‘Gallop’ video by Psilodump
Nov 18th, 2008 by Psilodump
So last Sunday, I made this tune, right, which initially was just a sketch I was playing around with. I didn’t really know if the track was a good enough one to bother start making a real arrangement of, so in order to see how it would sort of eventually sound like, and to get more familiar with it, I did a preview mixdown and some mastering to it.
While I was listening to it on repeat over and over again, Matophonia and I were fooling around with emoticons, on Live Messenger. We ended up with Mato doing this hilarious combination of emoticons, where one (which I created) contained Matophonia with a horse mask, one (which Mato created) a soldier pouring a cup of STFU on his own face, together with these waving smiley-arms and two pairs of some creatures legs, galloping.
Now, I was still listening to my preview-track and all the sudden it strook me how perfectly (in a bizarre way) it fitted together with the emoticon-constellation, which inspired me to capture the moment and make a video out of the whole mess.
Starting out with just a black background with the creature just running forth, from the distance, past the screen, I started adding more and more elements, utilizing sonogram readings from some of the elements from the music and such. The result was… something pretty fancy, yet fairly weird, as you may see for yourself xD



WHOT! Den galopperanden detektiven :’D!!!
