WATCH IT: Kanye West "All Of The Lights" (Hype Williams, dir.)

It's a typographical maelstrom in this new Kanye West video featuring Rihanna and Kid Cudi. The multiple fonts and flashing lights and strobing memories are clearly inspired by the opening credits to the Gaspar Noe flick, Enter The Void, thus re-opening the already contentious issue of borrowed inspirations in music video. Just keep in mind that more people have seen the work of Gaspar Noe since this video was released than have ever even heard of the director. Just don't rent any of them for date night. Trust me. --> watch "All Of The Lights"

WATCH IT: Craig Wedren "Are We" panoramic video (Tim Nackashi, dir.)

Director Tim Nackashi creates an pretty amazing interactive 360 degree panoramic environment where you can click and drag all around to follow a sci-fi story. Keep an eye out for Craig Wedren, who you hopefully remember from the classic band Shudder To Think. --> watch/explore "Are We" (There is a flattened-out version too, but go for the panoramic one)
