We caught up with Kijek/Adamski to find out more about the video and exactly how many marker fumes produced this fluid gem. Read the interview here.

that go and Brite Futures: “Too Young to Kill”
Posted in: brite futures, General, Loop, music video, noel paul, that go, Three Frames
That go and Brite Futures’ “Too Young to Kill,” a music video sure to make you look more than twice. The number of scene/wardrobe/makeup changes would make any assistant director cringe!
There are certain moments where the video begins to feel repetitive, but that’s the trick that director Noel Paul used. Just as you begin feel a loop similar to three frames, he adds a twist at the end of each shot. The match cuts are a simple, nice touch that makes this music video interesting from beginning to end.

His music video for Rendezvous’ “The Murf” pairs a cosmic story with beautiful, stylized design that will both make you make you smile and wonder about the future.

OK GO, Pilobolus, Trish Sie: All Is Not Lost
Posted in: chrome experiment, Dance, General, HTML5, music video, ok go, spandex
It was only a matter of time until OK GO got into the Chrome experiment game. They’ve partnered up with dance company Pilobolus, longtime collaborator Trish Sie, and Google Japan to create All Is Not Lost – a music video and love letter to Japan that allows you to send messages using either roman characters or katakana.
The HTML5 version is a bit processor intensive (took a couple false starts on my machine), but worthwhile for the window movement and typographic play. The regular music video still features their trademark clever visuals. Making of here.
