''ODDSAC'' is a visual album by Animal Collective, featuring psychedelic visuals directed and edited by Danny Perez. First announced in August 2006, the film took over four years to complete. The band members and director Danny Perez dubbed the 53 minute combination of Perez's film and Animal Collective's music a “visual album” or “visual record” in which the visual “scenarios” were created to reflect the music and the music was created to reflect the imagery.〔(PITCHFORK - Hey It's an Animal Collective Film Project Quazi Update )〕 The band members make appearances as major characters in the film. According to the band, the film's name is both a pleasant combination of letters and the name for a bag of gummy candies.〔(AnimalCollective.org Community - Oddsac Spoilers )〕 The film had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 26, 2010,〔(2010 SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL ANNOUNCE FILMS IN PREMIERES )〕 It was officially released on DVD on August 10, 2010.〔(ODDSAC - A Visual Album By Animal Collective And Danny Perez Screenings Announced )〕 ==Production== The project was first conceived when Plexifilm approached the band regarding the creation of a documentary or concert film. The band decided to approach Perez about making a film which resulted in Perez going on tour with the band in order to create some concert footage for the upcoming project. This film was never used as the band decided to make a film that was more to 'their taste'.〔(Exclusive Interview with Animal Collective and ODDSAC director ), Cinemablend.com; accessed October 9, 2014.〕 While Perez was on tour with Animal Collective concepts for many of the scenes for the film that would become ''ODDSAC'' were discussed and the shooting of the film began shortly thereafter. Many of these concepts were based on ideas that the band had been discussing for several years. During the production of the film the musicians and director collaborated, and thus neither the music nor the film was created independent of the other aspect of the work. This had been the concept of the film since its inception.〔 Josh Dibb explains: That was the goal of what we were setting out to do. We didn't want to have him make a video and have us score to it and we didn't want to make a piece of music and have him just cut a video to it. So we did a lot of back and forth and ... both things informed each other. And that was what we wanted to make.〔 Many of the sounds created by the band were inspired directly by the images created by Perez and Perez's images were changed often in response to new music and sounds from the band. The film was shot outdoors in what was intended to be an "alien landscape". The sound from the film footage was not used because of its poor quality and the noise of the generator used on the outdoor set.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ODDSAC」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
