Video: FRANK OCEAN [swim good]

So, the VMA's are a complete joke right? Well, I'm not so sure anymore. Mixed in with your run-of-the-mill Justin Bieber and Katy Perry clips, there's actually quite a few great music videos nominated this year from some of the most groundbreaking directors working today like Romain Gavras , Keith Schofield , Nabil and Yoann Lemoine . My list of the top 10 videos nominated is below (this way, you won't have to actually watch the VMAs): 10. Calvin Harris "Feel So Close" (dir. Vincent Haycock) [...]

FRANK OCEAN [swim good] from nabil elderkin on Vimeo .

Frank Ocean is easily one of my most favorite member of of the Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All (OFWGKTA) crew. His talent level is exceptional and the Nostalgia, Ultra album is just a solid listen from beginning to end.  For a crew that's not really known for clean glossy shiny things, this video [...]

I'm gone on record verbally and pretty sure I've put it in writing, but here goes... Frank Ocean's Nostalgia, Ultra is one of my favorite albums (mixtapes) from this year. Safe to say it will be making our list. With that being said, Frank Ocean hooks up again with Nabil Elderkin for his track, Swim Good .

It's been hard to ignore Frank Ocean this past year. He is not only obtaining huge success thanks to the internet, but his affiliation with Odd Future has helped as well. Ocean is a R&B force, and 2011 has been his year. Just like Toronto's The Weeknd , there have been some cool unofficial videos for Ocean's collection of jams. Yet, this past week we saw two official releases from him, "Thinking About You," and "Swim Good." The video for "Swim Good" actually features Ocean in almost the whole [...]

You can't say we weren't expecting it. The Odd Future crooner and overall R&B songwriting legend-in-the-making Frank Ocean is going hard in the paint right now. Never mind the two huge guest spots on one of the year's most highly anticipated hip-hop records ( Kanye West & Jay-Z 's Watch The Throne ), the New Orleans native is now the R&B and pop community's figure-at-large at the moment with all eyes fixated firmly on the 23 year old. To somewhat satiate the hoards of now-salivating fans & on-lookers, two new creatively [...]

I can't tell you how many unofficial videos that claim to be from Frank Ocean I've seen. I think we're at the point with YouTube and Vimeo and the availiblity of cameras such...

One of my favorite tracks of 2011 now has some official visuals to accompany it, and they're bizarre to say the least. We're working with a panda mask, a samurai sword, and some car explosions in this one. Keep doing you Frank. Shout out to Jimbo for holding the site down on Friday while I live the dream down in tax-free Delaware for the weekend. Tweet

If you thought that last Frank Ocean video was hard to follow then you might have some trouble wrapping your head around this one. Long story short: Ocean grabs a samurai sword, kills somebody, blows up his car, puts on a panda mask, and then stares at a bird. Directed by Nabil Elderkin , the same dude who did the video for "Novacane". Hey, sometimes a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

i've gotten a lot of grief from friends about not liking frank ocean but after this i'm going to have to revisit those opinions. visuals for the joint swim good. directed: nabil elderkin

Odd Future crooner Frank Ocean has been subject of many unofficial videos for budding filmmakers, but this week saw, not one, but two official music videos from Ocean . Today came "Swim Good", one of many highlights from Ocean's debut mixtape, Nostalgia, Ultra , just a day after the video for mixtape-less single "Thinking About You" surfaced.

It appears that there is no shortage of visual interpretations for Frank Ocean songs as the Odd Future singer lets go of his second video of the week. First is was "Thinking About You", and now we have a Nabil Elderkin directed set for the nostalgia, Ultra . cut, "Swim Good". Featuring Frank driving down the coastline in his throwback stretch Lincoln, I can't really think of a better way to represent this standout track. Hit the skip to watch the video. [...]

Frank Ocean rocks a panda mask (same one as that Fader cover , I think) and ninja garb in this new clip for Nostalgia, Ultra banger "Swim Good," and the video is certainly a little more straightforward than yesterday's freaky shaman-filled affair. It involves Frank, yet again, pushing a whip - this time an orange stretch limo - down an open stretch of road . Nabil Elderkin, which is a dope Middle Earth name, directs. Read More...

Nabil Elderkin has worked with the likes of Kanye West, Nas and Bon Iver in the past and today he's let loose some visuals he's created for Frank Ocean. Is it me, or are we getting a lot from Frank Ocean at the moment? It's not a bad thing by any means! The director has created this visual for Frank's nostalgia,Ultra stand-out cut, "Swim Good". The video portrays Frank as a samurai sword bearing ninja on-the prowl in his trusty limousine. Yeah, it's a little weird, but we've come to expect this from the OF crooner. [...]

Another day, another high gloss Vimeo clip from Frank Ocean. This time director Nabil Elderkin serves up a fairly literal interpretation of "Swim Good," Nostalgia, Ultra's most heart-wrenching metaphor. It does however feature an explosion, ... read more �
