Today there was no news. And here is the proof.
Music: Ben Frost - Theory of Machines

(I’m also well aware that Time Trumpet did a very similar concept, but I had never seen it or knew of its existence until you wonderful folks drew my attention to it. A tip of the hat to Adam Buxton and Armando Ianucci for being first!)
This is a photo I found and enjoyed while pursuing Flickr. If you like this, you can view all of my Flickr favorites or go check out some of my own photography.

amazing
Interesting. Makes me think of what really is classed as news. And also in what way this could happen. Maybe if all forms of modern communication was down for a day, phone,internet etc. A communication black out. So the presenters would have to talk about what happen to them today.
Epic 24 failnews
I love it.. a nice tag would be ‘the day today’

Personally, I am so intrigued by the concept of this visual moving imagery. Along with possessing an aesthetic appeal accompanied with the perfect music, the meaning is deep. When the news anchors look straight into the camera with nothing to say, it almost has a feeling of relief.
Adam Buxton did something similar: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4pY3QtiGyo
Absolutely awesome
Ha! Never seen Adam Buxton’s video before! He’s clearly as fascinated by the blankness newscasters exude when they’re not reading the news as I am. His video is better than mine, however, godammit.
no way yours is far better, its has greater suspense and engagement, your music is perfect and your titles are genius
Nicely done. The “Adam Buxton” vide is from Time Trumpet.
Wow - this is oddly amazing.
Hi, I’m an admin for a group called Information Anxiety, and we’d love to have this added to the group!
A day without news would be hugely newsworthy. “Nobody Died” and “There Is No War” alone would be top stories, and all the news stations would go on a 24-hour No News Watch.
OMG
This is just amazing!
this is incredible!
The saddest thing about this video is that there’s never a day without news… how many wars are going on right now? How many Mugabes or Kim Jong Ils are out there doing things and we don’t bother to report on it? I know this is a commentary on crap that they put on the TV but still, what they don’t say is probably way more important.
I liked your better … GENIUS
This was originally done on a BBC Two comedy series called Broken News. This is really well executed though.
Very cool !

Awesome!
Good news!
Beautiful.

If only. Well done.
Really, really creepy.

Superb ! Can someone send me the actual file…? Can’t download from here but would love to have a copy. Will be credited ! Thanks.
nice music
powerful stuff here. great music, as well. i’d love a way to download this or embed it, if at all possible, and would most certainly credit you! this is really fantastic.
This is amazing. Soo gloomy
Awesome - a case of fantasy that we all wish happened now n then.
Brilliant!!!! Wish it went on longer.
very cool!
i’d also wish there was a downloadable (maybe higher res) version :)
Awesome !
Amazing!! Brilliant work!
Wonderful !

Very good. Thanks.
Creepy, beautiful and thoughtful. Nice crawl graphics too!
@deadrobot You should have seen the graphics these replaced only a few weeks ago. These are hideous in comparison. They’re hideous on their own in my opinion.
Cool stuff… see also… www.davidtinapple.com/video/debatebreath/debatebreath.mov
Hi, I’m an admin for a group called Video Central, and we’d love to have this added to the group!
Awesome video. Love it!
No news is good news.
Especially good in this case.
I think this speaks to a particularly sensationalist, pessimistic mindset. The fact that it didn’t even occur to you that maybe people would like to hear some positive reporting on the world around them speaks volumes, I think.
No terrorist attacks, therefore reporters have nothing to talk about. What a sad commentary on the media.
Excellent !
really cool
great video piece world in satory thanks!
positively stunning. thanks for making and sharing
This is so eerie, I love it!
pretty cool

@pixelsurgeon: No really, this is better than the other attempt. You somehow manage to infuse this desperation into your piece. At first, it’s great, it’s clever, but then you realize what this entails—nothing good happened, but nothing bad happened either. The expression of blankness manages to both calm you and make you uncomfortable.
I especially like the string “There is no war […] There are no funny stories.”
This profoundly moved me. What if? What if?
Really fantastic. Really, really well done. The music fits perfectly, as well.
It makes one think. A lot.
Brilliant. Goes to favorites!
This reminds me a lot of Koyaanisqatsi … very cool stuff.
yes, yes, and yes. thank you for the creating.
amazing
Brilliant!!!
Great work, but c’mon - no cute baby animals? Anywhere? Totally unrealistic. ;)
Also, it reminds me of an old TV show (Mary Tyler Moore, maybe) in which the weatherman was pissed off about something or other. His report consisted of a single line: “There is no weather, anywhere in the world, to report today.”
fabulous.
The music, the scrolling, and the suspended animation gave me a flashback of SimCity with the game paused. Anyways, superb.
the best news I’ve heard all week.
oh how i wish it was true…
Magical. The awkwardness is deafening.
Fantastic.
well done, Ben
