Cory Standridge, Matt Gromley and DP Sean Stiegemeier of Portland-based Droptree Productions secretly made a rap video using their downtime on various film shoots (while the clients weren’t looking). Sure, it might’ve taken them 2 years to complete but at least it was free! Watch their masterpiece above and check out the retro site to download the track.

Director Philip Andelman perfectly captures the thin line between the lives we lead and the ones we dream about in the video for Major Lazer’s track with Travis Scott, Camila Cabello and Quavo.

Video for LA IAIA’s track “Un i Mig” about recovering from a break-up. Co-directed by Barcelona-based animator David Borrull (aka Maliboo) and illustrator Olga Capdevila.

London-based Brother Film Co. (aka Marcus, Luke and Hugo Ellingham) and artist Benjamin Phillips create full-size balloon replicas of Tom Williams’ band for his track “Get High.” Aside from a little heat it sounds like it was a dream to shoot, as Marcus shared with us:

“We spent a day in a sweltering London studio shooting the performance section of the video, and the balloon band performed perfectly. Each member of the band was operated by a white boiler suited puppeteer, and after a bit of practise each seemed to have its own rhythm and personality. A few days later we drove down to the south coast of the UK to shoot the final floating scenes at golden hour, which worked a treat.”

This video is one of many excellent submissions we’ve received over the past week. Consider participating here if you have a project you’d like us to check out!
