Avicii "Hey Brother (YouTube Music Awards version)" (Spike Jonze, Chris Milk, dir.)

A "Live Short Film" written by Lena Dunham, co-directed by Spike Jonze and Chris Milk, and starring Michael Shannon, Dree Hemingway, Nick Lashaway and Vanessa Hudgens. It might look like a typical indie film scene, but only if you click away before YouTube Music Awards host Jason Schwartzman strolls out with a "Choose Your Own Adventure" twist.

Lady Gaga "Dope (YouTube Music Award version)" (Spike Jonze, Chris Milk, dir.)

There's not a director credit on this one. Instead, this in-character Lady Gaga performance is "documented" by Spike Jonze and Chris Milk. It's raw, bravely unstyled — yet, clearly "styled," if you know what I mean — and perhaps gunning to steal that up-close "real" emotional focus from Miley Cyrus.
