Arman Karkhanei

Iranian filmmaker Arman Karkhanei first came to our attention with his unofficial music video for Apparat’s "Goodbye." This beautiful and abstract performance piece brought his native Iran to life. While presenting a very contemporary art form, he captures the essence of a thousand years.

About TikiKiti

We Love Indie
Music Producers!


Celebrating the indie fan-made and unofficial music video producer - that’s who we are.

Have fan-made, or unofficial music videos?

We rate the best fan-made and unofficial music video and award the best ones with the Barclay Award.

If you want, we will promote your videos!

Because successful producers make great fan-made and unofficial music videos.

How We Rate?

We curate and exhibit indie music videos. From the thousands of student, fan-made and unofficial videos submitted to YouTube daily, we bring you the best. We rate videos on three criteria: production quality, creativity/performance and editing.

Production

Production

Cinematography, lighting, camera movements, sets, locations — all of these make up what we call “Production Quality.” And it doesn’t mean a big budget. It’s more about great ideas and inspired execution.

Creativity & Performance

Creativity/Performance

We put these two together because they are so linked especially since so many
videos involve acting, singing and dancing. Standing out in the crowd requires creativity, energy and originality.

Production

Editing

Cutting on motion, guiding eye movement, color timing... this is where good
videos come together. Good editing is more than just cutting on the beat, and it
helps good ideas and performances shine.

TikiKiti Awards: Winter 2023

Typically distracted by the shinier things, we’ve lost another battle with the calendar, and are forced to condense missing months into manageable chunks until we catch up to the present and avoid all those late fees.
