Nice little scratch animation (or is that animation with scratches?)

Yeah I know we post ‘news’ related stuff like once every blue moon these days, but this popped in the inbox this morning and both Trick and I reckon it’s well worth your time and attention too.

It’s an animation done with Photoshop’s Speed Painting (which I’d never heard of) and soundtracked by beats from Amon Tobin and cuts from an Italian guy called DJ Jack. Youtube link is below, information goes a little something like this for those who don’t speak Italian:

A music videoclip with scratches by DJ Jack and animation by Alice.
Certain dreams are born in the summer when time slows down and it’s hot outside. Sometimes dreams are collected together in a unique story. This is a rapsody, in one movement. It brings together melodies from Amon Tobin with improvised tone scratches and an animation created with the soundtrack.

A woman who couldn’t sleep didn’t sleep but dreamt of dreaming.

The video was put together using the Speed Painting technique in Photoshop and is based on a series of photographic ideas.

It’s an homage to the great photographers.

Thanks to Jack for sending it in. Apologies for my sligthly sloppy translation, anyone got anything better post in the comments!
