A stunning collaborative project by Nobumichi Asai of design studio wOw and the creative team at TOKYO. Showcasing cutting-edge face mapping technology developed by Ishikawa Watanabe Laboratory at the University of Tokyo, the video also features Aya Sato and Bambi (aka AyaBambi), who you might recognize as longtime Madonna collaborators. Check out the short Making Of video below to learn more!
The 360° virtual reality version of Gorillaz’s new track with Popcaan, off their upcoming album Humanz.
The best video so far this year! Directed by Dave Meyers and The Little Homies (aka Kendrick Lamar and Dave Free). Love that they could have easily saved some of these ideas for half a dozen other videos but they used them all in one video instead.
A beautiful portrait on the traditional Japanese art of Urushiware by Seattle-based filmmaker Taylor Hawkins. So satisfying to watch artisans so committed to their craft!
Video for Mike WiLL Made-It’s track with Big Sean directed by photographer and filmmaker Mike Piscitelli.

More ridiculous GX1000 footage from the streets of San Francisco! These hills are no joke.
A MASTERPIECE from director David M. Helman for Michael Kiwanuka’s track “Cold Little Heart.” Gorgeous work by everyone involved!
Nice animated visuals for Baya’s tracks “Gate 212” and “Gimme That Dive” by John Christian Ferner Apalnes (aka I Saw John First).
