This time Maxime Lelong just gave us the “making of” pics from the “Taj Mahal” shooting. Thank you Max! Don’t forget to have a look on his Flickr.

We told you about Oestrogenics a few months ago. They made a great 1-hour mix called “Back to School” that we really enjoy! This time, we asked them to make a mix just for us, and they agreed. Those two guys from Grenoble, who are now living in Paris, produce mixtapes on the internet. They’re 23. They’re very much talented. Why don’t you listen to a “Tape for Imetrages”. Hit play. Enjoy. Thanks pals!

Before being a very good photographer, Maxime Lelong is a very good friend of us. We worked with him for the first time on the “Feel in Color”‘ shooting with Destronics. More than one year after, we had the pleasure to have him as a unit still photographer. Here are part of the pictures he took for the videoclip “Taj Mahal”. Thank you Maxime, we do love you.

The Imetrages crew has just finished to vote for their favorite music videos of 2011. Discover the ranking right now:

Delphine Neimon from The Artchemists did an interview with Etienne Perrin, the director of the latest La//KVLKD’s music video “Taj Mahal”. If you want to know more about the video, you can find the article here. The pictures of that article were taken by Chloé “Swii” Li Fraine, also the cinematographer of the music video.

There’s lots of good news these days, and it’s all about La//KVLKD. Yeah you’ll hear a lot about them. Kitsuné just announced that the band will be part of the new Kitsuné Parisien Compilation Vol.2. They will be with many great bands like our friends Beataucue (watch our Dj set teaser for them here), Tomorrow’s World (the new band of Jean-Benoît Dunckel from Air), Juveniles and our buddy Pyramid. The compilation is out on February 13th. Don’t forget our music video for La//KVLKD is out since yesterday here.

Here we are. Now we can say it: our new music video will be for La//KVLKD. Yeah we worked for them last year for “Symptoms”. One year ago, This videoclip was elected best video of the year. We will release the video on January 3rd so stay tuned on our website. You’ll have to wait 8 days so we made a small teaser. It’s a kind of Christmas present, just for you:

Just a few words about the new video Etienne Perrin shot for Imetrages last week. This is a very special music video but we’d rather not say what band it is for. You will discover it in a few days so just be patient. The videoclip will be released in the middle of January. So yeah, you’ll have to be patient. Most of that article was made to introduce an amazing photographer, Maxime Lelong. He’s the one who took the picture you can see in the post and he’s also master when it comes to gig concerts. You can see the pictures he took for  Phoenix, Arcade Fire and ZZ Top on his flickr: Maxime Lelong Flickr. And if you love it: Maxime Lelong Facebook Page.

About a year ago, our music video “Symptoms” was elected Best Video Of the year by the blog “Électro Pépère”. “Symptoms” was the first single of La//KVLKD to be released on their first EP. A few days ago, the band published a new video on their Facebook page saying that “big news are coming”. We think it’s gonna be huge and cunning!

Hey buddies, just a word to say that we’re now on Twitter. Yes we know, we should be on that social network since a long time. Don’t hesitate to follow us here: Imetrages Twitter.

You don’t know it yet, but we directed the first music video of a band we really like: Salmon Fishers. This videoclip will be released on April 1^st on streaming platforms. The track is “From Ocean to Land” and you can join the Facebook event  for the release here.

You have probably noticed: since a few days ago, the website is written in English. Indeed, our move to London has imposed several changes like this.  We considered that the majority of Francophones who follow us understand English. The blog will be, for the moment, written in two languages. We hope it won’t be a problem for you!

We also want to introduce the new Imetrages team to you that evolved since last year. Romain Bourzeix (1) worked last year on the Destronics’ music video Feel in Color as special effects designer. We decided to recruit him in the team to working on special effects and 3D. Benjamin Ackoun (2) is also a new member. We work with him on Feel in Color too and he’s the new Imetrages executive producer for some projects like the new music video we directed in London this month. Sofiane Daouzli (6) was also director of photography on this shooting and we are proud to work with him in London. Celine Cavaillero (3) is our fashion consultant and photographer and will work with us on different projects in London, mostly specialized in fashion. Quentin Lechemia (5) is a member of Destronics and work with us as composer for different projects. The last one is the short film Bavardages that will be released this year. Yann Rimbaud is the Imetrages web manager and he’s here since the beginning in 2008 like Etienne Perrin (4) who is the founder and main director of Imetrages.

New members will come this year, we are still looking for directors and operators in London and in France. Don’t hesitate to send us your work.

Done! We have made our first music video in Great Britain. One year ago, it was in Miami for the band Victori4 and this month we have worked in London for a new pop artist. You will ear about her for a few weeks. Now, we can’t give more information, this is a work made with Alive Production and the music video will be released at the end of February. The team doesn’t change, Etienne Perrin is the director, Benjamin Ackoun the executive producer and we are proud to work anew with Joss Berlioux. Remember, last time was for Destronics’ music video for the track This Night a Soldier. We will give you more information when we have, for waiting don’t forget to check out the news on Imetrages this week…

It is to be noted than the French blog Bons Baisers D’ailleurs was on the shooting and wrote an article about it with some pictures. You can watch it here.

A few months ago, we filmed a DJ set for them: SomethingALaMode, a French band from Paris who is doing an important number of gigs with the Bloody Beetroots and The Toxic Avenger. The two friends who have worked with Karl Lagerfeld were in Lyon to accomplish the first part of the Bloody Beetroots. The gig was filmed and a part of this video will be available on the website in a few weeks. Few weeks because the Imetrages diary is very busy right now with, among others, the music video Feel in Color from Destronics that arrives very quickly.

We will not talk about video this time but about a blog we liked so well that we decided to participate in its development by making it some pictures for an article. This blog, it’s Bons Baisers D’alleurs, designed by a passionate called Celine. Young French recently expatriated in London, she speaks with a frankness about the latest trends without necessarily identify the mistake or negligence for fashion accessible for us. This is also what we like about this blog that you can read here: www.bonsbaisersdailleurs.com.

You are a lot to asking what is really La//KVLKD. Remember, a few days ago, we have shown you a teaser and a poster for the realease of the new Imetrages video that is available right now here. This video is a music video for La//KVLKD, pronounced La Cavalcade, which is an indie rock band. It’s their first music video and the track, Symptoms, will be available on their first EP Banderoles.

In January 2010, we already have worked with the Destronics on The Night a Soldier music video. Things have evolved since this date, starts with the release of their first album: Digital Naives. This album will be available on legal download platforms from September 11^th . The Imetrages team has had the chance to listen to it and we all agree that it is a fantastic work. Following the growing success of the band, we decided to work again together and we chose the track Feel in Color which is in the Digital Naives tracklist. For this collaboration, we are surrounded by several people, including Romain Bourzeix, special effects prodigy who had performed particularly the huge buzz in the video of the bus accident in Lyon which is available here.

Feel in Color music video will be available for the month of November. In the meantime, hurry up listening to Digital Naives, available this Saturday at this page.

Breakbot, Felix Da Housecat, La Roux, Danger, Benjamin Diamond, TEPR… The list could be longer and it’s though the important number of personalities who worked with DatA, an artist who never stopped to grow up in the last years. Steeped in electronic music since 2006, he has released last year his first album Skywriter.One in a Million, Aerius Light, Electric Fever or Rapture are different amazing tracks available on his fantastic album.
