Dope Music Video by ApSci — “Under Control”
I first heard about ApSci1 through my brother Glen recently. Then dug in to take a look on their site for some tunes, http://apsci.net.
Lo and behold, they’ve been featured on Wired.com’s Underwire section just recently. The article was about their music video for “Under Control”.
The dope part is that it was produced using an “iPhone, a portable printer and a webcam.”
They performed the track in front of the webcam and printed it up into the handheld snapshots that fly by in the globe-hopping video, which hopscotches from Brooklyn to the Grand Canyon, Vegas, Hawaii and Australia at the speed of sound. They took additional shots using the iPhone, then mashed the production nightmare into an eye-tripping visual for their body-rocking song.
In other words, ApSci’s video has no video in it. No post-production either.
Very, very schneaky and creative I must say. Well done. Here’s the video.

Ocean’s 7
Just in case you haven’t heard of JD’s group Ocean’s 71, they have a couple of music videos up.
- Jermaine Dupri wrangled his guys Tyrone Davis (JD’s personal assistant), Usher, Johnta Austin, Bryan-Michael Cox, Nelly and Trey Songz to comprise a clique of distinguished gentlemen called Ocean’s 7. [↩]
RIP David Carradine
C’était un Rendezvous
I almost forgot about this short film. Pretty cool one-take flick.1 Crazy driving skills for sure. I guess its true to the concept that “90% of life is just showing up.“2
- It seems that this type of film technique is an example of cinéma-vérité.
Cinéma vérité is a style of documentary filmmaking, combining naturalistic techniques with stylized cinematic devices of editing and camerawork, staged set-ups, and the use of the camera to provoke subjects.
