MGMT (Make Great Music Together) has released it’s official video for the wildly popular track ‘Kids’. The song has been all over the place, so chances are you have heard it already. That does not stop the video, however from being mildly offensive and questionable. Damn I love this band. I hope their sophomore album is good.
Via the still going strong, Surfstation.
Motherland emailed to let me know about their recent video for Black Tide’s single ‘Warriors of Time’. The entire video was produced digitally. The illustrations were produced on a Cintiq, compositing was done in After Effects and 3D was completed in Maya. You can read a little more about the project, as well as get the full credits here.
I couldn’t take my eyes off of this unusual video. The interplay between color fields and the usage of contrast is first rate. There’s some real art going on here. There is also some nice usage of typography peppered in for good measure. I am curious if this was shot digitally or on film. Either way it’s great work.

NASA (North America South America) Project’s latest video “A Volta,” was produced by Santa Monica-based motion/animation/direction house Logan. The video was inspired by the artwork of The Date Farmers and takes place in an ultraviolent upside down world of insanity populated by criminals, prostitutes and drug lords.
Hey wait, that kind of sounds like this world.
NSFW (if people at your work get upset by the ‘F’ word and lego people doing drugs and getting it on).
The video for The Emperor’s Machine – Kananana is a music video come Science Fiction short. Written and directed by Cassiano Prado.

Wow. A lot of work must have gone into this. You can also watch the making of here.
Really digging this wildly eclectic video for Dan Black produced and directed by Chic & Artistic.
Really digging this recent video for the Mint Chicks directed and animated by Special Problems. I hadn’t heard of the Mint Chicks but will definitely be picking up one of their albums now.

Just stumbled across this video directed by George Salisbury featuring a cover of Madonna’s original song ‘Borderline’ as covered by the Flaming Lips and Stardeath. It’s a great cover and a really nice video. The video was done with 1 day of shooting and completed in a 1 day edit using After Effects.
Sidenote: Some guy complained last week that he wanted me to include my video posts in a separate RSS feed. I apologize but with my extremely limited knowledge of WordPress and CSS, I have no clue how to do that. So until then, I guess you’ll just have to type the domain into your web browser from time to time to pick up on little gems like this kick ass song and video.
I really dug both this video and the song.

Wow. I am not entirely sure if this is an official music video or what exactly it is for, you can read more about it here at the Vimeo page. Either way, I think my brain kind of melted a little while I was watching it.
Shilo developed this video, which recently aired at the F5 Festival for BrotherSister’s single ‘Still Run’ off of their new album ‘The Wunder Tales’.
The making of the video was quite an ordeal. Here is Shilo’s Creative Director Andre Stringer on the process of producing the video:
“After listening to the record, I just fell in love with the poetry of the song and lyrics,” Stringer began. “For the video, I wanted to explore the idea of perseverance through change and adversity, and we found a way to take that idea to an epic scale by using one seamless shot where a person runs though time and space. We began by shooting a five-second test of the guy running in front of a green screen, and over the course of about a year, we turned that into a full music video. Almost everyone in the studio has touched it at some point, including Dante when he was here contributing sound design and music to some of our other projects.”
