Fanboy Supercuts, Obsessive Video Montages

Posted Apr 11, 2008 (Updated Nov 17, 2011)
This insane montage of (nearly) every instance of "What?" from the LOST series started me thinking about this genre of video meme, where some obsessive-compulsive superfan collects every phrase/action/cliche from an episode (or entire series) of their favorite show/film/game into a single massive video montage.

For lack of a better name, let's call them supercuts. (Thanks, Ryan.)

Here are some examples I could find, but I'm sure there must be more. Post 'em in the comments and I'll add them. Bonus points for supercuts with the most clips, the shortest clips, and in additional genres (sports? politics?).

UPDATE: This entire list (and many more) is now on Supercut.org. Add more there!

Honorable Mention

A commenter points to the work of Chicago artist Chuck Jones, who's created a number of excellent audio and video supercuts he calls Isolation Studies. I've listed them all above.

The "Most Obsessive" award goes to artists Jennifer & Kevin McCoy for their work Every Shot, Every Episode from 2001, a 277 DVD set compiling 10,000 clips from Starsky & Hutch, arranged by categories like "Every Dead Body," "Every Mirror," "Every Gunshot," and "Every Affirmative Response." Other work of theirs includes I Number the Stars, a shot-by-shot index of the first 20 Star Trek episodes in 120 categories, How I Learned, a 10,000 shot inventory of the show Kung Fu in over 100 categories, and Every Anvil, cataloguing the violence in 100 Looney Tunes cartoons. Mind-blowing. (Thx, Buzzfeed!)

June 15, 2011:
The earliest supercut appears to be Joseph Cornell's "Rose Hobart", a short film from 1936. It compiles nearly every scene featuring the obscure actress in the 1931 B-movie, East of Borneo.

Want more? Michael Bell-Smith and I launched a site dedicated to the supercut genre at Supercut.org.

Mike: Good point. Ultimately, I don't think intent really matters much... The video creator could intend it as criticism (e.g. pointing out cliches or mannerisms in political candidates) or artistic merit (like the Chuck Jones work). But you're right, in the LOST case, he's clearly not a fanboy.

not exactly in line, since it eschews strict repetition, but c. marclay's "telephones" is an early (1995) precursor in this vein (subsequently familiarised by the iphone ripoff).


perhaps my favourite supercut proper (albeit with an opposite tack) is valentin spirik's, in which the howard hawks classic is distilled to its pauses/silences: "his girl friday - between the lines edit" (via dvblog).

Norwegian Artist Candice Breitz has been at this for ages.

Here's the description from Hoxton UberGallery the White Cube:


Candice Breitz
Candice Breitz: From A to B and Beyond

If there’s a rule of thumb for looking at Candice Breitz’s work, it’s the rule itself. Every one of her video installations can be reduced to a very simple formula. Take the Four Duets series, for example: select four music videos of sentimental love songs from the last half-century. Collect and string together the moments in which each of the four performers sings either “I, me, my” or “you.” Display the “I Loop” opposite and in dialogue with the “You Loop” from each song. Discard all remaining footage. Or Diorama, 2002: start with the cliffhanger episodes of each of the fourteen seasons of the soap opera Dallas. Edit out a string of repetitive sound bites for each of the main characters. Discard all remaining footage. Display in a living room furnished out of local charity shops. Or Soliloquy Trilogy, 2000: take blockbuster movies starring three Hollywood icons and, in each case, reduce the entire film to the star’s speaking parts only. Discard all remaining footage. Project in small cinema. Or Becoming, 2003: begin with seven romantic comedies. Edit each down to the female star’s key scene. Discard all remaining footage. Act out the selected scene yourself, as best you can.

Andy,

indeed Candice Breitz work is awesome and, like a lot of good video art, surprisingly well hidden. I saw Diorama as part of the Zabludowicz collection in the inaugural show at its new home. It was shown in two rooms with 1950s furniture, set as a living room and a bedroom, a television on every available surface, low lighting, and each screen showing a different Dallas character in a really short loop. Picture Bobby breathlessly saying "mother" while from another screen his mother curses "never". Being caught in the cross-fire of eight or so screens, alone, with the doors closed, was highly disturbing. Getting out of those rooms though, back into the light, was as elating as leaving behind a decade's mental illness.

I think that Becoming was shown at the Venice Biennale 2005. I didn't really get it then, but in retrospect, and with the context provided by blog comments like these above, and developments; like karaoke rick rolling (via fimoculous) Candice seems to have taken a pre-eminent position in many aspects of (DIY) video art.

Thanks for the supercuts.

Hi,

I made the audio pieces and also the Buffy thing. It's on youtube if you search for it. I no longer have the time to make these kinds of pieces, because I have 22 month old daughter, and two jobs.

I'm glad that I got mine in early, as I love work like this, but don't want to make any more. I got to see Jennifer & Kevin McCoy's "Every Shot Every Episode" when it was at the Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago. It was amazing and I can't imagine a couple making that kind of work together and remaining married. Are they still married?

The rest of my work is either at my site www.babygorilla.com or a chuckbabygorilla on youtube.

Just discovered this following a link in the "Not here to make friends" entry in the fourfour blog. Great work, Andy!

Here's another one you don't have on the list yet - it's from a 2008 British movie called In Bruges that was a flop in the US box office but has become a cult hit in the UK. This neatly packaged compilation of all the cursing in the film was provided as an extra on the DVD, so not strictly a "fanboy" work, but still deserves to be included in this list. If you haven't seen it, the movie itself is well worth seeking out...

I didn't see the "You're/he's/she's good" supercut. That phrase shows up in every action/heist/con movie ever made. Bonus for "You're good. Very good." Some superfan get on that!

The Hours is of course the best supercut movie ever made. Mesmerizing.
