Sufjan Stevens - Year of the Dog

[Zombwaffie]

This song is tripping me out.

[reapercussions]

I'm curious -- what is the name of the film the clips featuring the guy with the glasses comes from?

[thesillyfatkid]

@reapercussions where in the video exactly? one segment with a man with glasses is from a They Might Be Giants music video from Ana Ng. the other is from an old Public Domain Movie from Germany. It was a German Surrealist film i believe. Honestly it was all in German, and only certain small sample clips were available to me. Hope that helps! thanks for watching!

0:19 - Dwight Schrute.

Anyone else see it?

Anyway, awesome vid.

[thesillyfatkid]

@yourmothaq Thanks! Kind of Dwight.... Dwight from the 1960's.... eerily appropriate.

@yourmothaq office fan to are we :)

[pinkemit]

This is a beautiful video to match the song, thank you.

Incredible video. Really well done. Where did you find all the cool clips? Share your secrets?

[thesillyfatkid]

public domain videos found all over the internet. Look for them and they will manifest themselves.

what's the water-ish thing at 3:10? i love this song but this video is just too cool....

[thesillyfatkid]

it was a series of videos i found of NASA experiments up in the space station. They created a large ball of water, and held it in place with a wire and blew air on one end to watch how the waves interacted on the surface. I'm a nerd and i enjoyed it so profusely that i wanted to put it in here... even if it didnt fit.... hahahahaha thanks man i'm glad that you enjoy the video!

[azzyxsays]

that's awesome....i couldn't tell if it was like a video of a dropper letting out a little bit of water, then the clip reversed or something. cool stuff!

[GeorgeMellllow]

Crap, now I really wanna see this video, but my computer wont let me D:

[profchaos33]

i'm gonna be honest. i clicked this video, saw the gaping mouth and thought, "this is going to be a stupid video..." much to my surprise, this was amazing! the footage corresponds with the music very well :) very nice work.

[thesillyfatkid]

@profchaos33 Thanks, that means a lot... i enjoy making these things... a little out of practice now... looking to get a new computer and take it back up again as a side project. probably going to use more of my own videos that i capture to ensure that i don't Offend any copyright laws. but thanks for the feedback!

sorry it was a year late.. hahaha

[unin00bster]

ZOMG! I posted that 10 months ago, apparently, and just got the new reply right now.

WHY THE HELL DID I NOT NOTICE THAT WAS CHARLIE CHAPLIN?

Some things are f***ing stupid in retrospect lol.

[broskater78]

i agree.. that's some great editting my friend

[lifeloversmile1]

Great piece of music, love Sufjan, and excellent video! Well done!

[acronov]

this is really well done, although like 1-2 minutes in the lights from the 599 thing got quite boring, really it was amazing besides that.

[thesillyfatkid]

@acronov I completely agree... granted i did this a while ago... i was just making these for a party that my friend was hosting that he wanted some videos playing in the background as we played music that went over the top of them. it wasnt until a few months after the party that i decided to upload them... should have done some editing!

[wickeddrummer13]

The mini dude is kickass, Good job by the way even though you may not take credit it's still cool.

[steinanwine]

oh man, I love the clip from the Herzog film!

[unin00bster]

I love the guy dancing the feet. He's officially my new hero.

[thesillyfatkid]

could you possibly mean Charlie Chaplan? The biggest name to hit the silver Screen?? doing his most popular most recognizable gag?? hahahah
