A short tango clip called Contrapunto (by Jean-Pierre Jacquet, 2004): hand-drawn animation of a dancing couple in Buenos Aires, exploring the details of the tango.
The short clip “Tango Ghosts (2005)” is a tango nuevo style video clip to Gotan Project’s Santa Maria…. Interesting visuals — the whole clip is in inverted colors, making the dancers appear like ghosts on a one-colored background. In addition the scene is shot from multiple angles, projected on top of each other, just the first few seconds are single-scene. The dancing is OK, but nothing too fancy, stylish or “high class” — as far as I can tell.
Much more interesting is the real background story to this clip: is creators are Beatfix, a group of VJs who do stuff like this in real-time as video performance. And I have to say, this really looks cool. Imagine the possibilities… many more examples can be found at beatfix’s website!
I just want to point out to all tango people out there — as well as everyone interested in the semantic web, metadata, structured blogging or whatever: tango.info (and the wikipedia entry about it) is a website dedicated to providing data on tango worldwide: places, events, teachers, festivals — tango poets, composers, musicians — tango songs, titles, CDs — and it does so in multiple languages (english, spanish and 25 more languages!). The stored data can be accessed by anyone and in convenient open formats.
Please: if anyone of you is a teacher or runs a milonga/festival: check out this site and add your information! It will make the web a better place
