Daft Punk and Adam Freeland Team Up for Obama Video
A diverse cast of characters are on display in this new video from Daft Punk and Adam Freeland in honor of the President-elect. My favorite part is Obama flying through space to type his name out on a giant Texas Instruments Speak & Spell.
Watch it, AFTER THE JUMP...
Americablog is right — John McCain would never get a video like this.

Right now, Kanye West is trying to figure out how he can "sample" this and turn it into a top 40 hit.

That's almost as trippy as the Bollywood Obama video. I had a visual contact high. The speak and say segment ... wow. I don't know what to say.

I adored Speak and Spell, and without it would still not know how to spell "bureau."

i like the way their styles compliment each other. i've always preferred freeland to daft punk (i've always found them a little cheesy) but it's nice how they soften the edges to adam freeland's hardass breakbeat sound while freeland toughen's up the daft punk boys very nicely.
good job and the video production was a lot of fun too.
