Hot Chip " One night stand" Directed by Roel Wouters

I was away at the end of last year in Singapore (i know get me) so didn't catch this beaut of a video. It's director Roel Wouters is a graphic designer who has moved into doing music video in the last few years. You may remember the killer video he did for ZZZ is playing : grip.

It was so good Fiat ripped it off on an advert for the Grande Punto (Which he turned down directing duties on. Funny that!)

It's an incredible simple video using trampoliners, balls, and a load of texted ticker tape (that classic promo directors staple)

Anyway in this he again uses a very simple technique of a single mirrored ball which acts as our lens on the band. The band seem to be having a laugh too which is nice, rather than the cliche of having a load of moody band members.

Enjoy it (if you didn't see it in December that is)
