Music Video Goodness

I havent shared videos with you lovely people in a long time. Nothing paticularly new here, in fact this first offering for Ugly Casonova is a couple of years old. This has stood the test of time and still gets me giggling like the first time I saw it. Disgusting and cute in equal measures. Odd to say the least.

The next video is by Nagi Noda who tragically died too young. The video she made for Japanese chanteuse Yuki is a fitting tribute. Using a hole hoard of extras this fantastic video is reminiscent of Gondry at the height of his powers. I love videos the shy away from using special effects in post production, and instead with a bit of thought and creative panache, use proper old fashioned techniques. The results are always more visually arresting.

Some newer stuff now. This 8bit wonderment for Fly Lo by Eric Wareheim mixes a Tron-like aesthetic with the sort of shenanigans that go down at Dalston's visions on a nightly basis. Whats more hypnotic; the dudes strangely familiar moves, the large ladeez rotundant physique, or the tecnho phychadelia in the background? All combined it makes for some gripping viewing.
