We Got Time

Maybe it's too early to show you another video but I was blown away by the Moray McLaren video of "We Got Time".

It's all about the "back to basics", the techinque David Wilson masters it's so great and he takes it to another level. The blending of the music with the visuals, help the story telling really well and it seems the visuals take over the song but at the end its a perfect blend of art. I really love pre-cinema optical toys - kinetoscopes, zoetropes, magic lanterns, and the praxinoscopes (featured on the video).

Everything was made in camera, believe it or not. Please watch in on HD, and I'll leave the making of video too. (go to the youtube link beacuse is on wide screen and you might been missing the right side of the frame)

Visual Again

I haven't post any motion graphics in a while, but today I found something worth posting.

Masa Nakamura is a multidisciplinary designer and animator who doesn’t pigeon hole himself into a single approach to solving his creative problems. Whether it be traditional 2d graphics, stop motion puppetry or painting on glass, Masa is willing to explore any medium necessary to get his message across.

This piece was created by Masayoshi Nakamura and Magico Nakamura created for the Adobe Records video competition. Great way of combining different technics, to entertain and show something beautiful. Watch it on HD if you can.




And as a double gift I'm going to leave you with a great old tune from 1976 by the great Boney M. a track that will make you dream as an 8 mm film.

Ma Baker - Boney M.

Some Easter Goodies!

Hey! I know theneonrider crew has not been around and we are truly sorry for that, we've been really busy but to make it up to you here are some easter presents. DFA, one of the most influencial labels around right now and of course one of our favorites, has given use acts that we won't forget or that has been our favorites for some years now, but they also have new talents that are not that mainstream and that only gem finders are aware of their existence. This is why TNR is giving you some of this new names for you to go and buy all their records.

Im not going to go all biographical on you because we know that you have the idea of what DFA is all about, so I'll just mention that some of these releases are brand new and others from last year, in case you don't know any of them all are guaranteed as gems. Also some of them were released on Death from Abroad the european extension for DFA and others with a collaboration with Rong Music. Great acts such as Rub n' Tug, Prins Thomas, Barfly, Emperor Machine, and others put their hands on some of these releases but you would only get them at full quality if you buy them, so after you listen to this tunes go to your favorite online or physical store and spend those benjamins, euros, pounds or whatever your currency is. Support the artists!
