Daren Rabinovitch of Encyclopedia Pictura addresses the tricky business of love&nbsp;in his video for Dirty Projectors. He charts the classic stages of a relationship, from beginning to end, through a&nbsp;cast of characters who all share a common distinguishing&nbsp;feature.Dirty Projectors&#39; song Up In Hudson is a personal story. Rabinovitch and his associate director&nbsp;Isaiah Saxon have opened it out, and added the magic and fantasy, and brilliant colour palette, of which their creative collective are rightly renowned. Recognisable modern settings become the domain where the characters (the descendants of characters from The Hobbit?)&nbsp;find and enjoy, stumble and lose love, and then find themselves.Every shot is imbued with the familiar EP pink and blue-hued superreal look, and each stage brings new wonders - none less than the brilliant final sequence, at a busy intersection in Manhattan.

Dirty Projectors 'Up In Hudson' by Daren Rabinovitch

Dirty-Projectors-'Up-In-Hudson'-by-Daren-Rabinovitch

Eva Michon plays up to the pulsing beat of Right Hook with a sweet and simple visual about a girl that starts to see the ceaseless tempo marked&nbsp;everywhere she turns.&nbsp;It starts with women&#39;s ponytails as they run&nbsp;in&nbsp;the park. In a daze, it follows her to piano class, where she teaches a young boy to play at the exact tempo - only realising when she looks up at the metronome. By the end, she takes control of this obsession&nbsp;and does what any sensible person would do in this situation... hit the club.

The Dirty Projectors are back - releasing their new single Keep Your Name and an&nbsp;engrossing performance video along with it, co-directed by frontman&nbsp;David Longstreth and Kanye West&rsquo;s creative director, Elon Rutberg.With a solemn,&nbsp;monochromatic visual treatment and an occasionally quite off-kilter&nbsp;performance by Longstreth, we bear witness to&nbsp;his post-breakup schedule, which&nbsp;is filled up with&nbsp;piano playing, frantic doodling and guitar smashing.&nbsp;It&#39;s a perculiar yet engrossing&nbsp;visual,&nbsp;pairing&nbsp;well with all the percussive&nbsp;quirks and self-sampling&nbsp;in a track about the&nbsp;inevitable yet confusing&nbsp;breakup of a disjointed couple.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

The directing duo of Harry&nbsp;Israelson and&nbsp;Harry Schleiff pretty much cut their teeth as promo directors with the videos for Toro Y Moi&#39;s Too Many Details and Say That a couple of years back. Now, with the video for Lilly - which is part of Ray-Ban&#39;s&nbsp;Never Hide Noise strand, HARRYS&nbsp;pick up from where they left off: the same fine eye and attention to detail, but with a bigger&nbsp;vision.From aerial shots of the city, we come down to earth in the parking lot of a supermarket and we enter its near-deserted aisles for some fantastical shopping. A dream-like state pervades and food is soon flying around - which even the pristinely-atttired&nbsp;Chaz Bundick (aka Toro Y Moi) cannot avoid.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Sometimes the term gets bandied around, but there&#39;s no question that anyone is&nbsp;exaggerating here. Pharrell&#39;s Happy is billed as the world&#39;s first 24 hour music video. And they are not kidding, it&#39;s true. We&#39;ve watched it all.&nbsp;The brainchild of Pharrell&#39;s creative director Yoann Lemoine - aka Woodkid - and French directing team We Are From LA, this is one where you just tune in, and then you zone out - with a smile on your face - at any hour, day or night. Just catch a delightful dancer moving through LA, singing along to Happy. Or watch Pharrell put forward his own performances every hour - in another outstanding outfit. &nbsp;With cameos from Odd Future, Jimmy Kimmel, Steve Carrell and Jamie Foxx and many, many more,&nbsp;there are tons of hidden treats to explore and easily share or&nbsp;tweet.&nbsp;We&nbsp;would recommend&nbsp;<a href="http://24hoursofhappy.com/04h32PM">4:30pm</a>&nbsp;for some serious cuteness.We&#39;ve been spoilt for choice recently by interactive music videos if you remember the likes of Kanye West and Nick Knight&#39;s <a href="http://www.showstudio.com/project/blkkk_skkkn_head">BLKKK SKKKN Head</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNRMSKSZY04">Moone&nbsp;-&nbsp;Better Energy</a> slur of a music video&nbsp;and even within the same&nbsp;week Bob Dylan&#39;s <a href="http://www.bobdylan.com/desktop.html">interactive TV-set</a>&nbsp;effort. This trend is happily set to continue as the heavyweights are taking on the indie acts at their own game, bringing their own innovative ideas and this time with a whole new level of resources.And what&nbsp;must of been a&nbsp;logistical nightmare comes across&nbsp;flawless. It took 11 days to shoot - walking 8 miles a day with steadicam gear. But in fact this endurance test is what it took to make history.&nbsp;The direction is key and essentially what ties the project together creating a real sense of cohesion.&nbsp;Not new to inspiring the world We Are From LA often create international campaigns for brands, their most famous to date the technically brilliant <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfxB5ut-KTs">Baby &amp; Me</a>&nbsp;for Evian. Having directed music videos for Kanye West, The Shoes and Citizens! be certain that this duo&nbsp;are the real&nbsp;deal.And who knew Yoann Lemoine could possibly have the time to creative direct Pharrell&#39;s gigantic career while also being&nbsp;Woodkid? Fresh from&nbsp;releasing footage from his live tour, Yoann his hand in this massive project. Not content with the&nbsp;Despicable Me 2 version, the pair clearly believed something else&nbsp;twas needed&nbsp;that would grab the world&#39;s attention.The final touch, and every great idea has one,&nbsp;is creating a catchy condensed version that makes the impractical, practical. So if you don&#39;t have a whole day to spare enjoy the below.

Keaton Henson 'Lying To You' by Autumn De Wilde 

Keaton-Henson-'Lying-To-You'-by-Autumn-De-Wilde-

A remarkable, ingenious, but also chilling and even morally questionable video for Cults' Go Outside, which puts the band within a sequence of true events - involving one of the most notorious cults of all - that led to one terrible tragedy. Heartbreaking stuff. 


Isaiah Seret's statement on the making of the video for Cults' Go Outside
"To tell the story of Cults' hauntingly beautiful track, "Go Outside", I was inspired to bring the band inside the world of Jim Jones' famous religious cult, Peoples Temple, and the eventual tragedy in Jonestown. Fortunately, when exploring the feasibility of this video I became acquainted with Fielding M. McGehee III, an expert on Peoples Temple history and the primary researcher for the Jonestown Archive. It is thanks to him and his encouragement that I was able to take on this project and through his support gained access to over two and half hours of home videos showing Peoples Temple in Jonestown. For this music video we didn't want to put a spin on the footage or the peoples lives--instead we wanted to re-tell and humanize their story. In order to achieve this we used a combination of stock footage, visual effects and other tricks to embed the band into the historical footage. This was achieved through my collaboration with my visual effects supervisor Bill Gillman and my cinematographer Matthew Lloyd. Lastly, I am moved to say when we completed the video we were able to preview it for some of the survivors of the Jonestown Massacre, who expressed their appreciation of our focus on the lives of the People's Temple members as opposed to exploiting the graphic images of the final tragedy."

A beautifully-realised cautionary tale from the woods for the trippy LA outfit Bodies of Water by Andy Bruntel - with a starring role for Andy's dog Milo as The Spirit of the Forest.
Boy, does Milo get up to tricks. I might have watched Little House On The Prairie if it had been more like this.
