Ich bin der Stricherjunge

a video by: Simone Gilges

music: Stereo Total

production: SimGil Production

label: Disko B

Germany, 2007

Jury Statements:

It has the essence of pop, it's showing friends, fashion and fun, it's spontaneous, improvised, authentic, do it yourself and shows good production values. The visual aesthetics are connected in a good way to the lo-fi sound of the song. The director seems part of the scene, at least he shares the style-codes of the band. The best stuff comes from something that you are passionate about. It's a document of the Berlin punk scene.

Das beste deutsche Musikvideo

director: Luigi Archetti, Bo Wiget

production: Archetti & Wiget

music: Luigi Archetti, Bo Wiget

label: Happy System

Germany, 2008

Jury Statements:

It's ironic, trippy, pretentious, obviously arty, though the music and video were going really well together. It plays with the conventions of music videos, it's an anti choreography, anti video, simple and elegant. It made us debate and since it became number two, it's not the „bestes deutsches musikvideo”.

Jury Statements:

The method is its strength: it focuses on one simple idea, connecting traditional craftsmanship to contemporary aesthetics, making good use of the constraints of the letterpress.
