I have always liked the voice of William S. Burroughs and I’ve always wanted to do something with the Origin and Theory of the Tape Cut-Ups clip.

Now I have.

Also includes a cut-up example by Brion Gysin.

    I liked it very much You might want to look at some of John Cages music he was going along a similar theme with music/sound.Your film technique amplified the theme and by doing so gave it something fresh.

    How did you do that wire shaking words effect? It's really interesting.
  • Matti Niinimäki 6 months ago
    It's pretty simple actually. The waveform effect in After Effects applied to a spiral shaped path.

  • Oliver Wilkins plus 6 months ago
    Brilliant, really creative and stimulating.
