This Friday, we’re giving our collective weekly shout out to our appreciation of simple, yet suggestive animations. This is the new clip for electro artist Sebastien Tellier’s new track and may we say that we like it. It’s hypnotic, imaginative, sexy, yet artistic. No wonder it’s French. Well done Mrzyk and Moriceau for directing our favourite clip of the week. See you Monday y’all!

We’re running out of things to say about OK Go and their music video exploits. In fact, we’d rather not talk about them at all. But when clips this genius come along, you just have to shut up and post. Apparently this took three months to set up. Set your faces to stunned.

You probably know by now that here at Hype DC, we don’t mind a bit of stop frame animation. It takes us back to making flip books in our note pads at school or those weird old silent movie machines they have at The Pancake Parlour. Exponentially more sophisticated but still based on the age old principal of shooting still images of painstakingly small movements, is this Dutch clip for the track “Grindin’” by Nobody Beats The Drum. It incorporates some 400 wooden blocks, just like the ones you had when you were a little tacker. The effect is dazzling, slightly hypnotic and totally banging. Enjoy.

This is the kind of flip book animation you’d make during a boring period of high school. If you were a teacher. Witness the history of the world in just over three minutes and heck knows how many pages. It even has a Flying Circus reference. How teacherly is that? We say well done sir. Well done indeed!
