New Visionaries - Auteurs. Tom Hall

Chris Cunningham

Artist: The Horrors
Track: Sheena is a Parasite
URL: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v+gZMrwZltOGE

This video uses strobe lighting and quick, fast cuts to create a surreal environment to highlight the undesirable attributes of Sheena.

Artist: Placebo
Track: 36 Degress
URL: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=T0RpShS5FeQ

The make up and the displacement of air for water demonstrates a certain deathly feel to the video.  The floating guitar at the end of the video suggests definitely that the owner, is now dead.

Michael Gondry

Artist: Daft Punk
Track: Around the World
URL: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=K0HSD_i2DvA

This simple video has no story, but simply illustrates the songs lyric "Around the World" by a group of surreal characters travelling around in a circular motion what is currently considered to be the world.

Artist: The Vines
Track: Ride

This performance based video uses a number of shots to show the band in action. A perspective from outside the room through glass shows us the audience. The multiplication of band is effective use of the large space.
