So this is my first album of ReRecommendations since I joined.


I went back to my Recommendations since August and selected the ones that I liked the most or that spoke to me in some way.


1. Number 1 just had to be Wirrows Video "And a new earth". It must have been one of the first Records that I saw but I just love it so much. Everything about it is so brilliant, the text, the music that gets more and more chaotic, the relatively simple video that creates such a big effect. When I saw this video, I knew that this is something I want to try to be a part of. That's why it had to be my number 1


 


2. Marble Infinity by Shadow88Storm, which seems to have recently been re-named. I just think this must be one of the nicest photos I have seen here. I like the focus on the marble and the way there seems to be a whole world of it's own in there.


3. DandeLion: I just love this video. First, I just think this playing with the word is brilliant. Making the Dandelion to a DandeLion that looses its mane... Additionally, there is such a kind of melancholy in the story that is well represented by the music and the reading. Just beautiful!


4. The tiny story "Long distance relationship" is just so beautiful. Maybe it spoke to me because I know the agony of a long distance relationship ;-)


5. Shooting Star by Paperlillies. I guess I like this Record so much because of it's simplicity. The animation, the music. It is at the same time light-hearted and a bit sad. I like this combination.


6. The tiny story of the copy machine. I just love how this story tells so much in 10 words.


7. In "Je t'aime la lune" I like how different records were combined and create such a special atmosphere.


8. I love this cartoon Bubbles. I like how it is so simple but to the point. It captures a story that is so simple, yet has so much character in it somehow.

a sort of stream of consciousness-y thing ive been writing lately. i saw this timelapse vid today by bluebudgie and was really inspired to experiment with it. i understand how this might be seen as political or preachy or offensive.. but i honestly dont mean to be any of those things. it is directed at me more than anyone else. there's a lot of literary reference nod's in the text.


sub-point: the track is an instrumental version of everything is on fire

Thank you to 'Itssdanii' for the photo/inspiration.

P.S. TO ALL YOU STOP-MOTION ANIMATORS OUT THERE:
As RegularJOE said in the most recent 'THE REGULARITY' it would be great if we could get some more tiny stories in video/animation form... I think I'm too impatient to try a stop motion at the moment and I'm probably terrible - so If anybody wanted to make a stop motion it would be cool to get a pencil drawing of the big hand and the little hand moving around a clock - with little faces on the arrows... when the arrows overlap the faces are happy, and then they tear up as time moves on and the hands are further apart... Then the battery dies... and by chance - the hands are crossed over... so they get fixed like that... :D

The "tiny stories" collaboration that wirrow started last spring is far and away the most active collaboration in hitRECord's five years. There've been thousands of contributions, and now we've compiled, curated, refined and remixed thirty-one gems into a beautiful work of tangible publishing -- The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories.

This short film adaptation of the tiny story "dandeLion" started with words from JustMeg. DaniBananas illustrated it, and I did some voiceover. Marielv did this beautiful animation while adding some piano from jstandifird, and lastly I took my best guess at what a lion might sound like sneezing.
