Right. Kanye West co-directed this music video with Spike Jonze. Uh huh. Just because you come up with the idea doesn’t mean that you direct it Kanye. I come up with ideas all the time, and yet I still don’t see my name on MTV or Vh1. Stop being such an asshole about your videos, Squid [...]

Pet Shop Boys – Miracle

Summer Storm. Great, Gay, and Seriously Good Looking.

With slow and achingly gorgeous graphics, from falling water to smashing beams of light, this [...]
Site Specific Movements
September 4, 2008
The OMODAKA movement seems to be the answer to my obsession with site specific music videos. Visuals that line up in perfect harmony with the beat to the song, speeding up and slowly down in order to accomodate the tempo…Now that’s my idea of a perfect film.
As the site states, OMODAKA “is the name of [...]
