At the Vimeo Awards: 99 Moviemaking Secrets in 60 Minutes (with two guys named daniel)  → vimeo.com

    Come learn the 99 irrefutable most important secrets to successful movie making (all in one hour).  The most educational 60 minutes you could possibly sit through.  A mix of candid stories from inside the industry, illuminating anecdotes from the set, and the key bits of wisdom that won’t simply improve your movies, they might just improve your lives.  PLUS if we have time we’ll do fun group activities!  Approximately 100% wisdom and 0.001% dumb shit.  Presented by the one and only industry giants Daniel and Daniel who have been working professionals in the music video and commercial industries for sortof one year or I guess a year and a half but it’s hard to figure out when to start counting so we can say two years to be safe so anyway they totally deserve to teach a workshop.

(that’s right!  We get to do a workshop for some reason.  Come have fun with us.)

TD - LEAK!!!?!?!

Tenacious D is mad at us!  Their Facebook posted: 

“Apparently some footage of our upcoming Rize of the Fenix video leaked somehow on Russian YouTube. Tenacious D does not encourage watching this footage. And we are hoping for an apology from the directors immediately.”

Since it’s out there.  Why hide it?  It’s true!?!  http://rutube.ru/tracks/5569165.html

NO IDEA HOW FOOTAGE LEAKED. Sorry to the label and band (although why are they singling us out? Someone hacked our computer and we’re upset too!)

Rize of the Fenix = Worst Nightmare Movie

DANIELS presents: Standard Screening/Dance Party  → standardculture.com

Tuesday 7:30 - 9:30

We’re screening some music videos of ours at the Standard Hotel in downtown LA… But most importantly we are going to play awesome dance music in between our videos and we’re all going to dance our asses off in the lobby of the Standard Hotel!  This is our first ever gig as a DJ / VJ duo. Come check out the first ever performance by up and coming DJ: “DJ DEH JEH”
and the mostly inept VJ: “VAJANIEL”

It’s free yall.  We’re screening some old favorites and a couple secret gems you may not have seen!?

POCKETS - the new DANIELS short → randomacts.channel4.com

Created for a program called Random Acts on Channel 4 in London.  

Tommy, a man at the end of his rope, unable to provide for the woman he loves, decides to rob a stranger. The rest of the movie is really dumb and it’s about pockets.

Creators Project interview P2 → thecreatorsproject.com

Gross!  We chatted with Creators Project about our 3D music video, the reception of our Battles video, and not much else.  You can read it if you want to I guess.

The Year's Best "Year's Best Videos List"s List

This has been a truly exciting year for lists about videos.  With so many great lists to choose from we decided to put together a list of some of the greatest lists this year has to offer.  No thanks are due to anyone who voted or judged.  Nobody did except us and we didn’t do a good enough job to warrant any thanks.  Honestly we’re sorry.  But a very special thanks is due to all the diligent listers.

#7 NME’s 50 Best Music Videos of 2011

50 videos!  That’s lots of them.  Unfortunately I can’t see who got picked as #1 in my browser.  Cop out!  Also there’s a Chromeo video which we helped create.  It’s #38.

#6 Pitchfork’s Top Music Videos of 2011

A utilitarian albeit super easy list that is alphabetical, so everyone wins.  Most of my favorite bands of 2011 are on this list, so if you’re blind you should still check out this list.  Also Battles is on the list! 

#5 Paste Magazine’s 25 Best Music Videos 

Big ups to Josh Jackson for this list.  25 is a lot of videos.  Awesome.  Little descriptions for each video.  Helpful.  Plus the text is black and the background is off white so you can totally read it.  Our Battles video is #11 and our Manchester Orchestra video is #3 and the #1 video has cameras attached to cats!  Check ‘em all out!

#4 Yahoo.com’s the Most Awesome Music Videos of 2011

The top of the website is purple.  Also the videos appear to be windows media player.  Kewl.  On an unrelated note, we got 2 videos on this list…  Battles is #16 and Manchester Orchestra is #9.

#3 Videostatic’s 20 Best Music Videos of 2011

This is a website about music videos and one of our music videos is the #3 music video of the year out of all the music videos!!!  

#2 Cracked Top 8 Everything of 2011

Our Weetabix Advert was picked in this list of stuff on the internet.  That’s a lot to choose from.  

#1 The Daniels’ “The Year’s Best ‘Year’s Best Videos List’s List”

This list has everything.  Links to other lists.  Typos.  A MUST READ.  

Have a great 2012 everyone.  Thankyou to anyone who has ever watched any of our videos.)

Yeah Yeah Creative!: 10 Days of YYC's favorite videos: Day 4 → yeahyeahcreative.tumblr.com

What a nice writeup about our short film!?!?!  So flattered.

yeahyeahcreative:

This video is directed by a duo named Daniels. They’ve had a huge influence on us this year, so they may well pop up on this top-10 list one or two more times over the next week. Their brand of off-beat (maybe even a tad dark) humor resonates pretty closely to Tyler and I on the…
