.after watching the Chairlift video via Lumen Eclipse, I had to look further into what this effect was about. The effect that the director Ray Tinori uses for this video is called Datamoshing... which we'll probably start seeing lots more of as the days go by. But in my search for how this is effect is done, I came across another video by Kanye West called "Welcome to heartbreak" (poor little fella). As someone who loves low fi video I was a bit taken back by Kanye West's use of datamoshing. How does Kanye relate to crappy video (as a teen I use to mix vcr to vcr while splicing in cds) when he's talking about how much money he's made in the song? These things do not apply and I can't relate nor do I understand. But Ray's use of datamoshing I feel applies well as his video seems more like a smearing of enjoyable moments rather then a millionaire trying to relate to the people.
But enough of this babble! To the future! To my discoveries!
Datamosh Artists;
I plan on using this effect in my next horror short......
Anyways, enjoy and happy datamoshing.

It's interesting to finally see this integrated into a video file as an effect. Seeing this in the past was always annoying, but I always wondered when someone would use it to their advantage.
Definitely a cool look from what I've seen of these. My only concern would be of maintaining one's originality using this effect. How will you truly stand out from the crowd after the wide use of such effects saturates the playing field. I felt this way about the interpolated rotoscoping effects used in A Scanner Darkly and others. They got old rather quickly for me.
