Top 5: Low fi music vids
Posted on 02.12.08 by hardrockchick @ 3:08 pm

OK Go: Here It Goes Again. All well choreographed and well practiced dance moves make this seem higher budget than it is.

Mickey Avalon: Waiting to Die. Shot with a cell phone.

Beck: Elevator Music. Beck released 2006’s The Information, with a video for every song; most of them low budget.

Snoop Dogg: Sensual Seduction. Worn out VHS tape style.

A Place to Bury Strangers: I Know I’ll See You. Shot using a webcam from the director’s home in LA and the band was in their RV.

Top 5: Music Video directors
Posted on 01.28.08 by hardrockchick @ 12:51 am

1. Spike Jonze

Fatboy Slim/Praise You. To put himself in the starring role took something all by itself. And it was very timely, hitting in 1999, right before reality television took off.

Beastie Boys/Sabotage. He took the already cool Beastie Boys and made them cooler.

Fatboy Slim/Weapon of Choice. Two words: Christopher Walken. Two more words: Can Dance.
