One of the beautiful things about the internet is the opportunity for people with talent and free time to express themselves to a larger audience. This was one of my all-time favorite examples, a re-edit of a trailer for The Shining as a romantic comedy, complete with Peter Gabriel song:
Then, I got found this video thanks to a tweet from @qtiptheabstract, and it is apparently part of a series of videos where bands "shred," the live video equivalent of being "sweded" by a middle school jazz band blasted on ether. In light of Joaquin Phoenix's recent appearance on Letterman, I kind of thought this video of Mars Volta was a joke/meltdown until the wife told me it was most likely fake (yeah, I'm gullible, so what?):
So this guy Allergonoise is adding meticulously crafted soundtracks to these live videos. These aren't some slapped together noises over images that don't quite match up...I've now watched these things several times, and they are spot on. It's testimony to why the internet, as well as increased accessibility to production software is making the world a better place.
Here's Sigur Ros, in one of the best "shred" videos:
And, for comparison, here's the original Sigur Ros video:
