In the olden days, we didn’t have digital cameras. Everything was shot on film. But even in today’s high-tech wonderland of CCDs, DLPs, and DVDs, some people still do things the old fashioned way. Among these proud anachronists is one Dunc c. He used a Super 8 camera to show “the contrasts of a home in the north of Australia & one in Sydney with Mt. Warning in between.” The result is a beautiful hyper-speed journey in colours and textures you just can’t get from digital.

Welcome, once again, to the off-kilter virtual curiosity shop I like to call Fringe Fridays, our nearly weekly look at animation and experimental web video. I’m excited to see the second episode of Freaky But True’s The Silent But Deadly Service has made its way to our port. There’s just something I like about the flat sitcom-like jokes in conjunction with the crew’s blasé acceptance of their strange underwater existence. And this episode ups both of those factors. If you haven’t seen episode one, you’ll want to click on the second video in the playlist and watch that one first.

Everything from these guys is pretty darn good, just check out the Diabolical Experiments series.

Here’s the latest, a puppet-powered take on Michael Jackson’s Thriller:
