- My personal favourite music video is for Tame Impala's 'The Less I know The Better'. The entire aesthetic of the video is very cleverly executed and although there are multiple types of moving image, including animation, it flows really well and fits with the psychedelic pop genre.
- The video is published on VIMEO, and there is not an official version of it on youtube, therefore I used vimeo profiles to explore the director of the video.
- The video was published by the director 'CANADA'

- CANADA is an international collective of directors/ producers based in Barcelona and London, making commercials and music videos since 2008.
- here are a few questions taken from an interview the founders of CANADA had with Vimeo
Doug: What is the origin story of CANADA? How did you come up with the name? Is there a common thread in every CANADA film?
CANADA: We were three friends making our way into the advertising industry, working for different production companies. We thought it could be a good idea to join forces and make this sometimes ungrateful work a little easier. [The intent was] to work directly for clients, but we didn’t manage to do that properly. We started to work and sign our projects together … and here we are.
We wanted an international name for the company, and the three of us had a lot in common but also little differences. CANADA has three syllables, each with one letter in common and one different.
What is the difference between CANADA the production company and CANADA the director’s collective?
CANADA is the name under which the directors, who are the founders of the company, sign their work. And it’s also the name of the production company itself, which represents other directors alongside CANADA the director.
- I love the style and obscurity of all of there videos, they have a very specific and unique feel to there films and videos.
- The short film 'Creme Caramel' was created for NOWNESS and celebrates the beauty of the female body. The aesthetic is beautiful and emphasizes the natural beauty of the girl.

- A music video for Mujeres song 'Lose Control' is another CANADA produced piece which I plan to take inspiration from. The pace of the editing works really well with the pace of the music and it mirrors the beat. I like the simplicity of the use of 2 simple colours and simple shapes, yet the sequences and incorporation of the band makes it interesting and successful in relation to the song.
