Radiohead cover video: Just (graffitti animation)


This video for a cover version of Radiohead‘s track ‘Just‘ (album: The Bends), set to a montage of animated London graffiti (much of which looks like Banksy’s work). Performed by Mark Ronson and alex Greenwald of Phantom Planet. Link (Thanks, nick)

Reader comment: Jo says,

Xeni’s link to the Radiohead graffiti clip made me think instantly of Laith Bahrani, an animator from the UK who painstakingly created a homebrew Flash-animated clip to Readiohead’s “Creep”. It’s brilliant. Bahrani’s done some other fantastic stuff as well:

1) His former life as an office gimp inspired a series of 20 second animations (called “Low Morale”) depicting his alter-ego dreaming about escape from a soul-destroying office. Available on the front page of lowmorale.co.uk.

2) He also created the amazing Flash-based video clip to the cute song “JCB”, sung by an otherwise unknown folk-duo called Nizlopi. (Link) On the back of the gorgeous clip, and an admittedly cute song, the single went to number one on the UK charts for weeks. If you ask me, it’s even *better* than a unicorn chaser.
