In the past couple of days, I have run across a couple of amusing videos. Actually, they are both very simple in their video concepts and how they convey their ideas.
The first one is by Dearborn, Michigan’s The Hangabouts. I rarely find Christmas songs—or videos, even worth talking about. But the band—without even appearing in the video, use scrabble tiles to simply demonstrate ideas that may be complex in nature. The whole of the song is a nice deviation from the bombastic audio assault that radio listeners are met with this time of the year!
The second video, tackles something that I thought may have been impossible to make a video about—classical music. I am selecting what I think may be the greatest piece of music ever written! EVER! [GSER] This would be Ludwig Van Beethoven’s “Ninth Symphony, Second Movement, Molto Vivace” by Philharmonia Baroque with Nicholas McGegan conducting. I am not commenting on the technical quality of the recording. What I am fascinated with is the scrolling bar graph that contains so much information on the instruments. To me, it’s the equivalent of movable liner notes!
