The Skalinskis VS Koyaanisquatsi

Alright, this isn't an origional video of sorts, it's more the result of too much time and not much to do.

I the film-maker watched "koyaanisquatsi" years ago while studying film at college, I've always thought it would be good to use scenes from it mixed up randomly as a visual-psychological experiment. While I was bored I decided to have a practice using the skalinskis 'assasin' as the musical score. One of the guys from the band came over for a cup of tea and liked the basis of what I was messing with, so much in fact that he suggested that I put it live on the net for others to see. His idea was to publish it as a homage to the origional film, replacing Phillip Glass's superb musical score with a modern ska inspired track but leaving Godfrey Reggio's cinematography intact only altering the timing a locations of the shots.

So I am proud to present a different interpretation of Reggio and Glass's 1982 masterpiece 'koyanisquatsi', brought to the year 2008 using the skalinski track 'assasin' (available on their new album "Ba-Da-Boom!" available online at itunes).

I hope you enjoy. Credit to where it's due.... I did not use my own camera for any part of this video, every shot is from koyanisquatsi, I didn't do the music either.... all I did was edit the two together.

Enjoy!

Never said it was.... but if you listen closely you can hear the Skalinskis, and they are from Stoke... and if I'm not mistaken, the song was recorded in Stoke. Also, I was editing the video in Stoke. Does this count? ;-)

This sounds okay ... but the original soundtrack has a much more profound efect on the viewers. To be honest , it's the soundtrack that makes the movie what it is. Anyways keep up the good work :)
