Ice-Cream is no ordinary music video, but then Battles are no ordinary band, and it would seem that directors ‘Canada’ are no ordinary film directors. The content of the five minute parade ranges from over-sized ice-creams, girls licking stuff they shouldn’t, cheescake, ice-cream fights, karate, stripes, bubblegum and for some reason it all fits together as if found in the same brightly coloured box in a rainbow garage. The whole thing feels like a dream I’ve been trying to have my whole life and I urge you to drift away with me.

A video that was released in March, but I only found it out today … Thank you mom! A superb chain reaction, with a nice end ! Ok Go ! This too shall pass. Video director : James Frost.
James Frost on the video :
This was a truly collaborative effort of the highest order. The video is an accumulation of several months of extreme dedication and hard work, most notably by the band and Syyn labs. I first became involved last September when OK Go’s Damian Kulash contacted me and asked if I was interested. After meeting up with Damian, Tim and Adam Sadowsky (from Syyn Labs) to have the concept explained, and what they were going to try and achieve, I said, “count me in!” [...]
The shoot was a surreal experience, we had three teams of people all after the same common goal – the engineers, the film crew, led by Producer Shirley Moyers (who had the impossible task of holding this thing together), and the band. It was a real collective team spirit led by Damian Kulash and his amazing skill to keep everyone energized and on their toes.
Two days and close to 60 takes later, we had made it to the other side, tired and weary but proud.
“Lara Vs The Savage Pack”, by Midnight Juggernauts. Shot frame by frame and then printed onto 2,000 pieces of paper. Directed by Lucinda Schreiber & Beatrice Pegard. Lucinda Schreiber also directed that beautiful “Autumn Story” video.
New video for Uffie – Difficult, directed by the Parisian collective AB/CD/CD, who had also made the Lily Allen video – Fuck you. It takes a lot of Michel Gondry’s ideas, from his Kylie Minogue video – Come into my World – 2007 (second video down here).
Remember that post about the last video of M.I.A., XXXO ? She just buy an url for her new clip : http://yesthelittlepeoplewillneverwinbuttheycanfuckshitup.com and strike again with the internet style featuring all across her new album, /\/\ /\ Y /\. It looks like a continuous flow of internet detritus, dotted with some “what’s the word?” catcha boxes pop-up. The song is not very good… but the scrappy video artwork worth the click.
