The Wilderness Downtown
Choreographed windows, interactive flocking, custom rendered maps, real-time compositing, procedural drawing, 3D canvas rendering... this Chrome Experiment has them all. "The Wilderness Downtown" is an interactive interpretation of Arcade Fire's song "We Used To Wait" and was built entirely with the latest open web technologies, including HTML5 video, audio, and canvas.

Carl Burgess, Director of the Year's Creepiest, Coolest Music Video
The video for Ratatat's "Drugs" uses only stock images from Getty, to create something wholly weird and unique.
It's amazing what music and a few quick cuts will do to change the feeling of a video. One of the most brilliant "remixes" I've seen in a long time.
