Daddy Yankee ft Snoop Dogg - Gangsta Zone Directors - Carlos Perez & Jessy Terrero
Shot in B&W at the Torres Sabana projects Carolina (Puerto Rico)
Nothing spectacular ‘bout it, being its peppered with every Latin ghetto cliché from Jesus icons, burnin' rubber, Pitbulls, girls and gambling to Yankee and his ‘heavyweight’ belts Even the project ‘s housing stairwells echo American prison interiors
D’yah think that girl's boobs at the start r real though, and is the dancer who gets several solos, the same ‘blonde’ dancer from Yankee’s Gasolina? I luv da bass beat style production

"Zidane. A 21st Century Portrait" Dir. Douglas Gordon & Philippe Parreno, score by Mogwai
talking about pushing the boundaries of music videos, i wonder if this will qualify.
"Turner Prize-winning artist and filmmaker Douglas Gordon teams up with French artist Parreno to create a work glorious in its simplicity: training 17 cameras, both HD and super35mm, all under the supervision of acclaimed cinematographer Darius Khondji, solely on footballer Zinedine Zidane, over the course of a single match between Real Madrid and Villareal. We see the legend in action and in repose, follow him around the pitch, sometimes at the centre of action, more often waiting, watching - while, in voice-over, the footballer himself broods over what he can and cannot remember from his matches. Magnificently edited, and accompanied by a majestic score from Scottish rock heroes Mogwai, this is not only the greatest football movie ever made, but one of the finest studies of man in the workplace - an ode to the loneliness of the athlete, the poise and resilience of the human body." from the site of the edinburgh festival, where the film has its international première (apart from cannes) on 16th august.

Flowered Up: Weekender (dir: WIZ)
An anonimous reader of my blog left this comment on the post about the Empire clip:
"Wiz is a pretty legendary promo director in the UK; His video for Flowered Up’s track Weekender really pushed the boundaries of the music video."
He also posted a link to the clip. A 17 (approx.) minutes long music video!
Enjoy! (Flash)

Klimt inspired animation
I feel like an ass for doing this, I apologize. Sincerely. I'd like to ask whether any of you know of any Gustav Klimt inspired music videos, or music videos that reference his stuff? Either animated or live action..or both. And while I'm at it, anyone know where I can download some of Oscar Fischinger work? Please, and thanks so much.

Marc Webb: The final thread
I can't believe how many people are upset that a poll was taken to survey antville's opinion of a director's body of work. Where else could you do this? I like Marc Webb and thought he was underrated; I was curious to see other people's opinions. At any rate; you can think it's all pointless, but I can't believe people think a general critique is mean-spirted.
