WMVP035 - Tricycle Days by Mint

Artist: Mint
Track: Tricycle Days
Director: Robert Hackett

This week's video for London electronica artist Mint asks the question, 'What's the most fun thing to do in a swimming pool?'

Director Robert Hackett answers it by having various people including people in evening dress and clowns simply swimming in front of an underwater camera.

A very simple, mellow video for a very simple, mellow song.

WMVP034 - Dear Dictator by Saint Motel

Artist: Saint Motel
Track: Dear Dictator
Director: Carlos Lopez Estrada

After a week off due to hosting issues WMVP is back and better than ever.

This weeks video features Los Angeles band Saint Motel tell the story of a dictator through his rise and fall. Often song titles are metaphorical, but in this case it's actually about a dictator.

In the video directed by Carlos Lopez Estrada we see a single small set that is constantly redecorated to tell the story. It's kind of a mixture of video and making-of. The set is redressed by the extras, and here's another interesting factor. They are girls wearing underwear, boots and military helmets. Not as sleazy as it sounds and fits nicely with the tone of the video. A really nice piece of work.

WMVP033 - Silence by Takka Takka

Artist: Takka Takka
Track: Silence
Director: Amy Finkel (Sailor Beware)

Another stop-motion animated effort this week. Director Amy Finkel has created a huge battle between toy soldiers and monsters. So far so normal. The interesting bit is that the battle is fought over the naked bodies of the band.

Another video that makes you look at the ordinary in a very new way.

WMVP032 - White Piano by Dutchess

Artist: Dutchess
Track: White Piano
Director: Timothy McConville

I've got myself some shiny new editing software this week so hopefully the files will be smoother from now on.

This week we have a stop-motion animated video from a band who's drummer happens to be a director. That's handy.

Timothy McConville of New York band Dutchess provides an interesting video that has a street level view of New York. A great idea that makes you think about your surroundings in a different way.

Independently of this show the video was also featured on the excellent $99 Dollar Music Videos and there is also an interview with McConville.
