“The credit for this clip, which is so incredibly cool despite the involvement of TDWP, lies with director Maria Juranic. If you check out any of the other videos, commercials, and/or shorts available on her website, you will instantly recognize how tremendously talented she is. I sincerely hope that more mediocre bands hire her to make videos in the future so that a) those videos will be more tolerable and b) she has the money to go make something really awesome that has nothing to do with the mediocre bands that paid her.”
“It’s pretty obvious that the stop motion films of that regions past have had a profound effect on her approach to this video, with some parts reminding me of Věra Chytilová’sSedmikrásky (Daisies) as well as the works of Jan Svankmajer. Check it out below (courtesy of Blabbermouth).”
“Vocalist Mike Hranica says of the clip, which was directed by Maria Juranic, “Even while our direction was a bit vague for what we wanted to do with the ‘First Sight’ video, I couldn’t be more pleased with what Maria was able to come up with”
“Handing over the task of visually complementing the track to director Maria Juranic, who has used a seamless combination of stop-motion animation and polished camera work to figuratively convey a man rebelling against modern life. It’s a beautiful piece of film-making which will reach far beyond The Devil Wears Prada’s fan base in its appeal.”

...The video, directed by Maria Juranic, is equally inventive, employing a number of DIY special effects with great results."Go HERE
So Alive is a jam. Let's start off with that and then we can talk about the magical music video. They create a music video that focuses on paper coming to life in various forms which goes right along with the song's title of coming alive again. I could watch this video and jam to this song over and over and over again..." Go HERE

...Given the erratic nature of the song, it only makes sense that the visuals are equally caffeinated. They jump from one perspective to the next as it goes from Blueprint standing in a city at night to a point-of-view shot of a paper airplane. It's experimental and artsy without being too much of either while also remaining wholly accessible..." Go HERE

I spend a retarded amount of time on youtube watching music videos, and I have to admit this is one of the best video-concepts I've seen in a long time... -LunaticAssnGotzGame Go HERE

The video combines traditional graffiti-style animation, stop-motion paper cut-outs, deadly miniature car stunts, and a minimal beat pounded out on plastic cups. It's a pretty amazing piece of work. Must've taken about 15 years to put together. Lucky for us, it only takes like three minutes to watch. So, let's watch.." Go HERE

...it contains a bunch of little tidbits of artistic goodness, including what looks like a Michel Gondry re-imagining of a Toy Story race and P.O.S. doing, as he puts it, “that thing with the cups.”..." Go HERE
THIS JUST IN: NEW BROKEN CROW, OVER UNDER VIDEO BY MARIA JURANIC "Here is a super cool stop-action video by the very talented on-the-road artist and filmmaker Maria Juranic, who spent the day with Broken Crow, Over Under, and BSA last week"-Go HERE
"John Grider ( Broken Crow) is one of my favorite stencil / street artists and an all-around good guy. Check out this cool stop-motion video collaboration with Maria Juranic Broken Crow..."
Thanks Chirsty! Check it HERE "Juarnic's use of cut and paste graphics, bizzare morph effects, stop motion and childhood trappings lends itself to a lot of intriguing possibilities visually. What's more is that the conventions that she typically uses are pretty simple. These aren't 'Avatar' style effects that she's employing here and it doesn't need to be. Every video definately employs a very D.I.Y. , cut n' paste, artsy, gritty, punk rock feel."
"What I feel is even cooler than all of that is how Juaraic can pull off a decidedly cut n paste, animated visual style and then seamlessly switch gears altogether to create something like her short "Phantom" demo piece. That one is (literally and figuratively ) a whole other visual monster. It's gorgeously creepy and deliciously disturbing. You seriously don't want to miss this one, kids!"
