The first teaser trailer for Joe Swanberg's LOL is a truly wondrous thing.

That's really cool, too, but not at all the same thing.

That's the one I meant to link to.

That's also awesome, although again, for a different reason. It's a brilliant display of collaboration, whereas the LOL clip showcases one person's ability to compose original (howver abstract) music from completely disparate and almost arbitrary sources.

Josh, your video reminded me a lot of that Michel Gondry clip in which he accompanies various versions of himself on drums.

Yeah, I like those e-band clips, and the idea of collaboration through the net, but the LOL stuff is more of a found footage thing, where my friend is creating songs and videos from footage that was not intended to be musical.

Glad to see other people experimenting with similar stuff. One of the goals of LOL is to prove that the Internet has made the world, especially the creative community, pretty damn small and accessable.

If you want to take part in some way, just send me an email and I'll fit people into the movie.
