WATCH IT: Maylee Todd "Aerobics In Space" (J. Lee Williams, dir.)

Any one of the classic TV recreations in this video for Canadian space cadet Maylee Todd  would have been fine. Instead, director J. Lee Williams bounces all around the dial, sending up and paying tribute to everything from the campy cartoon Batman intro to Mork & Mindy to cop shows, sci-fi shows and so much more, culminating in a kung-fu bar scene that makes the crowd at the Mos Eisley Cantina seem normal. --> watch "Aerobics In Space"

WATCH IT: Guster "Do You Love Me" (Chad Calberg, dir.)

Here's one of those wonderful videos that seem little and simple, but really involved a tremendous amount of planning and work. First-time video director Chad Calberg orchestrates a stop-motion clip in which painter Jon Sarkin treats the backdrops and the guys of Guster as an everchanging canvas for his colorful creations inspired by the track.   --> watch "Do You Love Me" plus the original video pitch (for the video)
