National Board Delays

November 18, 2011

This is not what I expected to see this morning.

Linkage:

Read the link before watching the video.  It explains:
You know the Kuleshov Effect, illustrated by the famous Soviet montage experiment in which an actor's performance seems to change, depending on whatever image (a bowl of soup, a child in a casket, a beautiful woman) appears before identical footage of his face in close-up. Performances in the movies only begin with what the actor does on the set. They are created and re-created every step of the way, from editing to final sound design and mixing (effects, looping, punching, music, etc.). There's also what I would propose we call the "Russian Unicorn Effect," after the amazing music video parody by Bad Lip Reading.

The real video is an abbreviated "meet-cute" story, and the Russian Unicorn video is the exact same footage but feels completely different.  (Also, the song is a JAM!)
