[rollituplightitup85]

[Ashvegian]

These guys are the coolest band in New Zealand. They kinda look homeless when you see them in person (they have beards, woolen clothing, brown or grey suits from 1960s-1980s, and kinda look sort of depressed) however, they produce some of the most beautiful sounds and styles to be heard.

[666LIAB666]

New Zealand music - yes!!!

[iamK007]

Oh wow, when I saw the name, I thought it would be related to Will Smith. Hitch and Hancock xD

[winstonchisholmking]

this tune gives me chills.

'hauntingly beautiful'

listen to it morning and night - LOUD

[elmoisadick4]

[macwise7]

Top Gear says communism has never produced a decent car. No doubt.

[tazyx]

@macwise7 in russia is no roads, only something that they call road. so they need something, what they call cars

[TheCommanderNZ]

The Phoenix Foundation are an indie rock band formed in Wellington, New Zealand.

History:

Founded by Conrad Wedde, Samuel Flynn Scott, and Luke Buda in 1997 while students at Wellington High School, they were joined by Tim Hansen (bass), Richie Singleton (drums) and Will Ricketts (percussion) in 2001. The band gets their name from a fictional organization on the popular television show "MacGyver"

[axperlazy1]

[kokobedima]

[Bluelada]

[riddicus1]

Phoenix Foundation rip off other peoples work for their music vids!!!

[falsendrach]

You sir, are an idiot.

Its not a Pheonix Foundation video, the creator of the clip just used their music for the soundtrack.

[samuelfscott]

Hi, thats almost right. Reuben made the video specifically for the song, but he made it with no input from us. He made a wonderful clip i thing.

[DEF90JAM]

[netsoftware]

VAZ 2105

[Vooster2007]

[omgwtfpwnzbbq]

VAZ 2105 lol

[sausagemaster5511]

Worra weird idea - an electric car that is superbly uncontrollable?...I like it!! SUV chase was a bit random though

[rache951]

lool nice vid!!!!kewl musik!!

[kodyro]

lol gaz drift

[The1stArtist]

a bit surreal.

[SHAMANDREAMKEEPER]

who did the music?

[dexterd4u]

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!

[dorifto711]

awesome and aweinspiring. the execution of graphics was spectacularly realistic and the rendering, though in black and white, was adaptive to the films overall story. at a point it seemed to have a bit of a retro theme but in a modern context. Nice job and i hope you make more of these types a short clips. I enjoyed it. I like the way you portrayed the "electric petrols" to be a phenomenon that was alien to petrol cars thus the u.f.o theme. Nice project and keep em comin. :j

[Cameo247]

What are they supposed to keep us safe from again?

They drive like maniacs

[Infinityxero]

The 4x4 is a perfect representation of America.

Nicely done.

[ruffe90]

This film could't have been made Cooler! Brilliant! Great work!

[wyntersdarkness]

I love it!!

[Vulfi93]

Made in England. The steering wheels are on the right side.

[1iLLnoize1]

Electric sedans in the video are the actual Lada 5 [or VAZ 2105] 3d modelled for this vid ;) that pleases me as a LADA fan and as a short movie lover ;]

[rspoppi]

fantastic. really.

[paddycoolZ1]

i thought this was a very strong & convincing film piece. like mad max on acid video game. cool !

[Mongoman999]

Ha, I like the way the cars drive

[eddykingfour]

i love the song rofl

[manovardasilgas]

now THAT was weird.

[adamisthereinventer]

It was wierd but you know whats even weirder, a middle aged white woman driving a fucking 4x4, yes, this is a free country (canada) but seriously, do people have to be retarded just because they can.

[eddykingfour]

Thats some weird ass shit. I LOVE IT.

[DimondxButtafli]

Who cares what the title is.. as shakespeare once wrote.. a rose by any other name doth smell as sweet.. etc.. its a title.. the film is still cool! :) Synchronised squad cars.. lol

[lisyara2008]

Пятерки жгут. И Вам, пендосы, этого не понять =))

[WhimsicalQuandary]

"Thou shalt spell the word pheonix : P-H-E-O-N-I-X not P-H-O-E-N-I-X regardless of what the oxford English dictionary tells you"

[IETCHX]

why is everybody so mean? we're all on the same america hating team...

[xvarcticmonkeyx]

That was fucking cool!

[dirkarebel]

Anybody else objected this "clip" because of its misapropriated title yet?

I sincerely object.

Presume that "already-dead-movie-directors" are turning in their graves these days because of this title.

The ones still living dispair because of the wasted time you served to so many people.

Why not give your next clip the name "Cinderella", "Jesus", "Buddha", "Mohammed"?

I will be out of "futureshorts" before that.

[IETCHX]

calm down . get mad about something else . at least i never accused you of blowing goats

[dirkarebel]

Yes, I have to agree with you, that you never accused me for "blowing goats".

And, yess, in the reactions till now, I have not found an explaining why this title "hitchkock" was chosen.

I am not getting mad, sorry to disappoint you.

Till further explanation the clip has a misappropriated title in my vieuw.

Till then, I sign by the name Cinderella (...) etc.

[IETCHX]

i musta been drunk when i wrote that,kinda funny, but i'm still an ass..

[bobzilla211]

i object to your "objection" because i don't think it really "matters" that they called the clip "hitchcock" as it doesn't affect the "quality" or "content" of the "clip" and i certainly don't think that "already-dead-movie-directors"­ are turning in their graves because "dead people" couldn't care less.

[dirkarebel]

Hi Bob,

It used to be that titles meant something.

Any next clip of anybody could be called called "Cinderella (...).

Or givven the 33'd word on an ad random found page of a dictionary.

This way of giving titles will of course not affect the "quality" or "content" of the "clip".

Dead directors are not moving around in their graves because of this clip, as I just confirmed.

A more gracious treatment of their fans would be sincerely appreciated.

Till an explanation,

I sign with Cinderella

[falsendrach]

Try reading the other comments. Its called Hitchcock because thats the title of The Pheonix Foundation song playing during the clip.

[dmog74]

Wow man. You need to get a life. It's a title. Probably alluding to the film noir feel of the song. If anything, it's an hommage. Why are you so anal???

[mikeredman333]

Solid vid, very cool. But why is it traffic that stops the SUV in the end? it should've run outta gas, the SUV could've went off road, that's its advantage. and electric cars won't make traffic any better.

[dude9765]

this doesnt make any sense to me... why do the energy efficient cars decide to chase the SUV with the American flag in its rear window? Is this perhaps a political outcry over America's dispute over environmental issues?

[kansaspansey]

dont listen to the haters, this fil was very good, you have talent....keep using it =)

[OleksijkoZAP]

This film is just a stupid joke, `cause the car they are using there is a Zhiguli model - one of the most popular in USSR and still widely-used in former USSR republics. And all that things about flyin and other stuff - is just 3d-max or Maya or whatever.

[2000voltblondes]

is this for real? its hard to tell. the special effects are gr8.

[Emu1gmx]

i don't like this video...

It's allways the green peoples talkin' about how bad some minoreties are being treated and in this movie we see exactly the same repression. If you hunt those gas-guzzlers down, like in this vid, ur not mutch better then Dictator, kicking out minoreties from his country!

[frumpman]

it's about trying to save the envoirnment and not hunting down people who dont agree you inbred streak of piss! get that through your thick skull and tell your friends about what you learned so that maybe one day we wont have to put on gas masks when we open the front door.

[Emu1gmx]

Oh yes good Idea and the electricity 4 these cars commes from where?

Sun, Nuclear or Gas, but wait... no... Sun is to expensive... what now?

I know the envoirnment needs protection, im just saying thats the wrong way! and why the F*** are u so aggresiv?

[simonrunkar93]

wouldn't be so safe'r if everybody jumped all over usa XD.

[sperling2214]

Good film. Enough said.

[spiralisedcat]

everyone buy 1 ltr classic mini coopers and make the world look and smell of roses :D

[PULSE88]

I Dont Really Know What To Say TO This Apart From You Should Have Use A Car Like THe MItsubishi i Or Something & Not A Lada.

[1pillbugs]

Well done, I was entertained and thought you did a great job on this film.

[Lexkent1979]

The United States Car Culture that proceeded WWII was of greater influence in television, movies than the German. Americans were and are their cars good and bad.Volkswagen was a civilian car first in 1938 then producing military vehicles during war not the other way around. By the way its Volkswagen not Volkswagon, I dont insult people because I think that time could be better used learning or better yet teaching.

[Fighting31st]

stupid, if you need more electricity for cars, the electricity has to come from somewhere ie. coal burning plants ect.

[arcadiandelsol]

The Volkswagon Thing, a German designed, manufactured, and produced vehicle, was a civilian version of a military vehicle that was on the highways of the world almost 30 years before the Hummer was ever even concieved.

jonasnilaus, you are the king of internet idiots. well done, sir.

[Lexkent1979]

The Humvee is just a predecessor of the Jeep .The Jeep is 4x4 American invention and embodiment of sprit and industrial power of the United States after and during World War II. The United Stated did defeated Germany and their Volkswagen. General Eisenhower stated one of the main the reasons the United States won the war was because of the Jeep. The Jeep was a military vehicle that was commercialize in 1945 and led the way to sport utility vehicle.

[Floronka]

оо, щось модель машини здається мені вкрай знайомою... ))

[ucfbran18]

i dont get it...

[FirstDayBlues]

Actually...? Wow.

In other news..

Great job man..Absolutely genius.

Keep up the good work.

[gannbilly]

all of those cars need shocks and struts.

[rhomo]

okay, so as an american, i was slightly offended at the american flag on the back of the 4x4 - insinuating that all americans are into gas-guzzlers and environment-sucking vehicles. (also making us look like country red-neck hicks that could care less about others on the road). couldn't be farther from the truth.

cool vid though, so props for that!

[jonasnilaus]

"couldn't be farther from the truth?"

Ok, first of all:

1. The Hummer is an american invention (who else would think of mass producing a civilian version of a military vehicle?)

2. The US makes out 25 % of the worlds Co2 pollution. (but they aren't "gas-guzzlers??)

3. Showing the American flag on the back of a car, does not "insinuate that all americans are into gas-guzzlers and environment-sucking vehicles". It just insinuates the motherfucker driving the car is...

[ashweirdo]

This video wasn't attacking the American people, it was attacking the (and excuse my generalization) country hicks who feel it's more important to a car that gets 13mpg* but says "hey I have money!" instead of a more economical and less wasteful/harmful vehicle such as a Toyota or Honda.

*city mileage for 2008 Hummer, according to fueleconomy gov

[misadiegolo]

Lol, its about "country hicks who feel it's more important to a car that gets 13mpg* but says "hey I have money!" "

I don't think country hicks drive 2008 Hummers

Country Hicks say "I have money"?

It was an obvious attack on US, It is obviously more about bashing the US than wondering why the pollution was so bad in Bejing.

GM, Ford and Chrysler are all going under because they can't compete (US buying foreign and shitty Unions) but, yet we are the bad guys. Luv the song though.

[3yE]

*sigh* it's not about the US, it's not about the pollution, it's somewhat about cold war mentality and mocks either side equally. I mean, look at this, attacking us/pollution/whatever with crappy soviet botched up fiat clones which go sideways more easily than forwards and threaten to tip over at the slightest maneuver... It's funny, if you take it serious you have issues, see your shrink.

[JordanDodger]

actually most of us unfortunately are and it's not just with gas but with many other things. Part of which we can thank bush for. The rest we can thank the ignorant people who still believe that global warming is a hoax. The sad truth is that most americans are gas guzzlers and environment polluters.

[PerfectCalamity]

i thought it looked cool,

but i never found the point.

[DEADmetal3]

wtf

[drcanoro]

thats insane :)

[Princeamor]

I can't believe I didn't notice that was all cgi until it went into color...

[simpe99]

umm okay...

[sonofcarr]

Dittos on the awesome soundtrack.

Was very appealing to look at.

Not sure whether it got the point across, at least not in my case.

Those "electric petrol" cars had some serious torque.

[brokenguitar0812]

hA HA that was Great!......... umm i confused

[EuroNoobz]

LOL, Lada FTW!!

[JennaLeighhh]

talk about getting car sick!

[filmmakingcarlos]

Great video! And I love the music!

[troy5690]

Maybe the Rubber Police should chase down those electric cars for leaving skid-marks everywhere;)

[MnkyNoTrxn]

If green cars were that awesome then waaay more people would be into them. But us damn ignorant americans and our SUVs.

[KalmyKindaNYC]

flying cars))brilliant)

[lofgy]

beautifulslide~one !

the next olympic event ?

the "normal" cars looks like the soviet "lada´s" or maybe they were "zshiguli"

[jimb0bproductions]

take that American drivers!

[otnielmanaryjunior]

i dont get it

[funzy2]

me either

[comuniense]

good

[mesh3lovic]

Great Video

keep it up :)

[Mikwest91]

What!?

[amandawinkwink]

that was awesome. it really sent a message.

[TracyII77]

Very well done short ,but I find this to be as much an anti-American movie as an anti-gas guzzler movie. The SUV had an American flag on it and drove around "Gas" City, but the electric cars were a part of the "Petrol" Crimes Bureau. Americans use the word gas, but other english speaking countries use the word petrol. I also find it interesting that the electric cars were compared to the gas guzzlers of the 1970's and the movies that glorified them.

[bushwacker23]

The song is also great ... ne1 know who it is?

[livingsocks]

Phoenix Foundation

[bushwacker23]

Thanks Socks, I guess thats why they say "readers are leaders" =D

[livingsocks]

Ha ha xD

[cherenerules]

this was amazing. so much...so much sense was made through this

[lukertweek]

Who would guess these are 'electric' cars? It's a beautiful piece of work, no question. But the message of clean electric cars versus dirty petrol guzzling 4 x 4's....?

Is it *just* me or is that lost here?

Great visuals and complimentary soundtrack all the same.

[drawkacb]

Watching this video, it was the strangest, most surreal thing I have seen. It was great though, and I loved the soundtrack.

[INESAAODH]

GREAT!!! JUAT GREEEEEEEEEAT!!!

[KarliKawaii]

I love this chanel the quality the videos are are the best! XD

[INESAAODH]

couldn't agree more!!!

[imnameless07]

Agreed

[hany6432]

i think the way these cars fly around like that is way more dangerous than the gas emissions 4x4s do!!!

[CaptinCorona]

fuckign beautiful, this is still by far one of my fav channels on youtube

[INESAAODH]

same here!!!!

[BaKer312213]

i dont get it

[roaz134]

I want one of those cars. They look fun! xD

[hadenofeshin]

Youre free to have one) Its a Russian ВАЗ 2105)))) We have a lot of em)))

[MasKid2]

IT's SO true!!! We must ALL fight for this cause!!

Thanks!

[ospina553]

EXCELENT JOB

[katieMCbindergarten]

[hatemeproductions]

[beyondfood]

[Robtehreaper]

[cujo76]

[kukelz]

[b10buzz]

Nice film! btw the car in the video looks exactly like Russia`s worst car Lada 2106. haha

[cihge]

hey it's not the worst man xD there are much worse ones :P

[LitttleD94]

Interesting, but very cool. Music was pretty sweet too.

[bloodyfervour]

FREAKING AWESOME!!!!

[yanndick]

Impressive !

What programs did you use ?

[nikokil]

Oh my, that's absolutely brilliant!

[ScooterBug13]

sweet

[babyshawn21994]

what is the message of this film???

[beholder9000]

cool music

[farvision]

Hitchcock [Phoenix Foundation] is its name. It's available from iTunes but they force one to buy the entire album for $11.99!!! Idiots.

[JaffaCake79]

Very nice indeed. Very thought provoking.

[marysatan]

i dont why but i am touched.

[aikon235]

That was awesome!
