I saw this video the other day, about a day after we talked about Norman McLaren (I think?) And how he sometimes purposefully damaged his film. Well, director Samuel Bayer does the same thing in "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" by Green Day. If you look close enough, you can see the pieces of film where he extinguished his cigarette in and colored on the film with a marker. The song is okay, but the video is made better by Bayer adding the "aged" look.

Justin, I am very happy...name-dropping Norman McLaren? Impressive.
Yeah, the pre-scratching and coloring on the film is very apparent. Like you, I think it works well for the video.
Thanks for posting this. It's a great example of what we were talking about in class.
