OK GO: WTF music video

Ninja December 2nd, 2009

ok-go-wtf-music-video

OK GO is responsible for a lot of my procrastination. They made me want to dance along with A Million Ways,  and I can’t even begin to tell you how many times I’ve replayed their synchronized treadmill dancing video for Here It Goes Again.

WTF? is the lead single off the bands forthcoming third album, Of The Blue Colour Of The Sky, slated for release on January 12, 2010.

Masters of the single-take, OK GO does it again. This music video for WTF? is no different, except that there’s no dancing, Tim is not lip syncing to Damian’s vocals, and there’s a lot more green screen and gaffer tape. Take a look at the pretty colors and Muybridge trails:

Directed by Tim Nackashi

Behind-the-scenes with commentary by OK GO’s Damian Kulash and Tim Nordwind

Laugh with Ricky Gervais

Personal hygiene with Ernie

Sing with Jon Stewart

I <3 Stewart, but singing should probably be left to the pros ~__^

Count with Feist

It pays to be persistent with David Beckham

And my personal favorite

Scarlett Johansson & Pete Yorn duet

Ninja October 6th, 2009

scarlett-johansson-pete-yorn-duet

Oh no, not another actress/singer, I groaned to myself. But Scarlett Johansson’s twangy vocals on Relator complement Pete Yorn’s catchy ’60s tunes quite well. Relator is the first single off of Pete and Scarlett’s album, Break Up. Inspired by the collaboration between Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot, this album includes eight original songs (plus a cover of I Am the Cosmos).

HunterGatherer’s creative process

Ninja October 5th, 2009

HunterGatherer is an award-winning design, illustration, animation and production studio founded by Todd St. John. Here’s a look into their creative process.

It’s more an enjoyment of the craft and of the process and being able to work with tactile things instead of computer models, although those are fun sometimes too… I spend very little time knowing sort of what’s going on with the latest camera or software or things like that and probably more time and trying to come up with custom ways of doing stuff. If you can have a process that’s different, you’re going to have a result that’s different.
