Moving Image: Shynola
Let me be very idiotic for a minute and pretend that I alone can give you lovely people what MTV can’t: heart-warming, unique, creative music videos. Now I’m sure that most of the following videos are being played plenty enough, so that’s not the issue in this first ‘Music | TV’ post, but I think it’s rather interesting to also show who’s creating those rare few cool videos these days.
Shynola has been a collective of 4 creative folks from London and have worked together for almost 10 years. Not only have they created music videos, they’ve also worked on video graphics for tv, movies and commercials. The most recent product of these multi-talents is Coldplay’s video for Strawberry Swing, which brought a tear to my eye when I first watched it. It’s really stunning. You’ll find more Shynola familiar videos below:

Aww fantastic post, my fav so far!

I hadn’t seen the Beck one, glad it’s repaired! (well the Iambdsop one either but then again i didn’t know the song so fair enough). The Coldplay one is brilliant but the song is way too boring, had to mute the sound and play QOTSA again to finish LOL but it was worth it for the images!
