M83 video contest winner

I feel like this is turning into a music blog and that isn't my intention but music is a huge part of my life. M83 is a band I fell in love with this year and they recently held a video competition for a track from their most recent album Saturdays = Youth. The track is called "We Own The Sky" and in my opinion it is a really good piece of music on its own and it sets up the stage perfectly for some good slow motion video. As a result, almost all of the competition entries I watched a few months back consisted of slow motion shots as does this winning entry. This video capitalizes on the track title in a creative way as you'll see towards the end. If you are not familiar with M83's music you should check it out. Most of it is pretty mellow even compared to this track being that it is part of the shoegaze genre. I have a lot of M83 albums and they are perfect to relax to so get your hands on them.
