yelle2010-85664

Jérémie Saindon is off to LA to direct two videos for French Pop singer Yelle’s upcoming album.

The videos in question are for the singles Safari Disco Club and Que veux-tu?

Right now, Yelle ranks no.5 in Hot Artists section and no. 3 in Hot Tracks section.

The shoot for the videos will take place in East LA and at Panavision Studios.

Jean-Paul Lespagnard and Brian Lichtenberg (Katy Perry, M.I.A., Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian, Pussy Cat Dolls, Beyonce and Paris Hilton) will be styling the videos.

We’ll keep you posted when the videos are released. At any rate they will be posted here around the beginning of March as the album Safari Disco Club is scheduled to be released (Perez Hilton blogged this) in early March 2011.

Remember this?

Tinywatch and the Joys of Retail

This is a new clip from Tinywatch Productions.

They are at it again with their choice theme.

Tinywatch have a radically funny way of detailing the ups and downs (certainly the downs) of working retail at an electronics store.

In this case, the humor is bang on.

Patrick Boivin’s White

White is the latest short film Patrick Boivin posted on his Youtube channel.

It is a haunting ode to a wintry apocalypse.

White was previously released in a longer version.

This new, shorter version features our very own Salomé Dubreuil as narrator.

Patrick Boivin’s Ninja Unboxing 2: Nexus S

This new Patrick Boivin video went live this morning at 8.

But starting as early as last night, some users were able to crack some of the hidden goodies that were announcing the launch of this second Ninja Unboxing video.

This time,  for the all new Nexus S.

It was all happening simultaneously on Facebook and Twitter.  The buzz was about “some of our friends are coming back in town, give us a call to get a sneak preview.”

Before long, some savvy twitters had figured out what number to call. The phone number in question briefly appears on the call log of Google’s Nexus S used in the real launch video of the Nexus S, which, incidentally, features the cool Allo, Allo from les Sans Culottes.

The first one to crack it said: “The ‘friends’ were the best part of the N1 release.”

TIFF’s TOP TEN: Kaveh Nabatian’s Vapor

TIFF announces its top 10 short Canadian films of 2010.

Kaveh Nabatian’s arresting Vapor made the top ten.

Here’s what the jury said about his film: “With spare, powerful images and an assured structure, Vapor tells its story like a dance piece. No image is wasted, no moment overplayed. Vapor stays with you long after you’ve left the theatre.”

TIFF flew the filmmakers to Toronto for last night’s event.

And Kaveh says it was pretty cool to share the stage with Guy Maddin.

Congrats to all Canadian filmmakers.

And special props to Halima Ouardiri who also made the top ten for her beautiful Mokhtar.
