BL:ND: Crazy

If you lurk around the same places I lurk around, you’ve probably already seen Blind’s incredible video for Gnarls Barkley’s "Crazy."

With a concept as strong as its execution, "Crazy" cleverly uses Rorschach ink blots to house live action imagery of the two-man Gnarls Barkley team. Pay special attention to things around 1'06", when there’s a really nice sequence involving centipedes, a schizoid conversation and, ultimately, Satan.

Rad.

The subtle use of color also adds a nice atmospheric touch and breaks up the monochrome palette a bit. I also really like how the piece starts out fairly static and then incorporates more and more moving elements and chaotic energy as the song builds.

Man, I bet planning and shooting this thing was a bitch…
