Ever tried to read a video with bad encoding quality? the image would froze and pixelate…until it refreshes again.

Chairlift and director Ray Tintori thought it would be nice to use this effect on their song “Evident Utensil”. The band also did an ipod ad with their other song called “Bruises”.

This video is interesting but it make my eyes bleed…so here it is, enjoy!

you can check the video in even better quality here. The band also has a myspace here

Adam Espinoza a Motion Graphics Designer Art Director and Christophe Eagleton Sound Designer from the agency FL2 made this really nice kinetic typography video about the cigarrete and how the world has changed and banned it these years. They also made a website for this campaign at http://www.thecigaretteisdead.com/

Im actually happy this is happening. I don’t smoke and well as a non smoker i used to hate getting into some places like ‘bar tabacs’ in france…where you could buy things like stamps (yes, you better go there rather than the french post office)…anyway…the smoke was so heavy it would be awful (it was full of people smoking at the time)…now you can finally get in and buy things without being intoxicated….same goes for discotheques…i used to have my hair impregnated with the smoke….now i can go dancing and i don’t get that smoke in my hair and clothes ^_^

U2′s new single – Get on your boots

U2 is comming back! On march 3 they will release the album “No Line on the Horizon”.
The band just released a new single and video (made by director Malachy Mcanenny) wich is pretty well done, reminds me a bit of all those old videos but with a little glamour touch. Good art direction, The scenarios on the video are pretty cool and the song is nice.

Unfortunately their label Universal won’t let people embed the video on their blogs so you will have to watch it here (sorry!)

I know i could have linked and embed any other file in youtube with the same video (in better quality – because the label didn’t even bother to upload the high quality version) but i only linked the official video uploaded by the Universal because i don’t want any mess with them.

I hope labels will learn one day that blogs are a wonderful way of “free” advertising and bloggers are not there to steal them something or ruin artists.

get on your boots malachy mcanenny Music no line on the horizon U2 universal
