Experimental AMV

I had the idea last night to do an AMV to the song "Experimental Film" by They Might Be Giants. It would very much be in the style of an experimental film in terms of appearance, effects, symbolism and juxtaposition of subjects, etc.
The big thing is that it would also have video footage of me holding a video camera imposed over my anime clips to make it appear as if I'm filming the characters onscreen.
Interesting?

Intresting with the camera thing, but i can't really say what i think cuz i haven't heard the song, but it sounds good so go for it!

May comment again after i've heard the song...

I had a similar idea for the song, but not with the personal elements (I was gonna use some in-anime footage of cameras recording weird stuff). Sounds neat! Go for it!

(wonders if he should do his idea for the song now too, or just let it slide)

Here are the lyrics:

The color of infinity
Inside an empty glass
I'm squinting my eye
And turning off and on and on
and off the light

It's for this experimental film
Which nobody knows about and which
I'm still figuring out what's going to go
In my experimental film

Yeah, you're all gonna be in this experimental film
And even though I can't explain it
I already know how great it's

I already know the ending
It's the part that makes your face implode
I don't know what makes your face implode
But that's the way the movie ends

And in my experimental film
Which nobody knows about but which
I'm still figuring out your face implodes
At my experimental film

Yeah, you're all gonna be in this experimental film
And even though I can't explain it
I already know how great it--
Even though I can't explain it
I already know how great it's

The color of infinity
Inside an empty glass
It's for this experimental film
Which nobody knows about and which
I'm still figuring out what's going to go
In my experimental film

Yeah, you're all gonna be in this experimental film
And even though I can't explain it
I already know how great it's gonna--
Yeah, you're gonna be in this experimental film
And even though I can't explain it
I already know how great it--
Even though I can't explain it
I already know how great it's

Beware of Kevin Caldwell (and other characters) suddenly popping in and getting in the way of the camera.
