The video for Sleigh Bells' Treats standout "Rill Rill", directed by Jon Watts, just debuted on MTV, and it's suitably cool and creepy. Blood pours from telephones, switchblades are used as accessories for yearbook photos, and Derek Miller gets pushed out of a moving car. Fun for the whole family! Watch it below.

The official video for Lykke Li's second single I Follow Rivers. Directed by Tarik Saleh.
The video for “I Follow Rivers,” the second single from Lykke Li’s Wounded Rhymes and the one remixed by Jane’s Addiction’s Dave Sitek, sticks close to the lyrics. Lykke Li literally follows, chases, pursues her lover to the water’s edge. And the video has the same overtones of fatalism, strength and sacrifice as many of her songs — when she can’t follow fast enough she kicks off her shoes and runs barefoot through the snow. She also looks fantastic here, all eyeliner and flowing black fabric. It’s probably part of the reason why the clip debuted on the stylish Dazed & Confused website. The video was directed by Tarik Saleh.
Imagine a day without cars, electric lights, TV, telephones, safe food, and water, medicine, clothing, your house, and thousands of other familiar objects that make up modern society. Do it, and you are imagining a day in a world without chemistry.
The American Chemical Society (ACS) explores that thought-provoking premise in a new high-definition video released just before the Feb. 1 official U.S. launch of the International Year of Chemistry (IYC). A Day Without Chemistry follows a young man as he sees more and more of his everyday necessities and conveniences disappear before his eyes.

What if... Walt Disney produced "Up" in the 1960s?
Ah, the swinging 60s. It was a time when films were dominated by flying automobiles and flying nannies. It was also a time when live-action Disney films flourished and spawned such hits as "The Love Bug", "The Absent-Minded Professor", and "The Monkey's Uncle". In an alternate reality, this era also saw the production of the high-flying adventure-comedy, "Up!". Starring Spencer Tracy and Kirk Douglas, "Up!" followed the oddball escapades of the elderly widower, Carl Fredricksen, and his earnest band of misfits as they traveled through the wilds of South America. Produced two decades after "Saludos Amigos" and "The Three Caballeros", the film continued the Disney tradition of telling stories set against Latin American backdrops.
Editor's Note: I have always enjoyed old Disney movies from the 60s and 70s. They managed to tap into such an imaginatively odd combination of situations and characters (like dinosaur bones and Chinese spies in "One of Our Dinosaurs is Missing", or flying cars and basketball players in The Absent-Minded Professor"). In many ways, Pixar's "Up" continues this charming tradition with its flying houses, talking dogs and gigantic flightless birds. It's a brilliantly written and beautifully imagined film. Oh, and stay tuned for the frame-by-frame breakdown and cheat sheet... there are a couple of Easter eggs hidden in this one.
Here's the recipe for the trailer: Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, *batteries not included, The Red Balloon, Superman, The Wizard of Oz, The Muppet Movie, Follow Me Boys, Mackenna's Gold, Benji, A Boy and His Dog, Mysterious Island, The Doberman Gang, The Alvin Show, Posse, One of Our Dinosaurs is Missing, The Island at the Top of the World, Zeppellin, Stephen King's It, Hollywood Hotel, Jonny Quest, Peter Pan's Flight, Habanera from Carmen, Always.

There’s a lot of striking moments in Andrew S. Allen‘s “The Thomas Beale Cipher“. I love the re-purposed textures (herringbone fabric and washed-out wood), the grainy whisps of wrapping light, and the clever mix of rotoscoped footage with abstract design.

The new stop motion animation music video from art rock group Eatliz, directed by the Grammy nominated directors Yuval & Merav Nathan ("Her Morning Elegance").
"Lose This Child" is out now from Eatliz new album "Teasing Nature".
Synopsis: Sometimes a beach isn't just a beach. As the sun goes down over the ocean, the sand comes to life and takes on the forms of an entire mini eco-system of aquatic life. Sea turtles are born, eels emerge to pursue their prey and Mother Earth orchestrates it all.

According to the Vimeo description, every single frame of this clip was “… printed from real video, then hand drawn, colored, or decorated and put back together.” About 40 artists participated in the project, working on almost 3,000 stills. I love that some of the artists abandoned the action completely, and turned in comic books and collages.
This is the final film being premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and on Vimeo simultaneously. It includes all 8 chapters in what Canon is calling the largest online collaborative film contest in history. The final chapter screenplay was written by all 6 chapter winners, directed by Vincent Laforet and photographed by DP Joe Desalvo.
Disappears is a band of Chicago scene veterans, vocalist/guitarist Brian Case (Ponys, 90 Day Men), guitarist Jonathan van Herik (Boas), and bassist Damon Carruesco. Steve Shelley’s currently playing drums, after the recent amicable departure of another ex-Boas dude, Graeme Gibson. The quartet put out their first full-length Lux last year — it was meant to be the final release on Touch & Go, but then the label went under, as did the collection’s release. It finally surfaced on Kanky, who just released Disappear’s sophomore album, Guider. The dark, muscular, hypnotic Spacemen 3/VU-infused garage rock might seem different than Kranky’s usual fare, but it fits nicely with the new-look Belong and some of Deerhunter’s sturdier moments. Here’s a video for “Superstition,” the opening (and briefest) track on the 6-song collection.
She & Him’s last video, for “Thieves” was shot in Super 8 and was grainy and gritty — or at least grainy and gritty for a She & Him project. The “Don’t Look Back” video returns to the overwhelming cuteness of their “In The Sun” video. There’s a choreographed dance, a glossy set full of Danish modern, and Zooey Deschanel in cute vintage outfits — pretty much all you need for a successful She & Him video. This clip was by Jeremy Konner. Konner is the director behind the Drunk History series.

The State of Wikipedia not only explores the rich history and inner-workings of the web-based encyclopedia, but it's also a celebration of its 10th anniversary. With more than 17 million articles in over 270 languages, Wikipedia has undoubtedly become one of the most visited and relied upon sites on the web today.
The fourth video in our the "State of" series, JESS3 is proud to release The State of Wikipedia as our first video of 2011. And, as if it weren't good enough, the video features none other than one of the co-founders himself, Jimmy Wales, as the narrator.
The first single from Cold War Kids‘ new album Mine is Yours, ‘Louder than Ever’ now has a spiffy new video to go along with it. The video concept feels a bit counter intuitive to the band’s original, more salt of the earth, image but the song, though a bit over-produced and closely resembling a Muse track in our opinion, is still good. What do you think?
Energy: you can't destroy it, but you can certainly waste it. That's what most motorized vehicles do, including trains. Usually, the energy generated when you stop a moving vehicle is dissipated as heat, and is lost to the atmosphere. With GE's ecomagination we've discovered that you can capture and store that energy, then reuse it - that's how our hybrid systems work.
Watch the above video to see a simple illustration of the physics behind dynamic braking. Keep in mind an object's force is measured in newtons, using the equation force = Mass x Acceleration.

Luego del éxito de sus dos anteriores sencillos Me quedo solo y Amor sin fin, Adanowsky lanza el tema Un sol con corazón, con el que pretende ampliar su cada vez más grande legión de seguidores, quienes han caído rendidos con el más reciente trabajo discográfico del artista, Amador.
En los próximos días comenzará a rotar en los canales especializados de televisión el video de este nuevo sencillo, en el que Adanowsky puso de manifiesto sus dotes como escritor y director.
Este trabajo visual fue filmado en locaciones de Chachalacas en Veracruz; Salazar en Toluca, Estado de México y la colonia Vistahermosa en el Distrito Federal y en ellas se ve al artista en una carrera eterna por encontrar el amor, tema que da forma a todas las canciones de su álbum, Amador
Producido por Mane Felici y Santiago Fábregas, el video de Un sol con corazón es también una muestra de la originalidad y versatilidad en el mundo creativo de Adanowsky, quien da rienda suelta a sus emociones tanto en la música y ahora como videoasta.
Adanowsky continúa así con la promoción de su tercera placa discográfica, la cual lo ha llevado en los últimos meses a realizar sendas presentaciones en El Lunario del Auditorio Nacional, el Voilá de Plaza Antara, así como en el festival Corona Capital. Para los próximos meses, el artista prepara una gira de presentaciones, principalmente por el extranjero, con visitas a España, Argentina y Chile, países donde su música también ha conquistado al público local.
Amador su tercera producción discográfica y la segunda de una trilogía que tiene pensada para externar sus sentimientos artísticos; ahora habla del amor y antes lo hizo de la banalidad de la fama como El Ídolo.
The first taste of Peter, Bjorn & John’s upcoming album Gimme Some is short, fast & aggressive. I hope all the songs on the record are like this, though even 2009’s Living Thing was meaner than you’d expect from the band. Sample line from “Breaker Breaker”: “Before you break my heart… I’m gonna break your nose and sing about it.” According to a band interview in Spin, John Ericksson wrote the song about a music journalist he doesn’t like. The video is a very basic performance clip, but it’s hard to get out an elaborate concept in under two minutes.

This is the official video for 'The Day I Died' by Just Jack. The video presents an moral lesson for the viewers: learn to appreciating the small details of life before it is too late. The video was directed by Ben & Joe Dempsey and stars Northern Irish actor James Nesbitt, as a man waking up to the "best day of his life" only to discover at the end that he has already been killed by a taxi and has been reliving that day.

"Ghost" (2011) is a independent shortfilm finished January 2011, shot in my hometown of Viborg. Both I, the DOP and sounddesigner grew up here, and had strong feelings about the locations.
We wanted to tell a simple story with a strong visual universe, using mostly atmosphere and moods. Avoiding dialogue and story telling rules, we played around with the structure, visuals and sound, trying to make the outer world reflect the inner feelings of the characters. This little ekspressive and experimental film was the end result.
Thanks alot to all the friends and family who helped out!

This music video for Mercury award-winning rock band “The Klaxons” was shot in one day in the amazing White Desert in Egypt; it was done in collaboration with UK’s Partizan and Saam Farahmande as the Director.
A seven hour drive from Cairo takes you to the town of Farafra where the Band and Crew stayed for the shoot. It was an early morning start to get into the desert to get the magic hour lighting of sunrise. The day was long and hot with many different vertigo-, zoom- and circular shots to achieve the “otherworldly” effect the Director was after. The second magic hour of the day was on top of us and it meant the end of an awesome day of shoot.
