Sleigh Bells - "Rill Rill" (Official Music video)



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.

Lykke Li - I Follow Rivers (Director: Tarik Saleh)



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.

A Day Without Chemistry


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.

Produced by the ACS Office of Public Affairs, Digital Services Unit
and the Younger Chemists Committee

Up! (1965)



From Youtube:

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.

The Thomas Beale Cipher



Based on a true legend of the famous unsolved code.

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.

For more of his work, check out the 2010 Anchorage International Film Festival Opener. No collage here, but the high contrast, punchy colors and moody compositions will be familiar.

Found at the excellent Short of the Week as part of their new “Short of the Week Presents” program, which plans to feature short films that have never been online before and help to coordinate their digital launch. Bravo!
