This is good stuff.

more info on this please!!!

 

Been working on this for the past year or so in my free time. Previously worked on Skinemax, so it had a precedent, but this was a much more difficult affair. Came up with the idea after listening to a bunch of stuff that sounded like it had been decaying on an old tape for years, BOC Old Tunes, Hype Williams, VHS Head, etc. I was also watching a lot of nostalgic VHS footage and decided to theme one around old 80s commercials. Glad you guys enjoy it!

 

Here's some more info if you're interested:

I did an interview recently as well which I'm shopping around to various publications to see if they're interested, so I'll post that here as well once I know what the deal is.

 

Spread the word!

 

Oops, looks like that automatically posts the video, just click the title for the description.

six i love your videos

[gaarg]

This is why I don't watch tv anymore. Because it ceased being like that. This was tv as tv is and should be. tv-ish. Not this cgi hd shit today that makes no sense and is cold, minimal and not human.

[mcbpete]

Oh my bloody hell - this looks like one of the most incredible mixsets/videos I've seen in a long time. I'm a huge whore when it comes to the VHS aesthetic and this is just hitting all the right spots. six - one of the hugest of high fives goes your way man !

[Atop]

so fucking amazing

[six]

Thanks everyone, I'm quite proud of it myself! Glad it is making the rounds on some of the major blogs, and more importantly, that it has WATMM approval!

 

If you like this one, be sure to check out the first one I did, Skinemax.

donnie darko fan? don't you happen to have a mix of donnie darko scenes or something?

[oscillik]

and now I'm gonna be enthralled for the next two hours.

I was a huge Donnie Darko fan when I picked the name 10 years ago, and now I'm kind of stuck with it.

 

Not a bad idea, maybe I could make a short one song mix with Donnie Darko footage someday though.

 

The next one is gonna be all westerns though. I finished the audio a while ago, and my friend who I started Smash TV with will be editing the video this time.

 

So I'll keep you posted about "Gunslinger" in another year or so probably, it's looking pretty great so far!

Six, these are excellent! - it takes a lot to really grab my attention when it comes to mixes and videos and both memorex and skinemax are top-notch. Great track choices too.

sorry my ignorance, but it looks like/sounds like if in the intro of memorex video, you actually spotted where the vhs head samples came from and glued them with the original videos... did you do that??? or is it just a awesome case of synchronicity???

Nope, just careful planning! Tried to match each sound/lyric with a visual that made sense. Took fuckin' ages, probably around 400 hours of work total in my free time over the past year. Glad it was worth it!

 

Incredible work!!!

Ripped most of them from youtube Check out the 80s Commercial Vault if you're interested in the source material, a lot of it came from there.

That's excellent work. Loved it. It was posted on the VHS Head group on Facebook the other day but I didn't have the chance to watch.

Well done six.

Thanks!

 

Speaking of VHS Head, was super excited to receive this in my Vimeo inbox the other day.
