Piccadilly furs & Camera tests
I have been looking to upgrade my camera. My main camera consists of a VX1000 from the early 90′s. I have been looking at the Red camera but it is outside of my budget by at least 10k. The new Sony XDCAM EX1 fits nicely in my budget (well, not yet but very soon).
Philip Bloom bought one of these cameras very recently. His first shoot produced this stunning video…
Note: It is always about the shooter and never about the camera but I am nevertheless super excited.

Lollipop
I guess the perfect word to describe this video for Mika‘s song is: sweet. Even tho’ is not so innocent as it could appear…
Realized at Passion by Bonzom, a collective of French directors.

LoveLikeFire – “I Will”
The cinematography is simply wonderful. The multi-channel (split-screen) creates a rhythmic ripple that begs to be touched.
Tom Baxter – “Better”
One of the sweetest videos I have seen in a while. Love emanates from every frame. Awesome. It is in the running for best music video of the year but is already my pick for the best in the “Love” category.
From Josh & Xander, we previously featured their video for Cat Power’s Where is My Love?

Lodger – I Love Death
A story that moves at the speed of light.
Lodger is back for more twisted musical animation. See the entire life of a stick figure in under four minutes. From a very wrong conception, to sleeping in school to endless work-a-days, Lodger captures the futility (and repetition) of life and sets it to a rollicking good rock song.
I love those subways!
Watch it (at Atom films, you have to endure a quick commercial before the film)
The War
It’s hard to fight an enemy who has outposts in your head. (Sally Kempton)
Shilo collaborated with singer Tom Delonge to conceive, design, direct, composit and edit this short film, which also happens to be a music video for the Angels and Airwaves‘ song with the same name.
“We wanted to portray the struggles between conformity and individuality; the games we play in our own minds; being a pawn in society. The artistry ultimately stems from taking two contrary things and making a third something from their collision.” (Source: We Make it Good)
