Prelinger Archives - 6,636 films perfect for sampling

5/8/2016

Very interesting collection of films that can be used freely and even commercially!
It is all kind of odd things and also perfect for music videos and of course there is a lot of great samples to be found. Really recommendable to go and take a look. The danger is that hours will be lost as there is a lot and all more or less exciting...

SunVox plus Paper Camera

These videos where something that I did a long time ago and always thought that with a little bit of work the same idea can be polished a little bit and so have a simple music video made.
The sound is directly from speakers into microphone on the telephone so it sounds like
caca-culo but the idea is the important thing in either case.
As SunVox is scalable both the screen and the modules in it, it is possible to get a close up of the animations in them. (Plus that one may choose different types of animation in the modules.)
Then filmed using the application Paper Camera and different filters.
So it is filmed directly from the screen which adds its own distortions and interest. Which for me is more interesting as it adds more grit and imperfection instead of making something in a computer.
Paper camera only renders its videos into Webm format so if a need arise to edit something together it is necessary to find a video converter as there seems to be hardly no video editors that allows for that format. But there is some converters to be found for free on the interwebs.
