HOT PRELINGER ON A BUN
A collection of unusual short clips, taken exclusively from the freely downloadable movies at www.archive.org, set to an original faux nuevo tango. Many excellent examples of the weird wonders hiding in the Prelinger Archives.
PRELINGER ASSEMBLED!
A collection of twisted short clips, taken exclusively from the freely downloadable movies at www.archive.org, set to an original, spleen-bursting score. An uplifting guide to the odd, musty chunks littering the floors of the Prelinger Archives.
PRELINGER ARE CHIVES!
A collection of pleasantly disturbing short clips, taken exclusively from the freely downloadable movies at www.archive.org, set to a nerve-wracking original score. Carefully chosen, these clips convey, through conceptual progression, a whimsical, filthy dread. An inspiring trip through the flaky detritus hob-knobbing with the dust mites in the Prelinger Archives.
PRELINGER TWICE A NIGHT
A collection of girly clips, set to a nicely bombastic piece of music. This movie is made entirely from the vintage burlesque shorts available at the PRELINGER ARCHIVES.
LET US PRELINGER
The unholy communion between the biological and not-so-logical, illustrated succinctly with clips from the PRELINGER ARCHIVES. A Stepford wife demeans you with her knowing gaze, while another handles a teapot, short and stout but packed with chromium punch. It delivers what her flaming man cannot. Do you care that the siren reveals her true nature by her spasms, her sparks, her smell of ozone? The overworked invisible cyborg mimics the Israeli bulldozer corps. You are denied access to the coldmaker by the blonde mannikin. Men of science genuflect to the machine, receive punishment, then genuflect again. The Bishop's enormous new hat is delivered by truck. The Diddly Men, untouched, evoke a gentler age as they dance to internal rhythms. Imps regard the totality with confusion, the UFO arrives, and the birth of the machine signals the end of all. Though this document is apocalyptic, the musical score is straight from heaven itself, wrote by a angel on a cloud with a Jumbo Sharpie. Close your eyes and be tranported, open your eyes and be damned. It's kind of like a visit to the optometrist.
PRELINGER PRALINES LINGER
Sit down with a spare afternoon, a case of MILWAUKEE'S BEST ICE, a couple hundred archived CDs of Prelinger films, and this happens. You'll probably enjoy this more if you're stoned out of your mind. The movie's evocatively arranged imagery may induce low birth-weight in susceptible individuals.
PRELINGER FINGER ZINGER!
A syncopated juxtaposition of some of the odder footage found in the Prelinger Archives. No kiddin', this one will give you a for-real headache. Intended for the youngsters - you old people may find it "challenging". This is a sequel to earlier episodes in the PRELINGER! series
PRELINGER SILLY BULLS!
A musical adventure made up of individual monosyllabic blurts culled exclusively from the free footage found here in the archives.
PRELINGER SILLIER BULLS!
A sequel to PRELINGER SILLY BULLS!, found elsewhere in this archive. More like it, only different.
PURPLE VOMIT SEQUENCES
Every afficianado of ephemeral public-domain films is familiar with the gratuitous and ubiquitous "purple vomit sequences" that inexplicably appeared in a great number of these films over a twenty-year period. As yet, not one producer, crewmember, or actor who was involved in any of these films has volunteered a reason for these bizarre segments, most of which have been excised from prints currently in distribution.
MSTER BUNGLE PUPPET SHOW
MISTER BUNGLE, the vile puppet from LUNCHROOM MANNERS over in the AV GEEK section of these archives, has his own show! Yay! Fun for the hole family. Why does MISTER BUNGLE act the way he does? Look for the bottle of pills on the lunchroom table!
PHONE SEX QUICKIE
Many people wonder "What is, exactly, the 'phone sex'?" This short video shows it in action. Also this is an experiment to see how nasty submissions to this archive can be. Ooh yeah baby. It's a small download. Grab it!
COMPENDIUM
COMPENDIUM is a collection of highlights from public-domain ephemeral films that, as yet, have not been made available in these freely downloadable archives. Excerpts from controversial titles include shots from: AND TO THINK IT WAS UNNECESSARY, LAB SAFETY AND HOW YOU DO IT, THE NEW MIRACLE DRUG THAT WILL HELP YOU DRIVE BETTER, and many others.
NEGATIVE TOWN PSA
An issue-nonspecific local PSA from Negative Town, USA.
CRASHES
Courtroom trials involving the determination of auto-accident liability increasingly rely on sophisticated video reconstruction. These reconstructions are frequently produced using 3D computer graphics. The state of the art as of early 2004 is quite advanced. This video is a compilation of several recent clips provided by my firm, SIX FRIENDS FORENSICS, using the very latest in ingeniously-implemented physical simulation to convey, to a jury, what a drunk idiot did and how fast he or she did that thing. The animation here was created with proprietary software running on a networked stack of WILSON-FISK supercomputers in a sealed render-room, nitrogen-cooled to a temperature of one hundred and fifty seven degrees below zero, Farenheit.
AMIGA DPAINT ANIMS
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, I was introduced to both computers and digital animation by the Commodore AMIGA. Recently I found quite a few old anims I made with DPAINT way back when. I edited some of them together randomly, dropped in a music track, and posted the results here. I may get around to posting more collections like this. Or not. Caution: This has no real entertainment value, and is of interest only to the very small number of people who want to see unrelated snippets of low-res, aimless animation, produced for no good reason, with long-obsolete hardware. The frame rates of the old anims are a bit weird, so some of the clips play too fast. It could have been fixed, but mumble, mumble, phhtttt
INTERNATIONAL ROAD SIGNS - A Practical Guide
Many road signs around the world use ostensibly easy-to-decipher symbols, intended to assist visitors who do not speak the native tongue. Sometimes the meaning of these symbols is less universally obvious than the designers intended. This is a concise guide to some of the more inscrutable signs one might find abroad, translated for the English-speaking traveler.
YOU JUST CAN'T STRIKE A LUCKY BEAK
This is made from, and inspired by, an earlier entry in the OPEN SOURCE archive, called YOU JUST CAN'T BEAT A LUCKY STRIKE. I downloaded it a couple of hours ago and wow. Be careful with this one. If you play it as an endless loop, you could get seriously hyp-mo-tized.
