Click to play then be patient.
The folks over at LocalCut.com have a piece on Portland Filmmaker Chel White “who,” says Casey Jarman, “won the music video award at SXSW in Austin this weekend for his visually stunning (I know that’s a cliche, but it really is visually stunning) video for Thom Yorke’s “Harrowdown Hill.�? The award is one of two given to music video directors at SXSW, the other being the special jury award (the Constantines’ “Working Full-Time�? took that one). White has won a bevy of awards for his short films, and has two of his projects in the New York Museum of Modern Art’s permanent collection.”
There is a YouTube version of the video but I am purposefully not giving you that link because it doesn’t do justice to the piece. Instead here’s a 30mb version to watch or to download. Patience is a virtue after all. Click to get the 30mb version - be patient it’s worth it.
