An arty hybrid of a zombie movie and anti-consumer porn, Supermarket is hilarious. Though obvious and stupid (and a bit long), I just couldn’t stop laughing.
Here are a few others, which I loved: a computer-generated animation called The Future Forms of Life, a noirsh dancing slow-mo film called Falling, a music video for AAA called La Boum Fatale, and a very sexy Brazillian music video called Mallu Magalhaes --Sambinha Bom. Finally, in the geeky musical fun department, there’s Instruments of Robot Repair below. Enjoy and please don’t blame me if you waste a couple of hours exploring Vimeo.
