Vampire Weekend and Typography

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

Although there are parts of this I think could be improved upon. The idea from June Harrild is just wonderful. I would love it if bands actually commissioned someone to do this to correspond with the song and the standard music video because I think it really helps bring clarity out of songs like Vampire Weekend’s typical stuff. Plus, it also more clearly lays out the specific lyrics for those of us who have a tendency to not realize they’ve been singing a song wrong for years (notice I did not fully admit anything there). Anyway, motion typography + Vampire Weekend = a good start to your Wednesday morning, am I right?

(Best sequence is from 2:40-2:45 in my opinion)

Motion Blur

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

I’m not sure whether or not all of the motion blur in this video was intentional or not, however it alone makes this video watchable. Surprisingly, the guy who made it (Rob Wilson) was in high school at the time which kind of adds to the innocence of the video (if you see this post Rob don’t take that comment as derogatory – it’s a positive thing). Love some of the bike shots along the sand near the water. Song was from Angus & Julia Stone and I figured this post might be an uplifting start to your week (for those of you who were off yesterday for Memorial Day like I was – hence the no posts from yesterday).

Be sure to check back later today for the next post – very neat idea for a wedding invitation.

Have a wonderful Tuesday!

AudioBullys – One Man

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

This is the latest music video from AudioBullys – a band I hadn’t heard of until this video – for their song, “One Man.” Now, if it’s a band I should know don’t hold that against me as I’m slowly being acclimated to bands I feel I’ve been missing out on the past couple of years. Anyway, this is super creative and inspiring so I decided I’d drop it into the blog for you to see. My favorite parts are when the stereotypical promo cards have video rolling in place of backgrounds. I collect those cards because they fascinate me so naturally I enjoyed that.

Video directed by Jonas & Francois. (Mad props fellas!)

Oh – and am I the only one bothered by the band’s inability to spell the plural form of “bully?” Kids these days.
