35mm? Multi-cam HD? Hell no. Pearl Jam don't even bust out a Flip cam for this live concert video, reportedly opting instead for a Laptop with a built-in camera. No cuts, no nothing: Just an up-close look at Pearl Jam captivating a crowd of Berliners who get some camera time when the "camera" operator whips around in a 360 move that would make the average Steadicam pro weep. A good idea — whipped up by Bernard Shakey aka Neil Young — that certainly fits the band's notorious video ethos while being more captivating than you'd expect. --> watch "Unknown Thought"
The literally big headed trio of Kid Cudi, Vampire Weekend's Rostam Batmanglij and Best Coast singer Bethany Cosentino extol the virtues of Summer by staying indoors at a cluttered hipster loft. An odd choice perhaps — though not as odd as the giant head masks each performer wears — but being that the video is for clothing/sneaker brand
Converse and not for Ray Bans, there's really no need to wander out into the bright rays that pour through the windows. --> watch "All Summer" and download the track courtesy of Converse.com
