Robot Rock du Jour: LCD Soundsystem - Someone Great (2007)

So, I pretty much avoid big time acts and there are very few "modern" bands that make what I deem to be exceptionally rad music. LCD Soundsystem, however, is the king + queen of them all. I created this stop-motion video as part of my graduate program thesis work. 100 hours of wood cutting and photographing. If you dig it, peep my process photos.

This stop motion animation film uses a very old technique called Strata Cut, but applied to wood. Each frame represents a 1/24" cut, 1,200 cuts in all. Created for Stanford's ARTSTUDIO 167 class taught by John Edmark. Scored to LCD Soundsystem's "Someone Great" as a thank you to the band for writing such wonderful music.
