1. Arno Salters: Rock, Paper, Scissors
.......................................
Arno Salters is a music video director who's earning raves for his
playful fusion of live action and stop-motion animation film techniques.
Made on a Mac with Final Cut Pro, Salterss videos are jaunty fantasies
with a touch of vaudeville and a handcrafted style whose slight
irregularities bring them to unusually vivid life.
"What I'm trying to get out of is that glossy, sterile, corporate look
the music video industry has sunk to, where everything looks and sounds
the same," explains Salters. "People consider the industry to be in
crisis right now, so most labels are afraid to be different--everything
they make is a replica of everything else out there."
Read more about Salters and check out his latest music videos for Imogen
Heap, Mates of State, Honeycut and General Elektriks.
