COMBO a collaborative animation by Blu and David Ellis (2 times loop) from blu on Vimeo.

Blu continues his barrage of politically-oriented commentary this year, this time with an animated piece from Poland.

Grizzly Bear – While You Wait for the Others from Grandchildren on Vimeo.

I don’t mean to undermine this tremendous 4-week effort by the production team on this video, but despite the strong visual component I couldn’t find very much that felt connected with the song. Looking nice for the sake of looking nice without a strong element to tie everything together. Nonetheless, kudos to GB for being one of the few bands who continue to find interesting directors to shoot far-from-traditional vids.

Ohbijou – New Years from explodingmotorcar on Vimeo.

Don’t think we can go a week, let alone a few days without encountering some sort of time-lapse or stop-motion vid popping up. Well, if it works — gotta run with it. Love the art direction in this piece, invoking thoughts of fantasy epics of old like The Dark Crystal or The Neverending Story.
