You Know Me - Robbie Williams
Robbie Williams, my guilty pleasure. Not a lot of vfx, but man, this video cracks me up. Singing cabbages? Nice pull through the rabbit hole in the beginning. Is this on the Alice in Wonderland soundtrack? Parts of the video have that feel. I do like the song. I declare this will be a hit!

The Bravery - Slow Poison
This one is best watched full screen. Lots of sci-fi effects and laser beams. Woo hoo! It's a lot of fun and the compositor did an amazing job.... and I dig The Bravery.
I hate that AOL makes you watch a full commercial before the video. Seriously annoying. I'd link somewhere else but AOL has the premiere up today. Boo hoo.

So funny. They did a beautiful job on the color correction. Magic Bullet Looks perhaps?
