a short by Lernert Engelberts & Sander Plug

Commit and dedicate yourself to even the most stupid ideas that come to mind. We ve built a glass harp and learned to play this 18th-century musical instrument. Instead of a classical piece we choose the classic 20th-century piece ‘No limit’ by 2unlimited — easily the worst song ever!

And Yes: it is real and no post production tricks. DUH!

    I love that the guy on the left was getting into the groove, haha. This was amazing enough that I want to bust out some glasses to try and fail miserably! Excellent work =]

    If only they played MGMT's "Kids" just to jump on the bandwagon like everyone else.


    The high synths would fit this "instrument" perfectly, though.

    If the guy on the left can't make a career doing this, I think he has a future in porn. Good rhythm.

    Guys, you are truly awesome! You inspired my 14-year-old, and he engaged me, and we spent good half an hour playing and having fun! And this kid plays classical piano ;-) So we can really appreciate the work involved in building and learning to play your instrument... cheers!

    Super creative idea, way to think outside of the box. Your camera work is pretty straightforward and you let the visual aspect of you work tell the story more so than any tricky camera effects. Do you think that is more effective than flashy camera tricks or does it just depend on the concept?
