 Split Screen: September 2005
For example, a buzzing noise is represented by a clip of a buzzsaw cutting through a tree, and each time that noise appears on the track, so does the clip.
The layout of subframes feels a bit random at first, but it works well enough: the eye is drawn rapidly to different parts of the overall frame as the voice samples play out and create a strobe-like effect.
Directed by Randy Kramer, this video is a subdued take on the visual strategy found in Multiple SIDosis 30 years earlier.

 C64Music!: Authentic SID Collection (SOASC=) Project
The SOASC= project is an automated recording technique invented by Stein Eikesdal (Stone Oakvalley) in order to mass record music from the legendary Commodore 64 and its SID chips (6581 and 8580) into mp3 files.
The goal is to record the entire HVSC SID collection played from REAL Commodore 64's (both old and new) as per collection #45 (April 17 2006.) With PSID64 as the REAL C64 player and 64HHD as fileserver, it all connects to multiple PC's with own tailored software.
Also, a strong point to consider in this project is that ALL SIDs are recorded on both Commodore SID chip models regardless of what HVSC or the author of the SID had recommended.

 Cake & Polka Parade   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Sid is soon experimenting with overdubbing and begins to layer tracks on a quirky song (an old tune named “Nola”) he is recording.
In a technical feat that has astounded filmmakers for years, the inventive Laverents figured out a way to use multiple exposures so that when he is performing two, three or eleven parts of the song at once, two, three or eleven Sids are seen performing.
This was all done in-camera using techniques he created (involving special fl mats and a lot of patience)...Suffice to say that it is one of the most joyful, hilarious, inspiring, humorous things you will ever see.

Amateur or not, MULTIPLE SIDOSIS is singularly worthy of film lovers' attention.

 Split screen (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The director of the pilot, Stephen Hopkins, was greatly influenced by The Boston Strangler's use of multiple screens to create tension.
