Watching Paint Dry

Paint is slapped on a plank of wood and dries - the aesthetics of boredom are a groove sensation! This one was inspired by all the knobheads who were leaving complaints on my earlier reworkings of avant-garde film for the digital age. I'll be more than happy if this gains a reputation as the worst video on YouTube ever! For those of you that don't like aesthetic experimentation, go and join Hula.

I didn't even notice it the first time around.

Look at it change! Skip from 0:23 to about 9:23 - the layer of paint seems to get absorbed by the wood.

Excellent choice for the score.

And that's why I say my Watching Paint Dry vid is better than the others I've seen posted on YouTube... coz they just show the same thing for 10 minutes, and it just looks like a computer generated shade of colour in each instance, whereas on mine you really can watch paint dry!

the thrill of it all... t'is groove sensation indeed... should be in all clubs... wall to wall... bit long for the radio... could use a hairdrier and maybe get it down to 2:56... capital gold matchpot... we bop

Yeah, I'll just speed it up.... that will work nicely to make it radio friendly....

Boring? This is more exciting than most art shows (and home improvement shows, for that matter!)

BTW, I like your technique. Could you come over to my place? I have a couple of walls that need touching up.

I like very much the painting.

[stewarthome]

Well that will make for a good and shorter movie!

MDF will take some doing as it's more absorbant than Thames Water.

Hey if you let me sniff the paint first I'll do your entire apartment.....
