This week, I decided to tribute the great Michael Jackson in a way that only YouTube can. Oh, the things grown men will do when left alone in their mother’s basement…

This Week: A Tribute to a Legend

Try to ignore the pop-ups, they aren’t mine and I couldn’t find the original.

I don’t know what’s sadder, the fact that he chose “Man in the Mirror,” or the fact that he took the time to make props.

No tribute would be complete without the great Baby James!

Datarock – Give it Up

Dancing gangsters? Ridiculous.

Fires of Rome – Set in Stone (M83 Remix)

Fires of Rome – Set in Stone (M83 Remix) from Monte Lomax on Vimeo.

I have no idea what is going on in this video, but I like it.

Deichkind – Luftbahn

Deichkind – Luftbahn – Offizielles Musik Video

There is nothing more ridiculous than the Germans. Just ask David Hasselhoff.

The Ting Tings – We Walk

The Ting Tings have been featured in every Camera Trick installment I’ve ever done. I really dig their style.

Flight of the Conchords – Carol Brown (Choir of Ex-Girlfriends)

No installment of Crazy-Cool Camera Tricks would be complete without the king of cool camera tricks, Michel Gondry. I gotta get me one of them video switcher guitars.

NSM PSM – Clap Your Brains Off

This video was featured in the March issue of Amercan Cinematographer and for good reason. Director Frank Beltran shot the entire video on a Canon D1-EOS Mark III with a EF 16-35mm lens at 10 fps in JPEG format. He then used some fancy plugins to recreate M.C. Escher’s famous “Droste Effect.” When I grow up, I want to be as creative as this guy.

These videos always come in threes. I don’t know why, but without fail, whenever I find 2 videos with similar styles, a third one will always follow. It took a month or so for this one to show itself.

This Week: The Moving Tableaux

Adele – Chasing Pavements

I love Adele and the morbid beauty of this video. A perfect match.

Thunderheist – Nothing2Step2

This was that elusive 3rd video. Not as good as the other 2, but still pretty damn cool.

Oren Lavie – Her Morning Elegance

Thanks to Yancy for sharing this one. At least I think it was him. I’ve had many of these types of mornings since then.

Whether it be music, literature, film, photography, or fine art, my life is nothing but a quest to find those perfect pieces to fill the tiny moments of my existence.

Today, when I set out to do this post, I had completely different intentions. I knew which videos I wanted to feature and decided to just check in on a few of the music video sites I frequent. I was just about to quit and go on to write this post, when I came across the video below. No other music video has ever fit a moment of an existence as perfectly as this video fit mine today.

So without further ado, I give you The Perfect Video:

UNKLE – Heaven


This video proves once again that Spike Jonze is the ultimate music video master.

Christina Aguilera – The Voice Within

I don’t care if she’s bubblegum pop, she’s still got an amazing voice, and this video is simply beautiful.

Lykke Li – Tonight

Dig that sound.

Sinead O’Connor – Nothing Compares 2U

This video is a classic, and probably the start of all this stripped down simplicity.

Instead of doing the typical Favorite Video Friday this week, I decided to give myself some time to gather a new crop of videos so I could give you a more quality post in the future and just post this one video that’s more like 25 videos in one.

This week: 2008

DJ Earworm – United States of Pop 2008

This is one of the best mashups I’ve seen in a long time.

This week: Into the Woods

Goldfrapp – A & E

There’s something strangely hypnotic about this video.

The Raconteurs – Old Enough

I’m convinced Jack White can’t make a bad video.

Modest Mouse – People as Places as People

Moral of the story: don’t chop up your daughter’s boyfriend and throw him in the fire, or your daughter may get sucked into the world of the tree-men.
