No records were broken in the making of this video.
Said The Whale, a Vancouver based pop-rock band, just debuted an epic music video for their song “Record Shop.” The clip features 129 records, all covered with carefully cut out photos of the band as they play guitar, sing, and dance as the record spins. When the records starts, the images create an awesome kaleidoscopic effect, similar to stop motion.
However, no visual effects were used in the making of the video at all. At the beginning of the video, we see a short montage of behind the scenes footage. There’s a green screen, a printing press, and a lot of records.
If you’re a fan of flip books (or records), you’ll want to watch this vid.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
