This is my video for Sufjan Stevens song "Concerning The UFO Sighting Near Highland, Illinois" (the first track on his wonderful "Come On! Feel The Illinoise!" album). The video is primarily shot with a Fisher Price PXL 2000 Pixel-vision (a toy camera made in the '80s). This early digital format helped me achieve the ghostly grainy images. Besides shooting "live" footage with the PXL I also transfered "real" UFO footage to the camera.

The sharper images are transfered stop-motion images taken by NASA on the planet Mars. I re-edited, tinted, and zoomed around the images to make them my own.

I keep coming back to this amazing video. Got a DVD of "Nadja" (1994) from Netflix today. Modern day vampire movie in which the vampire POV shots are in Pixelvision. Wish I had one of those Fisher-Price oddities. The epitome of "haunting."

The earth crumbling before my eyes,thundering under my feetI hear no more, I see no moreShe holds my hand, my soul, the windShe lifts me from this chaosA world I had once glimpsed in my dreams

I remember watching this video long, long time ago when it barely had any views. It still impresses me! So creative! It also introduced me to Sufjan Stevens!
