It’s Friday afternoon, so it must be time for another round up of the nice work we’ve spotted lately at CR Towers. First up is a charming video for Darwin Deez track Radar Detector, from director Ace Norton

James Frost has shot this video for new OK Go track This Too Shall Pass, which has been storming through the internet so you’ve likely seen it already. Despite its brilliant effects, we have slightly mixed feelings about it at CR, due to the obvious parallels between it in Fischli & Weiss film The Way Things Go. When Honda used a similar technique in its Cog ad, a storm of controversy ensued, but Frost’s video has only drawn admiration, that we’ve seen. Perhaps the rules regarding ‘homages’ are different for music videos compared to ads?
