After viewing both these “In The Spirit” Music Videos, it was immediately noticeable how similar they were in both vocal styling and sweet sentiment. Two separate but complimentary music videos. Therefore we shall present them together!

The first music video is Water by Nista. The playful and child-like stop motion uses toys and craft supplies to make a narrative including: a babydoll in a dollhouse set, a unicorn, a wrapped present, a pirate, dinosaurs, a gorilla, and of course, water. Now that’s a good set of characters!

About the video: Stop-motion animation by Stina Agustsdottir. A strange story about a little girl and her adventures. Made to music by Stina Agustsdottir (the lead singer in Nista). Video cost to make. Props from Dollarama and the Salvation army store.

This second video is also water related but is about what moves it, The Tide. Made by San Francisco group, Weather Pending, the music video features scenes around San Francisco, a nice example of working with your city or town's natural sites as a set. We salute this band, and any, willing to take their instruments out on a rowboat in the middle of a lake. 

 About the video: Directed by Roger Landon Hall. The Tide off of Weather Pendings forthcoming album, And How!
