Photo by Alyssa Shakur. Brooke Candy first caught our attention a few months ago when she appeared in the music video for “Genesis” by Grimes. At that point, she was a pink-haired, sword-wielding mystery to us, but that all changed last week. On Tuesday, Brooke’s video for “Das Me” hit the internet… Read More

Anyone who has seen our promotional video “FilmedInsert Takes LA” knows that director Dugan O’Neal is an amazing and hilarious actor (and also knows that the name of this website used to be FilmedInsert).

Matt & Kim released their new music video for "Let's Go" today, but it's exclusive to Funny or Die. Currently, our standard video pages don't support Funny or Die embeds. A lot of IMVDb is a work in progress (as you know), and we aren't set up for everything yet. But, good news!… Read More

That's a little bit of a dramatic title, but I think now that we've made a decision to put ourselves out there in the world as the music video database, we need to put out a reason for our existence beyond just the fact that we like music videos. The… Read More

We've been putting a lot of time and energy in our music video database project lately, but something was bothering us: our name.
