August Sings Carmen


I am in love with this video. It starts with a classic opera song and takes a turn to the surreal. It's just so unique in its presentation and seems to start off so innocent. The use of CG for the robot in the video was astounding for what seems like a simple YouTube video. My love for the absurd is really what helped me enjoy this video as much as I did. It gave me the same vibe as something out from Tim & Eric, but it took itself more seriously and presented itself in a much more refined manner. I feel that the fact that it seems to take itself so seriously without taking away from the original song is what really lends to the awe and power of this video.
