This track is from Nigel Stanford’s Solar Echoes. All the experiments you see in it are real. You get to see how sound interacts with items in a bunch of interesting ways. Also; fire.
Portal version: Dumb Ways to Die
If you’ve seen the original Dumb Ways to Die then you’ll recognise the song. You don’t need to have the award winning safety video that was ultimately trying to persuade people not to be stupid around trains to enjoy this remake. You just need to like Portal. At the time of writing nearly 2,500,000 people […]
Player Piano conjure up the Ghost Waltz
I really enjoyed Player Piano’s take on the Akira theme. I watched the video more than once and urge you to do the same. Now they’re back with something spooky for Halloween. Fans should head over to Player Piano on Facebook and follow. The pianist is Sonya Belousova but I think there should be an […]
When the Eclectic Method remixed Ghostbusters
The Ghostbusters turned 30 this year. It’s Halloween. Eclectic Method saw a chance to hit two bats with one pumpkin and released this remix. Expect a thorough remake of the classic, Zuul, the coming of Gozer and the Stay Puft Marshmallow man.
Best of the best: Game of Thrones western cover
There’s been loads of covers of the iconic Game of Thrones opening tune and you’ll find the best here on Geek Native. This particular one from BenDan Productions is my favourite. I call it best of the best. What did you think? Granted; if you hate Westerns and all that they stand for (Firefly) then […]
Is Pharrell Williams’ anime It Girl too young?
A big artist doing an anime music video? Geek Native will be interested. There’s a twist in this one though – the central character in this video seems especially young. Things to think about; is this just the style of the anime or is she younger than the others and just what is the relationship […]
50 years of Batman in music with 3 awesome cars
This video has been out for less than a week. It’s racing towards 2,000,000 YouTube views and there’s a reason why. Watch it to find out. The Piano Guys always pull the stops out to make impressive YouTube videos. I wonder how much they’ve paid to get access to these three Batmobiles. Which is your […]
Scoobythulhu, no really
It’s a Cthulhu mystery for a bunch of hippies and their dog to solve. Wait, what? Mikey Mason’s describes this mashup as “A bit of fun with an older song”. I think it’s a bit more effort than just a bit of fun. Filed under comedy but it might mess up a few memories.
Ocarina of Time: Kokiri Forest on violin
Taylor Davis’ wonderful work on the violin brings the Kokiri Forest theme to life. There’s some simple but hugely effect special effects that give this music video that a host of extra geek points. You can download the song from various sites, including iTunes, or buy physical albums too. Pop over to her YouTube channel […]
Game of Thrones done North by Northwest style
Saul Bass was an American designer who worked for Alfred Hitchcock. He invented a new type of kinetic typography and put it to work on title sequences for moves like North by Northwest, Vertigo and Psycho. Skip ahead to more recent times and you’ll see sequences inspired by his style in the likes of Catch […]
