BlackChampagne -- no longer new; improvement also in question.: With Jaw Agape...

With Jaw Agape...


Saw this on Balloon Juice while still groggy from a heat-driven afternoon nap, and watched most of it with my mouth hanging open in amazement. Highly recommend watching when you've got 5 minutes to spare and want to see something amazing.


MUTO a wall-painted animation by BLU from blu on Vimeo.
It's a cartoon, but one painted on the walls and sometimes sidewalks of a busy city. It's basically graffiti, but while doing it they painted hundreds (thousands?) of images, and took endless still photos, then pasted them all together into this movie. Just the animation would be worth watching, since it's very creative and bizarre, but the way it's presented is what makes it amazing. The images, of stylized humans, weird bug things, and much more, are constantly moving and the camera follows as they crawl around the sides of walls, ducking under windows, tear loose weeds or papers, etc.

If this is the sort of thing people see when they're on real drugs, I'll stick to vodka! Kthx.

The video is both amazing and bizarre. For some reason, though, I find myself thinking that the strangest part of it is that there are pieces of trash laying on the ground untouched for what must have been hours of still photos. People are walking by, it's obviously not in some abandoned industrial park, one would hope that someone would have the common decency to pick up the larger pieces of litter. Of course the condition of the walls prior to this animation does illustrate that wherever this is, there isn't a great deal of pride taken in keeping the area pristine.
