Sqaurepusher Contest Entry by Oli Goldsmith for 'Go Spastic'

This was my entry for the Squarepusher Video competition held a few years ago by Warp Records. I only found out about it with 1 day until it was due. I didn't win (though they said I almost did) but I'm still pretty happy with it for a day of working like mad. Warning - chaotic to the point of seizure inducing!

nice. i think your video is a bit too hectic constantly though. after a bit it just washes over.

graphics at 4 min mark are outragously good

@silvastomp

thanks...

the 'wash-over' comment is interesting... fair enough not for everyone's taste, but growing up with rise of chaotic media etc. i find hyper chaos to become like white noise - almost cancelling itself out... ie. i would describe it as calming so the wash over description, is almost the effect i'm after...

thanks!!!

@oligoldsmith what software did you use? I quite fancy doing stuff like this. tutorial video?

Cool video, Oli! I found it while searching for your work with OLP - In Repair is one of my all-time favorite music vids. This one may fail the Harding Test, though... ACK!!! XD
