"The Neighbourhoods Rise"
From the album Lost Voices
Video by Clyde Henry Productions
...
Montreal's Clyde Henry Productions created this video by individually filming the members of Esmerine in performance and then projecting footage onto constructivist-inspired sculptures of the band. These “puppets” were then animated by hand to synch, frame for frame, with the live performances projected upon the sculptural forms.

"Snow Day For Lhasa"
From the album La Lechuza
Made by Brad Todd
...
Montreal-based visual artist Brad Todd created a series of minimal looped video pieces projected during Esmerine's album launch concert in Montreal in June 2011, using found footage of owls as his source. Lhasa loved owls.
This video for "Snow Day For Lhasa" juxtaposes two of Todd's treatments, which degrade/reify one against the other in a long visual crossfade of sorts.
