Music Video: “Top Ranking,” Blonde Redhead

A smart, playful take on stop-motion animation.

From “Thumbsucker” director Mike Mills and artist-writer-director Miranda July comes this ascetic video for Blonde Redhead‘s “Top Ranking.” The straightforward concept — “one pose per second” — has July standing near-motionless in more than 200 different positions. It’s a smart, playful take on stop-motion animation, and the song is pretty good too.
