Moones – Better Energy

A new video for a new British band called Moones by the American master animator/director Peter Sluszka, whose previous work includes various collaborations with Michel Gondry. From a wildly imaginative story developed by Peter and band founder Ollie Kristian.

Alt-J – Breezeblocks

Directed by Ellis Bahl, a young Brooklyn-based director, the video for Alt-J, another acclaimed new British band, begins with an image that tells of a terrible event. One short gripping drama.

Delta Heavy – Get By

Dubstep outfit Delta Heavy and director Ian Robertson’s video for Get By – another brilliant example of stop-motion animation, and a viral sensation.

Here We Go Magic – How Do I Know

Sean Pecknold is best known for his animation work, particularly for videos for his brother Robin’s band Fleet Foxes but he’s now come up with marvellous in live action. A slightly off-kilter yet uplifting and poignant prediction of near-future human/robot relations, which will evidently involve a lot of dancing.

Noisia – Could This Be

Noisia’s Could This Be is the latest collaboration between the Dutch electro-noiseniks and German director/animator Alexander Lehmann. Previously they worked together on the short film Exodus, which was distinguished by the slickest CGI, but here Alex takes a more deconstructed approach in his sequence of an aerial missile launch with an unexpected outcome.

Tenacious D – Rize of the Fenix

Special guests at our last show, the precociously talented LA-based directing duo known as DANIELS – that’s Dan Kwan and Dan Scheinert – continue their prolific run of dazzling work with another type of deconstructed video.

Lana Del Rey – Born To Die

BUG 31 special guest director Yoann Lemoine new work for Lana Del Ray.

Woodkid – Iron

More from our special guest Yoann Lemoine. Yoann is also know for his own successful musical project Woodkid that has now produced two memorable, closely-connected videos.

Woodkid – Run Boy Run

Special guest Yoann Lemoine second video for his own musical project under the name of Woodkid.

IA – Nihonbashi Koukashita R Keikaku

Unmistakeably from Japan. The video for Nihonbashi Koukashita R Keikaku, directed by Takuya Hosogane, one of Japan’s leading motion designers, feels like connected clips from `an animé movie or TV series, but its actually part of a music project called IA. It’s a delight – and it comes with its own Tumblr website.
