If you go down to the woods today....love the ending!

this is superb. the more eccentric saam's work becomes, the better it is... and this is completely bananas. love or hate his work (i'm prone to a little of both) you have to admit he has an utterly unique vision.

erm... is it me, or was there something a bit off with the lighting & art department work here?

i liked saam's good shoes video, and the first couple for klaxons, but i'm really not into this 'computer geometry meets antique role games' aesthetic he's been developing. i find it very ugly and cold. Still - he gets props for doing his own thing...

I totally agree about the art department bit. That red box looks cheap and it makes the effects (ie. black liquid & dowel rods) look DIY. (Not that DIY is a bad thing. It just doesn't fit with the tone of this vid.)

It seems low budget for a Saam video, no?

Silly.

Gosh that was pretty turdy

Does anyone else have such a large output these days? I'm impressed that such a concept would come out with a halfway coherent vibe.

I dig the orthodox priest influence, although I have to say I find REAL orthodox priests to be much more odd/hilarious. Does anyone have a clip of that dude blessing the Republican convention in '04?? -j

Emperor's new clothes is right! Another super lame super gay video from the Saam camp.

People who are going to fault Saam vids for seeming "gay" should really know not to watch them at this point.
