Papercraft stop motion animated video for the band Ödland (1 video)

This is another great stop-motion animation by directed by Vincent Pianina and Lorenzo Papace.  It is actually a music video for the song Østersøen by Papace’s band called Ödland. I love the antiquated look the video is able to pull off, and it fits well with the style of recording used for the song.  It seems that music videos increasingly tend to distract from the music they’re accompanying, so it’s nice to see a band...

A cappella Star Wars theme song (1 video)

A cappella Star Wars theme song (1 video)

I love these multi-track a cappella songs floating around the internet, and this one might be the most impressive I’ve ever seen.  Basically, this gentleman sings each instrumental part of the song, then layers them together digitally.

Video Puzzle – We Are Young acoustic cover made with four iPhones (1 video)

First off, let me apologize for that atrocious post title.  I couldn’t figure out how to appropriately explain the video, and I gave up trying to reword it. Second, let me say that this music video by MysteryGuitarMan is ridiculously impressive.  Ridiculously impressive.  He claims that this is take #238 – and I fully believe it. Basically, it is a music video for his acoustic cover of the song We Are Young, done as a video /...

How Fender’s Stratocaster guitars are made (1 video)

How Fender’s Stratocaster guitars are made (1 video)

Though I myself am not much of a musician, this video provides a pretty fascinating look into how one of the most popular guitars in the world is made – Fender’s Stratocaster. I won’t lie, being 2012 and all, I fully expected to see wood and metal whizzing through a bunch of over-engineered machines, lasers cutting outlines, spray-paint robots blasting the bodies of the guitars with blasts of lacquer, etc.  But it’s...
