Kanye West, Spike Jonze, and Rita G take to the arid Nevada desert to create Flashing Lights, this year's winner of the controversial Best Urban Video category. Jonathan Becker, the video's producer, elaborates:

"Making this video was one of the highlights of my career. It was Bucks Boys first project, shortly after launching our company. "Flashing Lights" was a true collaboration between Spike & Kanye. Two amazing artists in their own mediums, both with a mutual respect for the others craft. This was not a typical video. It was conceived, produced, edited and out to the world in less than a week. The crew was incredible, which included the masterful Steadicam work of Larry McConkey. We are thrilled that the video won "Best Urban Video" at the Antville Music Video Awards and would like to thank Spike Jonze and Kanye West for allowing us the opportunity to help create the project."

I can't decide whether I like the video yet. But in all honesty, I think it suits the song very well. Anyone have a decent QT?

A cool looking video made by a student at Texas Christian University. Made in one day for fun.

not looking for th'obscure, just easy fun, along the lines of pnau, lollipop, or sporto kantès with some tasteful/contagious oldies thrown in (rockit, close to me, whip it, knock on wood et. al.). thx...
