Jin Monic: Hateful

Mina Zlateva | Bulgaria | 2016 | 5 min

The music video for Hateful was inspired by its lyrics. It author, who is, among other things, also a painter and a sculptor, specializes in hand-drawn animation. But in this music video, she also used computer animation. On a black background, she works with bright colours and their combination which enables the music video to metamorphose in rich and colourful images.

The Avalanches: Subways

Mrzyk & Moriceau Mrzyk & Moriceau | France | 2016 | 4 min

French illustrators Mrzyk & Moriceau have been collaborating since 1999. Their inventive music video is set in the New York Subway. It is a place where various characters with different personalities and of different social classes meet, and the carriages together with the platforms and underpasses turn into a dancefloor resonating with the singing of the passengers.

Mutanti Hledaj Východisko: Andělé přileťte pro mě

Josef Lepša | Czech Republic | 2016 | 5 min

In a smooth single-take ride, the author takes us all the way from the underground to heaven through a modern industrial building. Mutanti hledaj východisko’s music video may have a slower tempo, but its atmosphere is all the more deep and intense. And that makes it a perfect addition to the lyrics.

Hadag Nahash & Infected Mushroom: Legal Eyes

Daniel Sasson, Robert Moreno, Tal Zagreba | Israel | 2017 | 4 min

This inventive music video about the legalization of marijuana combines animation with live-action footage and uses everything that was on a work table – including weed. The author managed to cleverly and unobtrusively combine hand animation (drawings and stop-motion) with computer animation.

Charles X: Can You Do It?

Quentin Baillieux | France | 2016 | 3 min

This clip is a beautiful merging of the typically highbrow sport of horse racing with the commonly misrepresented “mean streets” of Pacoima, the proud birthplace of Charles X. It challenges any stereotypes or preconceptions of race and social class which may exist in modern day society.

El Toto Café: Ginger Beer

Macchia Ornella, Medard Simon | Belgium | 2016 | 3 min

This abstract and largely hand-drawn choreography is a tribute to classical animation and also to ginger beer. Every particle and shape dances on real paper, appears, disappears and metamorphoses. We slowly come to the conclusion that these shapes brought to life by crayons and colours are actually the ingredients of the popular beverage.

DVA: Vespering

Jaromír Plachý | Czech Republic | 2016 | 3 min

It can be safely said that Jaromír Plachý is a specialist in making music videos for DVA. After his successful music videos for Nunovó tango (2009) and Mulatu (2014), he made an animated music video for Vespering. The film depicting a little boy’s dream once again shows the director’s artistic symbiosis of the grotesque with a slight horror-like deformity and the musical style of the popular Czech duo.

Chelou: Halfway to Nowhere

Polly Nor, Andy Baker | United Kingdom | 2016 | 4 min

This interesting story follows a woman trapped in a devilish fantasy. In this grotesque world, the woman gets lost between her demons and repressed thoughts until she finally finds and accepts herself. The distinct artistic style of the music video is characterized by brilliant drawings animating the problems and phobias which the woman desperately tries to force out.

Čisté Tvary: Blood as Heavy Flooding Water

Marián Vredík | Slovakia | 2016 | 8 min

For the music video for Krv ako hustá tečie Voda, director Marián Vredík drew inspiration from writer Gustav Meyrink’s quote: “Humans think that they create thoughts with their brains, but the reality is that the thoughts control the brain and are more independent than many human beings.” Disturbing images fluidly transform from black-and-white to colours.

Hoji Tsuchiya | Japan, Germany | 2016 | 3 min

This Japanese-German music video for the catchy song Spring Time-Old Man is an animated collage. We see a man who decides to say his goodbyes to the world on a beautiful spring day. The author glued and unglued many layers on one sheet of paper and used rich colours and manifold motifs.

Nevermen: Mr Mistake

Sarina Nihei | United States, Japan | 2016 | 3 min

A girl walks through a world which changes in front of her eyes, or rather behind her back. This rhythmical music video with an environmental message was made by a Japanese director who studied animation in Great Britain. Her style, known from her successful short film Small People with Hats, blends European and Japanese influences but remains distinct and original.

The Cultural Studies: Recycled Press

Lenka Mišincová, Radovan Marček | Czech Republic | 2016 | 5 min

Lenka Mišincová’s and Radovan Marček’s music video is a perfect example of a combination of techniques with the predominant one being hand animation of cut-outs from newspapers. Through images and animation, the authors are trying to convey one particular message: however objective the media may seem, perception of individual pieces of information will always be subjective and depend on the reader’s interpretation.

Omodaka: Social Near-Death Sensations (S.N.S.)

Teppei Maki | Japan | 2016 | 3 min

The society that the authors have focused on is Japan right after it was hit by a massive earthquake five years ago. This animation was produced as overlapping situations that are condensed into an increase in social crime, political instability and serious environmental problems. These are, in a sense, Japanese social near-death experiences.

Robert Pospiš & Martin Sillay: V tom šírom poli

Andrej Kolenčík | Slovakia | 2016 | 5 min

The author of this notable black-and-white music video for V tom šírom poli is Andrej Kolenčík, known under the nickname Admiral. The song, much like the music video itself, was inspired by a dark Slovakian ballad about a coldblooded murderer. The director managed to intensify the gloomy atmosphere.

Caravan Palace: Wonderland

Kevin Phung | France | 2016 | 4 min

The director of the pleasantly stylized music video for Wonderland used a variety of animation techniques, including rotoscoping. He managed to portray convincing dance moves resonating with the rhythmical music. A young girl takes us on a journey through her fantasies and dreams, which significantly differ from her real life – and not only in colours.

The Animators: Oh My

Tess Martin | Netherlands | 2016 | 4 min

The music video for Oh My is set somewhere in a polar region. A starry night illuminates animal spoors in the snow. A girl decides to track the animal and find herself in an unreal winter wonderland which, however, seems barren. Dampened colours and the transparency of the characters brilliantly illustrate the slow tempo of the melodic song.

Simon Medard | Belgium | 2016 | 3 min

This music video is loosely based on the works of painter and illustrator Esther Pearl Watson. It brings to life stylized naïve characters that live in a nice fairy-tale world with the soundtrack of the melodic song I Can’t Wait. The author organizes animation workshops for children and it was the aesthetics of children’s drawings that influenced the style of the music video.

This music video by a young French animator is not only a visual portrayal of the song, but also tells a sad story. Its main hero is a lonely introvert working in a video games store. He is head over heels in love with a woman called Dolores who works across the street from him. But he is unfortunately unable to overcome his reclusiveness and stays in his dreams and fantasies.
