the interesting & "well designed" music video thread

[greedo]

I tend to show a lot of music videos when I teach graphic design - i find that film and GD are extremely closely related and music video is one of the more interesting short-form video mediums out there.

so, i am always on the lookout for interesting, unusual, and generally well-done music videos and i have found that visual designers and artists tend to have the best taste. What have you seen that you like?

A few i saw recently:

Just caught this this AM, directed by Garth Jennings - Vampire Weekend: "Cousins"

Amazing and done all "in camera" so to speak (what and you will see what i mean): SOUR - "Hibi no niero"

New York Film Critics Circle chairman Armond White is presenting an evening of Michael Jackson's music videos at Lincoln Center this Sunday. If you can get there, you don't want to miss it.

I think this one is pretty cool: Oren Lavie "Her Morning Eleganice"

How about White Stripes "Hardest Button to Button"

And of course White Stripes "Fell in Love With a Girl"

Those are just a few that came to mind

This video by Yellow Magic Orchestra is pretty nifty (considering the time period it was made in).
