Need an hour of trippy video, stat!

May 26, 2008 1:44 PM

Help! I have five-ish hours to locate, download, and burn some source of psychedelic imagery/video for a friends' show in Seattle. Think Electric Sheep, only less screensaver, more burnable to dvd.

I'm looking for about an hour of trippy colors/shapes/textures to burn to a dvd, to be projected behind a live show. If I *have* to, I'll bring my laptop and run Electric Sheep on screensaver, but I'd like to eliminate the element of chance computer malfunction/lack of vga input/etc. etc. that happens at a live venue. Anyone know where I can download fairly hi-res trippiness on the quick?

This thread may be useful. I haven't tired of this yet. Koyaanisqatsi.

Electricsheep is just a series of short, randomly generated mpgs. You can either pull generated ones from you electricsheep cache directory or download a megapack and rip to DVD. *poof* instant trippyness.

Might be interesting if you can capture it.

Baraka, and there's a sequel to Koyaanisqatsi, although I don't remember the name.

I'm enjoying the video off of this recent thread.

aeighty: there's two sequels: Powwaqatsi and Naqoyqatsi.

Gravitas, the universe in motion

It is a free bittorent download.

Here are two Flash websites by one Larry Carlson: Hills are Alive and North Vale. I honestly don't know if this can be captured; but if you can, it's definitely trippy enough.
