There’s definitely a flavour or a tone about Australian videos (and even film for that matter) that sets them apart.
I’ve noticed it has a lot to do with colour grading into cooler temperatures/drowned colours, darker lighting and mixing a lot of motion graphics into live footage. I like videos that are a little crafty - especially to pretty heart felt songs… I’m probably completely biased cos I miss Rage so much.

I’ve been trying to get into some new music of late and have found it incredibly difficult. I don’t know whether I’m just being resistant to the new, or if it’s because I don’t have much time to concentrate on them, the fact that I have to listen to small earphones on the ipod (as opposed to great speakers from a real life tangible CD), OR cos there are just sooo many songs to listen to.

edit - I just noticed that both posted videos are heavily focused on puppeteering… Another current visual meme/trend, I guess?
