Via a completely different route, I came across another video by Michel Gondry, the guy who directed the Chemical Brothers video I mentioned the other day: White Stripes - Fell In Love With A Girl. This time, it's done entirely in animated lego.

He also did 'A Change Would Do You Good' for Sheryl Crow, 'Around The World' for Daft Punk, and any number of really odd Bjork videos ('Army Of Me', 'Hyperballad'...). It's interesting that the client list has a lot of crossover with Spike Jonze, who also directed rather excellent videos for Daft Punk and Bjork (Da Funk, and It's Oh So Quiet, respectively), not to mention 'Sabotage' for the Beastie Boys, 'Praise You' for Fatboy Slim, and 'Buddy Holly' for Weezer. Both clever, creative people.
