Director Rogier van der Zwaag, describes this music video for Nobody Beats the Drum as dark and dirty. It sure looks like an icky place to be! NBTD is a Dutch breakbeat formation with a knack for word play and of course a talent for great electro beats. In fact, beats are the most important thing to them. Hence the name, which is really just a very smart if you think about it. Their track, Quit Your Job, directed by Rogier is disturbing and kind of Chris Cunninham-ish. See the promo and read what Rogier has to say about it:

Are we being visually abused or is Nils Muhlenbruch abusing the visual images? Maybe the images are about abuse? What ever the case, one cannot argue that the words “visual” and “abuse” are sufficient to describe the content and maybe even the style of this short, but it is not enough to sum up the experience, which is best described as “overpowering, eclectic and maybe a little crazy”. Nils uses bright colours, a mixed palette and some incredible imagery. Look out for the leek.

Motomichi - our beloved master of primary colors white, black and red - did this new music video for Temposhark - an indie-electro band out of the UK. Temposhark just released this catchy yet tragic rock-pop-love song called Blame. Not that Motomichi's other stuff is all happy, happy, joy, joy, but this vid is one of his darker works, with spiders crawling from the eyes and a fatalistic jump from a high building.

Sometimes old News is good news. This little fire cracker of a film, by the Amsterdam design collective News was first screened as an installation piece at an Amsterdam edition of the RESFest Digital Film Festival in 2005. You might want to see this, you might not. That sort of depends on if you are a serious sneaker fetishist, for whom this movie might be painful to watch. The pair of sneaks featured are the collectors item Air Jordans IV that took the world by storm back in 1989 and currently have a going rate of approximately $400. Whether or not this is a statement about our society being materialistic, it’s as close to literally burning money as you can get. Figuratively speaking of course.

For all of you concerned citizens out there, we now present to you a public information film about climate change and what YOU can do about it. Okay, we know your not used to this from Submarinechannel but believe us, this is worth. It has been directed and animated by Airside and commissioned by Live Earth. Funny, brilliant, lively and bursting with colour, this is a do-good, feel-good short.
