I was wondering when someone would try to animate some Obey work - it's OK, looks a bit cheaply done. Friendly Fires is my favourite.

I love this video that my friends made: http://www.whatkatiedoes.net/2009/01/fanfarlo-harold-t-wilkins-video.html

N.A.S.A.'s video makes for more impressive viewing at higher resolution(YouTube removed the better version last month). Watch it on Vimeo instead: http://vimeo.com/2555969

The Chicken loves this tune and the artworks amazing,its like a kick in the balls for all those greedy bankers and multi-nationals. We need more music with strong messages like this ,the Government and the media turning the next Generation into Zombies.

Yeah because a music video with pseudo-rebellious images and messages is truly revolutionary! Does it not strike you as a massive contradiction that the 'subversive' messages is actually used to promote and sell pretty poor music; hence fueling an industry inherently part of the capitalist system? Also the fact that Shepard Fairey, initially a challenging graffiti artist, has subsequently sold out by selling merchandise and again promoting the ideologies he aims to tackle?

Rant over.

Other than that Friendly Fires video was ok.

well said and fair point, sort of reminds me of adam freeland using a bill hicks sample to sell his record we want your soul, in a song about marketing people using culture trends to sell products........ahhh the irony, still im having a similar issue with this piece I did....

using broadcast material to create an uncopyrighted video about larry lessig [creative commons head honcho] and stephen colbert, hence ive made the video downloadable for others to remix which aleviats the artistic endevour a wee bit.

2D illustrations are translated to a moving 3D fantasy world, explaining “The Big Bank Theory”. The commercial tells a story of cute little creatures trying to store their gold. A story about the growth of the banking world, merging of banks, managers needing managers and the amount of money this costs: Big Banks spill the little creatures' gold. A tough, simple message, pictured in an eloquent symbolic and poetic language.

Graphic designer Paul Postma and illustrator Raoul Deleo animated a 3D commercial for Dutch bank Alex. It is released on Dutch public and commercial television this week.

This is also amazing - not quite a promo, but it features Reyn doing a live remix of Bjork's 'I've Seen It All' from 'Dancer In The Dark'. He's doing the whole thing live, playing parts, sampling, triggering, and them playing over it. Bloody brilliant.
