Beirut - Elephant Gun (Alma Har'el)
In honor of cross posting, catch the new Beirut video over on SRO. Downloads, Links and even Interviews! How's that for Bonus Features kids! Get Part I in ya!
         
That was... *startlingly* good. It seems like a colorful, yet fairly banal video until the choreography kicks in. Once the dancing starts, however, the camera really displays a complex mise en scene, particulary with the rippling sections of cloth and party scenes.

Well done, sir!
         
Truly bizarre and wonderful. Interpretive dance from the Kate Bush school of motion.
Excellent.
         

kick ass direction

         
dancing hipsters is the new stop motion animation!
         
agreed
         
Pretty good, but I admit I'm a little disappointed and jealous only because this song inspires such images in my head. It's such a fucking good song.

So part of me was like, "Oh come on, what is this, Thriller?" while the objective part was like, "At least they made the effort, and for no money, so bully for them."
         
i agree with fungible. although the video is well-executed, there was WAYYYY more potential for this song
         
lovely little song; i liked the shabby sexiness here, but it does feel a bit limited.

Reminds me slightly ov Vivian Stanshall and the Bonzo Dog. Mad, wild, bonkers really! i enjoyed it, nice trumpet too
