Hey everyone, so the Charlotte Gainsbourg & Beck video has been released; and it’s been all over online. Including: Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Kanye West, Spike Jonze’s blog, Stereogum, and more. Not to menton the twitters and the blogs and the facebook update statuses and whatnot.
And I’ve received a few emails from artists and directors I really admire, which has been super exciting.
A few people noticed references to the work of William Hundley in the video. I contacted the artist and we amended the credits. You can read my detailed response on antville, where I just posted the letter (rephrased to address everyone).

Congrats, Keith, on your most awesomely surreal video yet! I’m really happy you wrote a letter that worked through the controversy around the video so carefully and considerately. You’ve helped take the online discussion around ‘found media’ to a new level. Could you please base your next video around my favorite found photo, ‘poo bear’?
