Promos and Comic books
Can the collective brain of Antville think of any promos that have animated comic strips? (Sebastian Telliers "broadway" is the only one i can think of). Thanks.

If you're into beautiful images, architecture, or atmospheric steeze - this video is for you!

U2 "One" (Dir: Mark Pellington)
YouTube A very nice video. I haven't seen it in a while and it surprised me how slow it is, more videos should be like this.
Goose "British Mode" Dir: Keith Schofield

interesting-ish optical illusion video for an electro-ish band.
DJ Shadow "Enuff ft. Q-tip" Dir. Rojo
A decent video that's getting heavy play on MTVu right now. MOV
League - Failing Physics
Also lesser quality but maybe more widely accepted. Google Video: video.google.com
Music video experiments in stop motion animation using chalk, digital stills and polaroids as well many digital effects techniques. Indie band from upstate New York. They rock check them out! I also created this video for them as my graduate studies thesis in visual effects. Let me know what you think of it!
Lady Sovereign "Love Me or Hate Me" - dir: Brian Beletic
Lady Sov is great and Brian Beletic's work has always appealed to me. It is funny and weird - with massive arm-pit hair balls and monkey men stealing Rolls Royce rims. The tetris-block themed performance works quite well.
With all that originality, this video is still actually getting played on TRL.
