'History Of Gaming' - Dir. Johnny Hardstaff
There's been some discussion of Johnny Hardstaff as of late. This is another favorite, 'History of Gaming' produced for a Playstation 2 campaign along with 'Future of Gaming'. You can view much of his work through this page, including the Radiohead Push/Polk - Spinning Plates video.

His music video's blow me away, but the PS2 pieces totally miss the spot for me, way to long and also a wee bit to TDR!
cheers for the link though
I need to find an online source for the ident he created for Resfest (2003?), it's in a similar style to his music videos and freaky disturbing. An ominous, black plastic baby that possesses a HAL sentience
Thanks for that, that was great, I'd never seen it. We were just talking about Battlezone, even, which makes an early appearance in this.. Too bad this wasn't as comprehensive as it might have been. I do agree with sneakergimp though.
kanekong, for the resfest titles and a more comprehensive catalogue of his work go here:
click on 'view reels now'
on the right scroll down the 'reels tree' to 'rsa films', which has a sub-menu for all the currently signed directors.
this seems to be an installation video for an industry party rather than a music video. i think it's top notch. very archigram-inspired. if anyone has had the fortune of riding on any of Epcot's older educational rides like the one on the history of flight, you can totally see where this is coming from...
