Insanely labor-intensive Gangnam Style flipbook animation video
An incredibly labor-intensive animated flipbook version of PSY's "Gangnam Style." Such a bummer that Etoilec1, the talented creator of this stunning video, was sound-blocked by YouTube's automated IP enforcement police. Etoilec1's original video is here (and below), in higher rez, but it's stripped of sound. Subscribe to his channel or follow him on Facebook, for more flipbook fun. Above, a lower-rez copycat upload on Vimeo. (Thanks, Joe Sabia!)
Explore musical variations amid floating 3D islands
YUME is a simple musical experience where the songs change as you explore 3D floating islands—just click and drag them to move around. It’s restful, easy to get lost, and the evolving tracks are great. The musician is Helios (AKA Keith Kenniff) and his albums are available for download at Bandcamp. [via]

Watch Hervé "Tattoo" Villechaize sing "Why?" (1981)
Hervé Villechaize, who most famously played Tattoo on TV’s “Fantasy Island,” sings his song “Why?” on TV in 1981. The bizarre video effects are from the original clip. (The uploader dubbed the audio from his 7″ vinyl record of the song.) And just for posterity, here’s a poorer-quality copy of the video with the original […]

Wow. Just wow.
My thoughts exactly.
My thumb’s sympathetically cramping up.
Pretty cool! It’d be another massive undertaking but he should really consider photographing each frame and assembling it into an animated video. I doubt any of the charm would be lost and it’d allow his talent to really shine through. Nice find, Xeni!
Part of the Just Wow is the fact that he displayed it in perfect sync by flipping it with his thumb.
pffft. Gangnam Style is soooo 2012. the artist should have drawn faster to have been in time for the fad.
Technically this was the first Gangnam style remix. It just took the most time to accomplish.
Reminds me of the Fast Show just a tiny amount
Wow. Etoilec1 wins the Intarwebz.
wow
It’s always awe-inspiring to see humans who have large brain areas that are so much better developed than my own. The human motion on this is particularly impressive.
I don’t think this is, but another fun project would be to get some flipbooks and ‘greenscreen’ them with a known pattern and then use a computer to process an existing video (linedrawing filters, etc.) and do the mapping onto the pages.
Yeesh. Though such a project would have its virtues, all I can imagine are its vices: a whole new generation of this.
