Okay, keep playing through the first few seconds of over dramatised musical and the actual video begins. This video is actually an entry for the 2011 Windy City 72 hour film competition. If that means they only had 72 hours to put it together – it’s very good. They had extra requirements; they had to […]
Doctor Who and the Wibbly Capella
All credit to Dan Rider for this impressive capella. By all credit I am, of course, not including the homemade fez. Although fezzes are cool I couldn’t put help his was a roll of paper. This is the wibbly capella as it starts off all timey-wimey. In fact, aren’t all solo capellas a little bit […]
Super impressive Marimba Legend of Zelda
Imagine you had a video camera and at least two friends who were as talented as you are on the marimba. I know! Crazy stuff! … but what would you do? Would you perform and record one of the most sophisticated Legend of Zelda covers known to YouTube? Perhaps. Perhaps!
Song for Ulvaak
The song for Ulaavk by Allie Goertz is an original melody and a song for Dungeons and Drgaons. The lyrics are by Patton Oswalt and for a D&D character he played. I think we’ve all had characters that we feel artistic about – I can only imagine how could it would be for someone like […]
The struggles and adventures of Doctor Who pop music
There have been times when UK pop culture has met Doctor Who. It’s not always been all that great. In 1988 The Timelords had a hit called “Doctorin’ The Tardis” that made it to number one. These are the same two people – Jimmy Cauty and Bill Drummond – who were behind the Justified Ancients […]
Pokemon capella
Nope, “Capella” isn’t a new type of Pokemon. It’s a singing style that’s been taken over by geek natives on YouTube. In this case we’re talking about Matt Mulholland and if you want to catch them all you also need to check out The Matrix Lobby scene as a capella. I’d say it remains his […]
Get On It – Mister Who
Mister Who is an animated comic and ambitious franchise from London. It’s the sort of comic that’s drawn with more streetwise than most of the fictional heroes could aspire to and yet the production team busys themselves with school outreach projects. This YouTube is a Mister Who music video for “Get On It” which features […]
D&D song: Tonight
This is a rather fetching song. It has charisma. It’s cute. It’s about D&D. Our singer songwriter is an actual D&D player who writes that she’s used the game to detach herself from aspects of real life. I think escapism is a healthy reason to roll the die. I also think this song needs a […]
250 Canon DSLRS, Flash Units and androp equal impressive music video
I wasn’t aware of the Japanese band androp before today. Now I’m impressed. I liked their music, but this post is about their music video. The band’s creative team came up with the idea of using real cameras, some 250 Canon 60D DSLRs along with their flash unites to create the effects for a video. […]
Batman: The Animated Series as a metal mashup
I’m not sure where to start on this one! Let’s start with the rather awesome music from Batman: the animated series. Let’s turn that into some geeky and slightly cheesy metal with plenty of power. Okay. Let’s combine that with some computer game inspired music video madness. Let’s make sure the band, Powerglove, play along […]
