![]() ![]() Casady’s “Pencil Dance” is full with imagination and energy It was awarded Prize for first film at Annecy ’89.Ģ3. Casady has been responsible for the special effects for many Hollywood films during the 1980s and the 1990s, the most notable of which is 1982’s Tron. Directed by Petra Mrkyz and Francois Moriceauĭrawn on 12″ paper with black ink pens and markers, Chris Casady’s “Pencil Dance” was assembled from “pencil tests” which Casady drew during an 8 year period in his day job as an effects animator. Air’s soothing sound is conjoined with psychedelically pleasant visuals in “Sing Sang Sung” and together they create a dreamy, comforting world where there is nothing to worry about.

The different lists were then calculated by our data expert in Barcelona (Thanks, Amit!), and this finally gave us to the current list. These 130+ videos were then all ranked by each editor from top to bottom. Each of the editors chose 20 videos from the total 700 videos on the site, which gave us to a list of some 130+ videos pretty cool videos. So this one is probably the first, and we took the selection process very seriously (indeed, some people thought almost psychotically serious). This makes sense because before the arrival of the web and sites like YouTube and Vimeo there was no infrastructure that enabled people to share and access short clips effectively. While there have been some lists of greatest psychedelic films, we haven’t been able to find any list for the greatest psychedelic short videos (If you know of one, please tell us). To our knowledge, this is the first list of its kind. From first impressions of psychedelic media art created for these new types of media it seems that psychedelic media is one of the artistic genres which will benefit the most from the incorporation of a 3rd dimension into media as well as from the immersive media environments which will be created by augmented reality glasses.Īfter 700 videos we felt that we now have a preliminary basis to create a pioneering list of the greatest psychedelic videos of all time. ![]() Now, with the advent of 3D screen technology and augmented reality glasses, one can only imagine what these might mean for the future of psychedelic video and media. While we have a number of classic 1960s videos on the list, most of the psychedelic videos that appear on it are from the past 10 years. In fact it is clear that more psychedelic videos are being produced these days than ever before by professional workers and independent artists alike, aided by ever improving computer technology and by the increased ability to share these videos on the web. Psychedelic videos are not a thing of the past. Today, in the second year anniversary of daily psychedelic video posts, with more than 700 psychedelic videos on the site, it seems clear that there are many more psychedelic videos out there than any of us would have dared to imagine. Check it out here.Ģ years ago, when the idea was born to set up a website dedicated to curating one psychedelic video every day, we were still skeptical about how long one could continue, and afraid that after a month or two we’d run out of psychedelic videos to post. He does video however, and wants a way to mount it handsfree and have a consistent effect across all the footage in a scene.Important: A new, updated and immensely more satisfying list of the best psychedelic videos ever has been published. What is the best way to mount it for filming video? I do still photography mostly, so it’s fine for me to have to use a hand to hold a lens. I told him he could probably get it and hold it(instead of mounting it to a lens)-would that work? Is there a cheaper diy way to get the same effect as the product sample images above with a triangular prism like this? He was wondering the best way to do that and I told him putting a prism near the lens could get you similar effects, and showed him prisms, etc.Īm I right you don’t need a filter/lens to do it and can DIY it? I have literally disassembled a kids cardboard kaleidoscope before and used it for a similar effect, and don’t feel proprietary equipment is worth the money.īut it doesn’t come in a small enough diameter for his lenses. He also loved the other kaleidoscopic, etc scenes. My partner and I watched “The Love Witch” and he loved the prism effects in the dinner scene in the cabin:
