Found on Youtube, this found footage short was realised by Jose Luzano while he was a student at U.T.
Made with a dozen 16mm films he bought and edited to accompany the narration of a suicide letter. The voice deals with memories fabrication, time impressions..
Music by Aphex Twin
Made with found footage and a particularly striking type of editing, part cut-up and part free association, this was the first short film of Canadian experimental filmmaker Arthur Lipsett.
It started as a soundtrack he assembled from various sources and the images only came when some of his friends suggested he added picture to the sound. This kind of reverse engineering gives the short most of its edge.
Kubrick, who described the short as “one of the most imaginative and brilliant uses of the movie screen and soundtrack that I have ever seen” asked Lipsett to edit the trailer for Dr. Strangelove. Pablo Ferro ended up doing it when he refused but his influence can still be felt in the final result.
There’s an impressive shot-for-shot remake of Spike Jonze‘s video for Sabotage by the Beastie Boys out on youtube these days. Even more impressive is the following side-by-side comparison. Let’s take three minutes together to acknolewdge the fact that some people have way too much time on their hands (and grab every other excuse to listen to that song again)
