For Cars & Trains’ The Sun Always Sets Lew Baldwin delivered this highly imaginative animation promo. Created with illustrations by David Foarde plus various ‘found objects’, (comic book pages, old childrens books and scanned items) the video is a wonderful mash-up collage with visuals strewn together with little regard for cleanliness.

Stylo – the first single from the hotly-anticipated new Gorillaz album Plastic Beach – sees the return of the successful pairing of band co-creator Jamie Hewlett and Passion Pictures’ Pete Candeland.
And for the first time most of the band appear as three-dimensional characters within a riveting live action sequence – featuring a guest appearance [...]
Quirky lo-fi animation by 3D artist Richard Thomas and BUG’s redoubtable editor and title sequence creator Miland Suman for the Australian singer-songwriter Bertie Blackman.
Miland and Richard used Bertie’s own artwork as the basis for the video, and it actually involved making puppets of six of Bertie’s hand-drawn characters, a live action shoot, roto and matting [...]
For the new Turin Brakes single – the first from their sixth studio album Outbursts, at new home Cooking Vinyl – Harry Dwyer has directed this epic war story. And he did it all from the relative comfort of his own flat.
It’s all done with toy soldiers and meticulously-created sets – and it’s [...]
After last year’s marvellous Power Rangers-style blockbuster for The Drum, Nobody Beats The Drum bandmember and visual mastermind Rogier van der Zwaag has taken a very different approach for new track Grindin’: making a stop motion video with a huge number of wooden blocks.
4085 photos and 300 wooden blocks later, the new NBTD video is [...]
From the new Massive Attack album Heligoland – out today – comes the third video. And yes, it’s the same track as Baillie Walsh’s bullfighting film, which gives some indication that this isn’t exactly panning out to be a typical campaign.
The new version of Splitting The Atom is by French director Edouard Salier, known for [...]
The pent-up emo fury of Enter Shikari finds superb expression through the distinctive rotoscope- plus style of Annex director Joseph Pierce.
It’s Joseph’s first video, but after his short films Family Portrait and the award-winning Stand Up, in which he reveals the dark psychology lying beneath reality by meticulously illustrating over live action pictures and [...]
Two minutes of deconstructed animation joy by the brilliant David OReilly and his Hollywood-based friend Jon Klassen – who also collaborated with David on his U2 video for I’ll Go Crazy – which works as a continuous loop.
“My good friend Jon Klassen came over to Berlin in October,” explains David on his blog. “We [...]
Ben Steiger Levine has a way with creating thigns with that ‘how did they do that?’ quality. First there was Socalled’s You Are Never Alone, where the artist dismantles his own face. Then there was the amazing bee-man of the Grammy-nominated video for Beast’s Mr Hurricane.
Now he has created a surreal room where empty [...]
A superb ‘animated-live action’ video for the Illinois power-rock duo Tweak Bird by the LA-based director Nick Peterson.
With his figures cavorting against black, Nick reveals that he was inspired by Roman vase art – but with his bodacious devil-girl there’s also a substantial nod to retro-inspired poster art maestros like Kozik and Coop.
