DEARLY BELOVED "The Butler Routine"


Dearly Beloved's second video for 'the butler routine' is directed, once again by Lisa Mann. drippy images covering the walls gives the video a beautiful flow. a song that's deeply personal for the band tied with ghostly images and almost dreamlike scenarios truely gives the video a sincere and memorable look. i definitely think it's the best work lisa's ever done!

BUCK 65 "Devil's Eyes"


Micah Meisner did a fantastic job creating a gorgeous film noir video for Buck 65's haunting and yes, catchy song 'devil's eyes'. black and white sneak peaks into crime scenes, sleezy motel rooms and late night diners make for an amazing cinematic video.

Awards:
- Video of the Year: Juno Awards 2006
- Best Cinematography: Much Music Video Awards 2006

EROS RAMOZZOTTI "Sta Passando Novembre"


Fluorescent Hill are an animation group from montreal, represented by Revolver Films. in this video, we follow a man on a journey for his love, through rainstorms, the jungle, ice glaciers, etc. he even gets to hug an elephant! lucky! though the song is in italian, it goes perfectly with this video, making it sincere and sweet.

THE BLOOD BROTHERS "Set Fire To The Face On Fire"


The blood brothers are back with a new cd, which I'm happy to say is way better than 'Crimes'. The single 'Set Fire To The Face On Fire' was filmed in a small studio in California. Roboshobo does an amazing job at making this video completely weird and entertaining. The hand painted costumes and background make it look like a grade-school play, set in bizzarro-land. I absolutely love it!

DEARLY BELOVED "Manifesto"


Dearly Beloved doubled their cd release party at Sam the Record Man in downtown toronto, as a video shoot for their first single "Manifesto". they encouraged fans to come out wearing 'a splash of red', in which through the video (filmed in black and white) hints of red are the key.

MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" (live)


Speedway Films are a new addition to the Revolver Films roster of amazing directors. in a not so traditional style of directors we host, Speedway specialize mostly in live performances of bands/artists. in this clip they bring us the high-intensity performance of My Chemical Romance, live onstage - judging by Gerard Way's haircut and outfit, i'd say this was filmed on their last tour (sorry! i don't know the actual details on that).

MATT MAYS "When The Angels Make Contact"


Matt Mays just released his new record last week, promoting it as the soundtrack to a (fake) movie that's being released. The video and the movie trailer for "When The Angels Make Contact" (both of the same name) were filmed in Halifax, NS. by Drew Lightfoot. Beautifully shot, and totally creative, there's something about this video that's truly special. Buck 65 is featured on the track, as well as plays a creepy fortune teller in the video. Pretty neat.

Check out the video and trailer here:

SLOAN "If It Feels Good Do It"


It's Friday, and that means taking a look back on older videos. Remember this one from Sloan in 2001? Directed by Noble Jones, the open casting call was listed as "dress as what your idea of rock and roll would look like". Pretty fun idea, for a pretty fun, rock & roll video! Big lights, kids dancing and a good song too.

Looking back at this now, I know so many people who were in this video.

CASCADA "Miracle"


The glossy video for ‘Miracle’ directed by Lisa Mann, showcases Natalie in great outfits, stunning locations and shows the transition Natalie has made from her previous video into a glamorous pop starlet. I'm not into Euro-dance music, but the video is cool.

TANGIERS "A Winter's War"


A great video concept of Heart & Mind battling it out for higher ranking. After competing, they learn that they can work together, and be one strong team. Definetly the best video (in my opinion) that Graydon Sheppard has directed, so far. He just keeps getting better and better.
