antville Music Video Awards 2008
The Winners (say hi) !
The shared honour of Best Cinematography went to two different corners of the globe: to Mike Ragen for his work on Damien Jurado's Caskets, and to (doubly nominated) André Chemetoff, for his part in Justice's Stress. Both wrote in briefly:
"It was great to be considered next to these awesome videos. Matt Daniels is a very visual director who deserves a lot of the credit as well. Phil Anderson was an amazing AC who also found most of the locations we used and everyone else involved with costumes/art/makeup really made this piece look the way it did. The Super Speeds and the Red One also didn't hurt."
"Many thanks for this award; making this video meant a lot to us and i would like to take this opportunity to thank my crew: my gaffer jean christophe Frendo, my focus puller leo Hinstin and the guys ben Gitai and illan Rosenblatt who had to run a lot... and also i would like to thank bertrand Duval who did the color grading on "stress" and on "the age of the understatement" videos and of course ellen Treasure for the inspiration. Big up and happy new year, peace.... andré"

mp4 Original version
Besides the comparisons that have been made on the web between Yannick Saillet &Co's original version and Justice's DANCE Theres also summit to be said of the fact that Alizee riding a Solex in the David Rubato/Rebecca Zlotowski video, makes it look more than a little, like Dougal Wilson's Bat For Lashes Whats a girl to do clip The lyrics to Fifty-Sixty are possibly inspired by the real-life biography of Edie Sedgwick tell, in personal and metaphorical manner, the story of a young model under the tutelage of Andy Warhol, The lyrics end with the reiteration " Candide believes everything Andy, Andy told her",

Hi Gang. Happy New Year. A few weeks back I posted the first installment of a music video play-list that is dedicated to videos created by filmmakers primarily known for their work in cinema.
I've finally had time to post the second installment. One more to come. Enjoy.

Sukpatch - Out the Window (Director: Greg Shultz/Chris Heidman)
Designer/Animators: Greg Shultz, Jacky Jiang, Justin Greiner Design & Animation Compnay: GASKET After releasing their first 2 albums with the Seattle based Slabco label they caught the attention of Mike D from the Beastie Boys, who then signed them to his label, Grand Royal. After the release of an ep and a full length, the label folded and all the bands were set free.
A Camp "Stronger Than Jesus" Dir. Amir Chamdin
Nina Persson's (The Cardigans) second solo album sounds like it's going to be awesome. This video, however, would hardly give any indicator of such awesomeness. If anyone remembers previous Cardi videos (from fellow Swedish directors), you will know exactly why this video is such a huge disappointment.
And the budgets keep falling...
