Jeff Keen's exaggerated and riotous use of pace through rapid cuts and stop frame animation cram visuals and ideas into short timespans. Here he uses a hand-made/lo-fi mixed media approach to moving image, and a dreamlike non-linear narrative. See more about him here, here and here.
In Michel Gondry's Be Kind Rewind (which we will show you soon) he uses lo-fi means again to create abridged versions of famous films in short timespans. He calls these sweded versions. They contain key points in the narrative cut together quickly to give a precis of the storyline. This has become a bit of a cult process now with YouTube full of sweded versions of famous films. Gondry has also written a book called "You'll Like This Film Because You're In It: The Be Kind Rewind Protocol" which he hopes will enable anyone who reads it to make imaginative films with limited means.
