Woodkid | “I Love You” Video.

Yoann Lemoine, aka Woodkid, is one of the best music video directors in the business right now. He was responsible for Lana Del Rey’s infamous “Born To Die” and “Blue Jeans” videos (which are probably her best ones) and has been doing even more impressive work for himself. The thing about Woodkid is that his music videos tell a story, and he started off by introducing a number of characters in his first video for “Iron”, which also featured Agyness Deyn. Since then he has focused on a single character out of that original cast and made them the focus of his second, and now third videos. This time around the lead character is the priest played by Matvey Lykov. Up until now, the only downside of his work is that to me, his music seemed to be created to support and intensify his videos, and would not really make sense on their own, but “I Love You” is the first song that I’ve actually wanted to download, and I’m so happy that he’s finally started to make songs with less of a purely cinematic appeal.

The Top 10 Videos of 2012.

2012 has almost come to an end and I felt like it would appropriate to end off the year by looking back at all the best videos which made it so great. Also, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who’s been supporting TRMB since the beginning, and I promise to be a better blogger in 2013. I also have a few exciting things planned for the future, and I’m really excited to see how it all pans out. But until then, have fun reminiscing.

Grimes | “Nightmusic” Mash-up Video.

Holidays are a strange time for me. I find myself either doing nothing at all or things that are arguably unnecessary. This time around I got the idea that making a mash-up video for one of my favourite songs by Grimes was an excellent way to spend my morning, the outcome of which is basically a homage to my obsessions with:

1. Grimes

2. Slow motion

3. General weirdness

So in Love With Yoann Lemoine

Yoann Lemoine is undoubtedly my favourite music video director. In the past year he has produced some of the best videos I’ve ever seen (which includes the videos for Lana Del Rey’s “Born to Die” and “Blue Jeans”) and he just released his latest video for “Run Boy Run”, to which he also produced the music for under the stage name, Woodkid. The video improves on all the elements that made his first single, “Iron”, so inspiring. Watch it below.

If you haven’t seen the video for “Iron”, which features Agyness Deyn, here it is.
