(FR)Hommage au travail du pionnier américain des effets visuels Robert ABEL, cette vidéo de Variety Lab est une vraie fausse VHS des années 80. Une joyeuse chanson de Noël Geek dont les paroles ont été intégrées dans l’univers synthétique de publicités et de génériques TV.

Cette chanson est également un clin d’œil au travail de Peter Vogel, inventeur du synthétiseur / sampleur CMI fairlight.

La plupart des images de ce clip provient de spot publicitaires réalisés par Rober Abel And associates - archives.org.
Quelques extrait viennent de publicités japonaises pour les magasins Yodobashi et du documentaire « discovering electronic music »

The new video of French electro pop band Variety Lab looks like a VHS from the 80s and is a tribute to the work of American visual effects pioneer Robert ABEL. A merry geek-Christmas song which lyrics have been integrated into the synthetic universe of advertisements and TV credits.

This song harkens back to the work of Peter Vogel, the inventor of the synthesizer/sampler CMI Fairlight.

Most of the clips in this video are taken from commercials directed by Robert Abel and Associates - archives.org.
A few other clips are taken from Japanese TV adverts made for Yodobashi stores and some others from the "discovering electronic music » documentary.
