With the rise of Youtube and the ultra-connectedness of all forms
of media, there has been a big surge recently in fan made videos.
Arguably the first (and perhaps worst), was the infamous 'Numa Numa' video.
Fortunately, things have progressed enormously since then. Two
fan-video highlights from 2007 include Arcade Fire's 'My Body Is A
Cage' set to footage of Sergio Leone's 'Once Upon A Time In The West'
and the Health track 'Heaven' constructed from slices of Werner
Herzog's documentary 'The Great Ecstasy of the Woodcarver Steiner'.
In the same vein as "The Great Ecstasy of the Woodcarver Steiner" comes this mesmerising skateboarding/explosion intro to the film 'Fully Flared' featuring the M83 track 'Lower Your Eyelids To DIe With The Sun'.
In the spirit of fan-made video's one of The Coolhunter's favourite music blogs - www.saidthegramophone.com
- recently held a 'Wonderful Video Contest' for fan-made videos. We've
picked our favourites here - amazing fan made videos
for The Knife's 'Still Light' and Justice's 'Waters of Nazareth'.
Since then, this unofficial
clip for Justice's 'Phantom Part II' has turned up - an inventive
re-imagining of the jelly-wrestle.
