I like the notion of having a video with both Beastie Boys and "One Piece" in the title that functions very differently than you'd expect a video with those tags to operate.
Glad to be part of a proud lineage of AMVs for the song that makes people go "That was Beastie Boys?"
Much love to Ad-Rock, Jason Rohrer, gertrude_gandy & phifedawg

Re: Sleep Is Death [Beastie Boys, Cursed One-Piece AMV]
Glad to hear it Seasons, and thanks so much for checking it out! There's definitely something vaguely haunted and October-y about this vid in particular.
Speaking of which, I thought I'd use this post to share a vid I finished shortly after this one that I can definitely see as a tonal extension. This vid uses frames from various short mangas by the great Kazuo Umezu which I'd collected a while ago and always wanted to put to good use somewhere. I was lucky that, while these frames were just randomly on my mind, a local experimental artist who releases under the pseudonym Quillmage played this great recording of his at a local music club meeting I was attending. It was perfect for this vid because it refuses to become generic soundtrack backing, the way it pulses and has these constantly striking lil aural textures (those saxophone pads puttin in work) makes it feel like a real natural extension of Umezu's beautiful artstyle. This vid was a rly invigorating lil experiment and I'm excited by how it turned out!
Weird coincidence: One of the manga shorts used in this vid is Umezu's adaptation of the classic story "The Woman of the Snow". This same short story features in the haunting, beautiful film Kwaidan that I just recently had the pleasure of seeing at my local artsy theater as programmed and introduced by the fantastic new director Kyle Edward Ball (whose recent film Skinamarink has become a deep influence on my own work as well as a general touchstone of great inspiration in my life).
