QUICK CLIP: Tom Vek "Aroused" (Saam, dir.)

Is it a commentary that smoking is the lazy way of defining a character on-screen — sexy, cool, croupish — or is smoke really just that sexy? --> watch "Aroused"

QUICK CLIP: Ucture "Abstructurate" (Boris Wilmot, dir.)

Billed as a "teaser" and really more of a motion graphics showcase than a proper video, this clip for electronic musician Ucture plays with particles that combine and break apart to form various objects. As in, the abstraction of various structures. --> watch "Abstrucate" (teaser)

WATCH IT: Macklemore/Ryan Lewis "Wings" (Zia Mohajerjasbi, dir.)

Is that all there is to basketball shoes and playing pick-up games? Is that all there is? Seattle rapper Macklemore and producer Ryan Lewis combine on an epic video — check this site, loveandshoestrings.com all about it — that's essentially a realization that Air Jordan and all your other childhood fixations are just as meaningless as everything else in this world. Same message as Peggy Lee's existential classic"Is That All There Is," just with a beat and different examples. --> watch "Wings"
