Sparkling champagne dripping from a glass on a stunningly looking green stiletto, a broken framed picture of a gorgeous woman, a vinyl record slipping from its cover, a mask and a diploma, all placed on the same shelf and animated to the last detail by Mikael Colombu. And that’s just the beginning of “Bodies”, an … Continued
If you thought the Splice title sequence amazing, wait till you see the new animations we found made by Chez Eddy in Paris. Get engaged in the Variations sur Marilou journey taking you from the simple splashes of colors to the complex sur-realistic structures, or follow Louise Attaque’s adventures hand-drawn by debuting music video director … Continued
Be prepared to be artistically disgusted by this latest promo by Keith Schofield – brilliant yuckieness featuring the Duck Sauce guys as dick-heads, literally!

Ever wondered what happened with Carel Struycken – the actor who so brilliantly played Lurch in The Addams Family, The Giant in Twin Peaks, or Mr. Homm in Star Trek? We found him attempting to rediscover his true self in Victor Vroegindeweij‘s must-see music video “For Better or For Worse“.

If you thought that David Wilson had just about explored every single nook and cranny of his uber-creative brain (see his strata-cut, Garden of Eden love-story, face-painting stop-motion, praxinoscoped life evolution circles, or these insanely psychedelic animations), then think again. Wilson returns to 2Pause with two music videos that are galaxies apart. Charon is a … Continued

Besides being a massive, testosterone-packed ode to body building, Alan Capriles’ latest music video puts the spotlight back on George Butler’s awe-inspiring 1977 documentary Pumping Iron, a.k.a. The Doc That … Continued
We added, not one, or two, but twelve of Andy Bruntel’s magical promos to our music video collection 2Pause. That’s a dozen, dear! Why Bruntel? Because the man has mastered the art of telling suspenseful, absurd and sometimes cruel, but always emotionally-super-effective stories within the confines of the 3 to 5-minute time span of a … Continued
