:

BUDHI BROWN - DEATH IS A FLOWER
Michael Medaglia - USA 2004
A music video for Death Is A Flower, a single off Budhi Brown's recently released album, The Time Or The Place. The video is reminiscent of an old black and white horror film, complimenting the band's 'rock noir' sound. It involves a man who sits in on what appears to be a simple magic act but then gets more than he bargained for.

CHOICES
Mr. Love - USA 2004
Everyday, we are faced with decisions...choices that may change our lives forever...he is the very reason why...

I TIKI U
Steven and BenniQue Blasini - USA 2003
A jaunty, rhythmic alternative pop-rock piece set to a tone poem describing the dreamy state of mind called Love. It's a visual reverie about the exclusive magic of affection and desire. It levitates...It transports...it transcends...it expounds on a phonetic transposition of 'te quiero' and lands us on the Planet Love.

INTO THE NIGHT
Pete Dionne - Canada 2004
The rock band 'Black Rice' are Vampire hunting mummies, who use their music to save a small town from terror.

ISSUES
Eric Woodland - USA 2004
I want to talk about something everybody's got.

MOVING ALONG
Patrick Smith - USA 2004
Dark imagery of conformity takes the screen as hip hop, rhythm and poetry are visualized in the Planets' track 'Moving Along.'

NOVA GROTESQUE-BURNING BEAUTIES
Steffi Ernst - Germany 2004
She wants to reach the forbidden fruit of the great white death, so that she is the one, the others put their eyes on. She runs and falls again, listen how her fans are laughing when she is coming. To die now would be perfection, to be born again even better-Finally: There she is again, transformed and animated in a world, she has made by herself, "Her greatest fan" is watching her and falls in love by digitality: Together in sweet harmony they have found, what all the others are looking for a lifetime: The luck of destroying beauties.

RUN RUN RUN - ALL OF A SUDDEN
David Schwarz, Eric Tu - USA 2004
We created a piece that focuses on color and texture - forcing the viewer to decipher its contents and create personal meaning out of the abstraction. In this process however, we unveil Run Run Run in their various moments of performance frozen in time.

SPACE HYMN
Hoag Holmgren - USA 2004
Half guided meditation, half techno-rock anthem, Lothar and the Hand People's psychedelic classic 'Space Hymn' (Capitol, 1969) is a tribute to the realms of inner and outer space we all inhabit. Space Hymn, the music video, creates visually what the song accomplishes aurally: a trance-like state of heightened awareness.
