I'll be subliminally craving Hot Pockets sometime this evening.
If you search for "kinetic type" on Vimeo or YouTube, you'll essentially find video with animated text. They vary in quality from flat and simple, to those like this one. Above and beyond the fact I'm a Rage Against the Machine fan, this is an incredible video that could easily stand in it's own right as an official music video. The power of words compels me!
I don't know what could attract me to a 3.5 minute video with this as the narrative: "As his planet boils in the glow of a cascading Tesseract a young femto-panda makes a brave attempt to warn the galaxy..."
This is so cool that I had to share. You may have a seizure somewhere between 1:00 and 1:30, but once you shake off the colour strobe, the experience is worth it.
A starkly beautiful and tragic animated short that screams Kafka and Orwell, while being beautifully punctuated by a lonely piano. Maybe not 2.5 minutes that will rev up your engines for the work week, but certainly a meditation that may cause some reflection if you're attached to desk amidst cubicle walls.
Okay, this freaks me out. I know there's something to be said for recycling old cargo containers for a new purpose. I know there's probably a benefit to many people who would be living in even more squalor. There's certainly something to finding a utilitarian planning solution to homelessness.
And all that said, I really have a problem equating humans with cargo.
