Favorite Music Video From The YYYs – Maps

This is my favorite video & favorite song called “Maps” by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs…

…it shows you what can be done with music videos, when approached with passionate creativity & excellent execution. The lead singer Karen O is a damn amazing performer, singer & song writer. The level of emotion she commits to her music & that she brings to her live performances is awe-inspiring. It is from the heart, the way music is supposed to be…if you could not tell the tears in this video are real. The way that they use lighting flare effects brings a uniqueness to this video which I had not seen done this well…ever. This video creates the song as a new visual emotional experience which is hypnotizing & reaches down in your soul at just grips you. It is undeniable.

When I was surfing around the net looking for and embeddable version of the original song I found this creative film project made from the “Maps” YYYs song that some UCSC film geeks made…

…shows you what a few individuals with just an idea & a vision can create from just about nothing (no budget). Apparently this was made by Farstorm Productions, an odd find from the corner of the web, they also have another creative music video done to a Silversun Pickups song.
