A Brilliantly Edited Time-Lapse Music Video That Uses Cassette Tapes, Floppy Disks, and an Old Walkman

Award-winning Australian animator Jonathan Chong of Dropbear Digital has created a brilliantly animated time-lapse music video for the song “Quack Fat” by Melbourne-based DJ Opiuo. In order to create the 1980s feel he achieved, Chong painstakingly crafted the video using “240 audio cassettes, 5,600 feet of video tape, 108 floppy discs and 1 retro Walkman.”

A behind-the-scenes look at the making of the video.
