Edith Piaf - La foule

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010
I already loved Arcade Fire and their new album ‘The Suburbs‘ before I stumbled upon this brilliant interactive video by Chris Milk and I love them even more now! Incorporating the viewers own home town imagery with the Arcade Fire track ‘We Used To Wait’ playing over the top really makes the subject matter and lyrics much more relevant.

I’m here - A short film by Spike Jonze
Friday, March 12th, 2010I saw this a while ago but I just stumbled upon it again, looks absolutely brilliant.
Gravenhurst, Nightwatchman’s Blues
Tuesday, January 5th, 2010Gravenhurst have interested me for quite some time now and this particular video has quite an interesting story behind it. Each frame of the videos animation has been made into a one off album cover screen print. A really great idea and a very nice way to literally incorporate the album artwork with the tracks meaning and story.
The director of this video Thomas Hicks has worked with Gravenhurst over the past few years on some great projects. Check out some more of his videos here.

Aside from being an absolutely gorgeous site design Andreas Lutz’s website is also impressive because the user can interact with it through voice and gestures. Using your webcam you can use hand movements to navigate through his portfolio of music, site design and games. You can also use voice activation to navigate from one section to another for example by saying “music” you can be taken to the music section. This site is just really impressive, check it out!
La Roux’s ace website
Friday, August 21st, 2009
It’s three in the morning and I’ve just stumbled upon La Roux’s website, which I think is awesome by the way! I found it through http://www.waste-creative.com/ a creative agency based in London. The look and feel of La Roux’s website really reminds me of Bladerunner the movie and especially the game. For quite some time I was obsessed with that film. The amazingly seedy and grimy scenes of future city life are truely amazing. The game which was based on the movie really captured the dystopian atmosphere with excellent animated scenes painstakingly recreated from the movie with brilliant sound effects too. Anyway back to La Roux, when I think about it La Roux’s style really ties in well with Bladerunner’s 80’s perspective on the future. Everything from La Roux’s fashion styles, album artwork and even her haircut seem to be a more popy take on an 80’s view of futuristic, does that make sense? Anyway I think the main reason I like the site so much is because it really capture’s the ‘bladerunneresque’ atmosphere very well. www.laroux.co.uk
The Drums
