Route 66 - Frame by frame



Michel and Olivier Gondry directed this clip for the band Lacquer.

A guy drives across the US from Los Angeles to New York.

They shot it on 16mm film, one frame every second during the day, one frame every 10 seconds at night.

A seven day journey becomes a four minute video.

Reminds me of Vanishing Point (in which the car crashed at the end is a 1967 Chevy Camaro, not a 1970 Dodge Challenger). Or was it Zabriski Point?

No points for getting that this post has no point.
