There have been many experimental videos over the past few years. I am now going to compare three of them, to contrast the differences and similarities between past and present pieces. The three pieces that i have chosen to compare are, Girl Chewing Gum by John Smith, MUTO by BLU and Doll Face by Andy Huang.
In comparison to the other two Girl Chewing Gum (GCG) was created in the 1970s, whilst the other two were created within the last ten years. For something like GCG to be done in the 70s is quite a feat as having that technology then was very fortunate, as televisions had only become mainstream a few years ago with the Queens coronation in 1953. So this video was quite advanced, for its time, making the craft as important as the concept. Whereas the computer animation seen in Doll Face is quite common today so the craft behind this video is not as important as the concept. However in MUTO you can see the technology being used and the craft thats taking place. You can see the amount of effort that has had to be put in this video make it work, picture by picture, which makes this video have equal importance to the craft and the concepts.
Doll Face and GCG would seem to have similar concepts as the could both portray the mind as being easily fooled, whereas MUTO would seem more of an expression or evolution of the mind.
