Video: Hauschka “Morgenrot”
Awfully gorgeous. Jeff Desom created this film for experimental piano musician, Hauschka. (via FecalFace)
UPDATE: Read how it was created (Thanks, Jack Haye!)
“The finished animation is mostly made from early twentieth century photographs that I found while browsing through the vast collection of the U.S. Library of Congress. I also used old postcards from New York that I purchased at a flea market in Paris. Most of the time I would only zoom into a tiny portion of the picture and utilise that as my frame.
“The hardest part was to make it look as if it had been pasted together from a lost reel depicting this curious experiment where they’d lightened up a piano and thrown it off a building only to see what would happen. The kind of unnecessary crash test executed under the sole purpose of drooling over the beauty of slow motion.”
