Beyonce - Crazy in Love f/ Jigga - Directed by Jake Nava
This video is certainly nothing special in the realm of cutting edge-ness but it is a masterpiece of execution. Jake Nava, making the jump to American "Big Leagues" of music video, also gets points for convincing Miss Knowles (and her Mama) to drop the "Beauty Pagent Contestant on her off-day" wardrobe Beyonce had worn in Destiny's Child in favor of a more youthful, fashion conscious style. Hot song and a hot video.
Here is the video on YouTube and here is the treatment.

'Short Circuit' Dir: Leo Bridle. Music: Daft Punk
I posted this on shortsville first, but I've been persuaded to post it here too. It is a short 1 minute animation with music by Daft Punk. I hope you like it.
Lush "Deluxe" (ver.2)
I remember seeing this on 120 mins and thinking 4ad was so cool. Highly overstylized, but pretty much captures that early90s 4ad thing.
