Xu Xu Fang, 'China Girl' -- Video of the Day

Artist: Xu Xu Fang
Video: 'China Girl'
Highlight: "The video is quite dark with a seemly simple narrative about the mysterious demise of an old rancher," director Keith Musil tells Spinner. He's previously directed Fol Chen and Rainbow Arabia videos, as well as delightfully odd Skittles commercials, but this one "is meant to feel 100 percent cinematic, made to be more iconic than a typical music video. I wanted viewers to feel an emotional punch at the end of the video rather than simply be entertained. Interesting fact: the horse we used for the video is the same horse used throughout the popular video game 'Red Dead Redemption.'"

That has to be one of the most beautiful horses captured on film. This is really cool.

Beautiful, mesmerizing video as the producer takes us from the end to the beginning. Creative mix of sight and sound.

What a powerful video Xu Xu Fang. The colors, images all combine for spooky and suspenseful effect. Love the song too. I had never heard of this band, but am now a fan. Kudos.
