Bang Bang Eche – Beat Up The Children

For this video over 2,500 individual files were output one by one from Illustrator and assembled to create a near-seamless vector experience. Colour clips were broken down into image sequences and brought individually into Illustrator, meticulously converted into vector files, and each frame was output as an Illustrator file, then brought into After Effects for editing.

Conceptually the video is an exploration of counter-culture versus the establishment and the possibility of the establishment ultimately flexing its massive muscle, eventually leading to radioactive mutants and other awesome creatures to roam the earth among people and punk rockers.
Created by US director Mike Amin

Beat Up The Children

King Kapisi – Salvation

Salvation is a track about preserving culture and remaining steadfast to the ways of our ancestors. Colonialism has bought with it many injustices into our world. This is the song that states that fact. King Kapisi is a firm believer in traditional values specific to maintaining what is left of our natural environment and utmost respect for family values.
Salvation was shot on location at Pacific Resort Rarotonga, Muri Lagoon, Ngatangiia and the Avarua Punanga Nui Cultural Markets in Rarotonga, Cook Islands.

Dukes – Time is a Train

Shot at Zion Wildlife Gardens.
The band says “Thanks loads to Zion Wildlife Gardens and Gandor the Lion who were amazing. Although we spent time with the cheetahs in their enclosure, at no time was anyone in a cage with a lion, and the hero shot was achieved thanks to the magic of special effects.”

Tommy Ill – Susan

Having released Toast & Tea Kettles in 2007, Matchsticks in 2008 and Come Home Mr. Ill in 2009, Tommy Ill has made his name with haphazard live sets and his humorous tales. Being piggybacked around the stage by his hype men, tackling audience members, climbing on furniture and collapsing into a sweaty heap on the floor is nothing out of the ordinary at a Tommy Ill gig.

Susan is the second single from Tommy Ill’s debut album, a song about a girl called Susan Susan is a girl who is all tricky and stuff, you wouldn’t like her.

Bulletproof Ft. PNC & David Dallas – Back In The Day

Taken from the 2010 VNZMA Electronic Album Of The Year, Bulletproof’s Soundtrack To Forever
This video pays homage to the far out graphics and cheese ball presenting that we all grew up with on TV in the early 80′s, and
ads an extra current fluro twist for the new generation. The video tips it hat to Sesame Street, Rainbow, 321 Contact, Electric
Company and NZ’s first music video show Ready To Roll.
