The video below is part of Vincent Moon's Take-away shows series, filming bands in long takes in natural settings playing their music. Below is a video of Grizzly Bear, a band that I like a lot, singing The Knife accapella in the streets. There is another great one of Arcade Fire playing Neon Bible in an elevator. It's a creative, simple idea -- an interesting blend of documentary, performance and music video. Rather than elevating the musicians and bands into these icons that seem untouchable or creating a mystique around them, these videos make them seem like the real, albeit talented and magnetic, people that they are. It also illustrates that you don't need a lot of money or fancy equipment to create a striking, interesting piece. I like these better than 90% of music videos out there.

More video directors...
Some additions to the other video directors I named yesterday in class. I've provided links if you want to check their stuff out.
Michael Palmieri. He has some great still shots on his website too...in case you're looking for one for your assignment for tomorrow.
Anton Corbijn. He also has photos and other work on his site .
Stephane Sednaoui is another one.
The Directors Bureau has links to 11 directors who work on videos, commercials and shorts. Patrick Daughters and Shynola have done some innovative work. You can watch their reels or any particular video or commercial. Daughters' videos for Feist's "1,2,3,4" and "Mushaboom" are great.
Matt McCormick has directed videos, short docs, and experimental films. He has stills on his site too.
The Lomographic Society is another great place to look online for interesting stills. It centers around their cameras. Anyone who has a Lomo camera can put them up here and create their own lomopage. I had a Lomo and loved it until it broke. I'm looking to get another one. They also manufacture Holgas, which are also great, cheap, interesting cameras. I have two of them and don't use them enough.
