Had a friend in town last week that lit up a cigarette every five minutes. Sorry my friend, but that wasn’t San Francisco Fog, it was a cloud of smoke following you around everywhere.

Trippy video for song Vital Signs by Midnight Juggernauts directed by Krozm. The new album,The Crystal Axis, comes out on May 28th. Is it me or are they channeling some David Bowie?

Chocolate Bunny – a film by Lernert Engelberts & Sander Plug

Turn the music down on this one, it’s awful. Silence would have been more effective.

Commercial for British Walkers Baked Chips or “crisps” using Air’s song Sexy Boy. It’s a little Abercrombie & Fitch meets Herb Ritts on the bus.

I am loving the work of Radical Friend. Their new video for Yeasayer’s track One is an 80s new wave meets 90s rave with a touch of 70s Pink Floyd. Check out the Dark Bubbles video and read more about them at the Spy Films blog.

This video is channeling Russ Myer, Windy O’ Williams in Reform School Girls, Natural Born Killers, and finally Thelma and Louise. What am I missing? See if you can find Gaga as her brunette self in the video. I must say, it’s pretty damn fun to watch!

Noisia -- Machine Gun

Have you have ever watched old episodes of The Addams Family on TV and wondered what was in the box that the disembodied hand, better known as Thing, popped out of? Well this video, by Dutch electronic band Noisia, might give you a clue. Warning to my vegetarian and vegan friends, this is a meat eater video and might make you wanna go out and throw blood on some animal-wearing fashionista. Also, I don’t particularly like the song, it’s a little too head bangin’ for me but if you really want a visual WTF, then turn it down and play a Mariah Carey or Miley Cyrus song with it. I bet Thing would totally be down with those two awful creatures.

Excerpt of Metropolis by Rob Carter

You can view the entire video at his website.

Metropolis is a quirky and very abridged narrative history of the city of Charlotte, North Carolina. It uses stop motion video animation to physically manipulate aerial still images of the city (both real and fictional), creating a landscape in constant motion. Starting around 1755 on a Native American trading path, the viewer is presented with the building of the first house in Charlotte. From there we see the town develop through the historic dismissal of the English, to the prosperity made by the discovery of gold and the subsequent roots of the building of the multitude of churches that the city is famous for. Now the landscape turns white with cotton, and the modern city is ‘born’, with a more detailed re-creation of the economic boom and surprising architectural transformation that has occurred in the past 20 years.

Those Naughty French

Aides Graffiti directed Yoann Lemoine for TBWA Paris.

Smart and super creative ad for a French aids prevention campaign. Of course nothing this smart would ever show on American television for reasons that run deeper than just puritan prudishness.
