A creative use of video and a lot of spare time

So a funny video uploaded to YouTube goes viral and then some cre­ative folks set the clip to music and it becomes a mashed up auto-tune dance song that itself goes viral. Then other cre­ative peo­ple take that clip and orches­trate it for choir and per­form it as an audio/video quilt which is going viral.

The inter­net is the best-thing-ever and/or the biggest time suck since the Roman baths. Either way, this is seri­ously cre­ative. Each of the indi­vid­ual singer’s videos is com­pelling in and of them­selves, but together it’s magic.

A Beatnik Inspired Video About Paul Rand

While purs­ing the deep (and not so deep) waters of You Tube, I found this great video about Paul Rand. I dig the beat­nik inspired sen­si­bil­i­ties, daddy-o. More impor­tantly, the wis­dom of Paul Rand imparts in the video about graphic design, com­mu­ni­ca­tion and art is worth any designer’s attention.
