The first couple of episodes of Ben Hibon's animations to accompany PS3 videogame, Heavenly Sword, are here and here. I had to meet this French director after I'd checked out his previous, award-winning, Codehunters, and we talked about this project he was working on. Nice to see it coming to fruition finally.

Gondry going forward with Rewind
Michel's hitting his feature film stride now transferring prolific MV work rate to the big screen, with his next imminent: Be Kind Rewind starring Jack Black and Mos Def. Rather than quirky rom-com a la The Science of Sleep, he's gone for all-out absurd comedy. Same kind of strategy Linklater used with Black on School of Rock.
LonelyGirl15 ends up on MySpace
In a deal that signals the ascendance of the independent video creator, MySpace will host and feature the Lonelygirl15 season finale this Friday. The finale, a culmination of the series to date, with 12 episodes released every hour over starting at 8 a.m.
Hyperkinetic, super-psychotic Liars
Just been made aware of Plaster Casts of Everything by Liars, and directed by Patrick Daughters, through Stashmedia Feed. Like an amphetamine-fuelled Karma Police, down a Lost Highway, the promo rejects heavy VFX for horrific Gondry-esque projections onto driver, passenger, and naked roadrunner. Part of The Directors Bureau stable, Daughters is currently working on debut feature project.
