The XX 'Basic Space' - directed by Anthony Dickenson
The new track from London-based indie band The XX has a soft, otherworldly sound, so director Anthony Dickenson felt that this would be best complimented by a music video featuring ethereal and flowing imagery.
Anthony developed the idea from a previous experiment, in which he found that rotating objects on a turntable while shooting long exposure still sequences created an organic effect. This was integrated with live action performance to create the video. The band was shot within a simple lighting setup, and the lights and dripping water imagery were then animated.
Coincidentally, this style matched the water and cut-glass theme of the band’s artwork perfectly, resulting in a beautiful and relaxed music video.
Miike Snow 'Animal' - directed by Anthony Dickenson
Master pop trio Miike Snow were looking for an experimental music video for their new single, ‘Animal’.
Director Anthony Dickenson decided to work with projections and sculptures using a mixture of animation and band performance footage. Although the technique has been seen in art installations, it had never before been combined with camerawork for a music video. The technique for mapping projections was very complicated; the aftereffects had to be co-coordinated through experimentation over a period of 5 weeks.
The result is a unique music video in which graphic, colourful country and city landscapes move and change in time with the music, whilst the band members transform into fantastical animals.

Berndsen - Supertime (Dir. Helgi Jóhannsson)
Me and my friends are a bunch of unemployed film makers in Iceland, lazing about in the economy crunch and decided to do an independent music video which would be like something we had never ever seen before ourselves. The outcome was a very violent and bloody but at the same time cheerful and spunky clip for icelandic popstar Berndsen. Thanks to the economic crisis HD RED camera equipment could be rented for cheap, and all cast and crew was happy to give their work for the cause of using one sunday to do something that could maybe produce nightmares in one or two weakhearted people. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed making it.

Luke Jackson "Goodbye London". Directed by Murray John
I set out to capture the bitter sweetness of London life, using urban 2D animated sketchy drawings on walls. All the stop motion photos were taken around London, and I added the drawn 2-D animation using After Effects. I based the stop frame locations in Camden, Hampstead and Picadilly circus.

The 8mm video is nothing new or original. But for some reason, this video just feels right with that kind of look.
