Brilliant video by Hold Your Horses for their song 70 Million. How many paintings do you recognize?
French beatbox artist Incredible Polo is making the Web that much funkier with his Flash beatbox website. Warning: these beats will build a nest in your brain and refuse to move out. Check him out in some of his You Tube videos below.
Animated by Titmouse, Inc., the Fray’s video for their cover of “Heartless” is elegant and hearkens back to simpler days stuck in class behind a classroom crush.
The music video for Coldplay’s Strawberry Swing is yet another brilliant piece of stop motion artistry making the rounds. Directed by Shynola, this video stands out for the sheer time and work involved in redrawing the chalk backgrounds for each frame. Incredible.
Below are two other notable stop motion videos in the past few months: “Her Morning Elegance,” “Sorry I’m Late,” and the “Stop Motion with Wolf and Pig.”
‘Ukulele sensation Taimane Gardner lit up this year’s Roy Sakuma ‘Ukulele Festival. The family and I were just about to leave, when her rendition of Johnny Be Good stopped us with the classic “WTF?” look on our faces. Her skills on the strings are mesmerizing and her stage presence draws you in like a true entertainer.
If you ever have a chance, check out her live performances. Better yet, support her and make your iPod happy by purchasing a CD.
This music video will blow your mind out of your smiling face. Directed by Masashi Kawamura, Hal Kirkland, Magico Nakamura, and Masayoshi Nakamura.
