Kentrage video and others

William Kentrage - ive actually seen this before. the best part of the video, to me, is when the man is breathing. its so subtle u really need to be looking for it in order to see it. His animations are fantastic, although i dont understand them.
the music videos for the white stripes were very cool. the lego one was my favorite (having played with many legos).
and Jan Svankmajer's video "dimensions of dialogue" was soo weird. those clay faces just creeped me out. even though it was veery cool that that animation was done in clay and using such life-like sculpture. it must have taken a long time and took lots of effort to do. very impressive.
I've seen the Quay brothers before. their films always weird me out. but they're so complex. there is so much going on in the film and they technical aspects are mind blowing. everything is so smooth and the way they use light in the film is amazing. the light is smooth when it flickers or dims. they must have increased the light so slowly when they took the shots for the film. also the strings running are very technically impressive.
