S.ot.D. - Synaptic Response – Legion of Green Men


I saw this video being made. Well, I saw a few seconds of it being made....

I was walking along Queen St. E. in Toronto out in Parkdale about 15 or so years ago. (sheesh, that long ago already? sigh...). Looked up a side street and there was Rew’s girlfriend.
“Hey!”
“Hey!”
He came out at the same time.
“Hey! They’re making the video in there for Synaptic Response. It’s stop motion live action ballerina animation. And they’re doing the camera animation right now. Come in and have a look.”
So we hung out for a an hour or so and saw the incredibly exciting world of moving an old camera a smidgeon at a time and photograph it hundreds of times. Hours of work for a few seconds of video.

It went on to win them a best video award at the MuchMusic Video awards in what, 95, 96...
