Your Favourite Music Video Clips
What are your favourite music video clips? I don't generally watch any of the music video shows, but there have been some absolutely brilliant video clips I've seen on Rage at times. Here are a list of my all time favourites.
[url="http://www.sva.edu/salon/salon_10/artwork.php?artwork=66"]Bjork, All is full of Love[/url] - by Chris Cunningham. This is my favourite video clip of all time, and I'm sure all of you would love it too. It's won so many awards as well. Great android design, nice set, and it all fits great with the song.. I think Chris Cunningham spent about a year working with Stanley Kubrick on the android designs in A.I (which I'm sure you know Spielberg took over later on when Kubrick passed away)..

Aphex Twin, Come to Daddy - another clip by Chris Cunningham. Great directing and photography, and it's an interesting clip. To sum it up, an old lady and her dog stumbles onto a tv in the 'burbs which strangely flickers on.. then some children run a riot past her (all of whom have the same head model on - it's quite a bizzare but great imagery), grab the tv, terrorise some guy in a car, then take it to a room where an evil being morphs out of the screen.. I think MTV in America stopped showing this clip because it was too bizarre and evil. [:)]
Leftfield, afrika shox - Ok, another clip by Chris Cunningham. Most of his clips border on strange or bizarre subjects, and this is another one of them.. The clip has a paranoid kinda guy running running through a city, and bits of him break off. [:)] I won't list anymore of the video clips by Chris, since he's done so many good ones. He has a DVD out with lot of his video clips and commentary if you want to check it out.
Roykson, Remind Me - All graphic designers love this music clip. It's an animated sequence on a persons day from waking up till finishing work. Lots of isometric artwork, industrial diagram-like pictures/animated sequences, and stuff in the style of the airline safey pictures you see in Fight Club.
[url="http://www.inmusicwetrust.com/articles/62e06.html"]Enon, In this city[/url] - Designers will love this one too. Made by the same people who did the Queens of the Stoneage clip (forgot the song, but the clip has them playing on a truck/car, on a highway through the desert.. flat colours, lots of psychadelic imagery)
Gorillaz, Clint Eastwood - Most of you would have seen this one. Nice animation.
REM - Ok, I don't know the song name, but it's the clip where the band is singing at some pool party. There's tonnes of people everywhere, and the clip forwards, rewinds, zooms up close to people - and their mouths will match with the words sung in the song. Ingenius - no idea how they did it. [:)]
[url="http://www.mill.co.uk/engage_search_articles.php?id=1331"]Radiohead, Go to Sleep[/url] - Great clip. They just scanned Tom Yorke singing in 3D. No touching up whatsoever, so you get a tonne of bad edges, but hey, it doesn't matter because it all looks very arty. [:)] Lots of crashing 3d buildings too.
Junior Senior, Move your feet. Love the pixel art animation!!












Street Spirit - Radiohead. Black and white, speeding up and down in time while other parts of the clip in normal time.
Beastie Boys, You gotta fight (for your right to party) or whatever it was called. Just a really corny cool clip.
Radiohead, that cartoon one where he plays table tennis with the angel. This was just a whacked out clip.
Any flim clip with the scantily clad ladies isn't bad either.
CYer, Blitz
pearl jam - do the evolution
tool - sober
points of authority - linkin park (the big 3D one)
i dont know what the song is or who its by, but its got like these wierd 3D tic tac men running around getting killed by big black 3D wasps...tis pretty cool
beastie boys - sabotage
Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up
All the Tools videos - Adam Jones (the guitarist) is just a heck of an artist, and he worked on Terminator 2 also.
Some of the White Stripes videos are cleverly shot, like the lego one, or the one where they zoom repeatively into each other with that red white and black theme, or the latest one where they leave all the instruments everywhere... They're not brilliant, but they're good.
I also like a fair few of the Chemical brothers videos, especially the new one "Get yourself high"...
Aphex Twin of course... all of their stuff rox0rz my jox0rz.
Electric Six - Gay Bar... thats the best clip ever if you ask me. Its the funniest thing you'll ever see.
Atari Teenage Riot - Revolution Action. Destroy 2000 years of culture is also damn good, but its impossible to find.
Daft Punk - Around the World... *dances*
Glassjaw - Cosmopolitan Blood Loss... pissed off looking guy strutting and being mean to everyone.
Marilyn Manson - Sweet Dreams.
Primus - Winonas Big Brown Beaver... COWBOYS!!!
Presidents of USA - Peaches... NINJAS!!!
Prodigy - Babys got a Temper. Mmmmmm.
Ween - Push the lil Daisies... cool retard hat. Also Freedom of '76 for just being weird.
Rollins Band - Liar.
Smashing Pumpkins - Ava Adore... for being artsy and cleverly shot.
Ohgr - Minus... Has Nivek Ogre from Skinny Puppy... who nobody will know or understand. [:P]
Nine Inch Nails - The perfect drug. A very moody and atmospheric clip.
I definately agree with you there! Todd McFarlane does an awesome job with DTE.
yeah its a great vid.
i just downloaded Prodigy, Smack My Bitch Up....what a crack up.
i liked the parts where she gave the finger to everyone then started smashing a chair over someones head..followed by crashing into the toilet and pulling some guy of the crapper ;lol
You guys watch music video clips???
Creepy...
gorillaz - 19/2000
i love this clip, its cooky and funny, i dont know if youve seen it but i laughed when the jeep went up and the rockets came out beneath it, it was just so nutty.
this is a pic of the moose from the vid clip that i made into a sig for a different forum:

I would have to say any Cannibal Corpse clip. They look like they have just grabbed their mates, an old black and white video camera, and gone to work! :)
Also the first Cradle of Filth clip (From the Cradle* to Enslave) was good, with deformed midgets (sorry, height disadvantaged), amputees and daemons with large phalluses everywhere. Great stuff! Hanging out for the new Dimmu clip though... :)
*Replace 'Cradle' with 'Sellout'
Benny Benassi - Satisfaction
Not every single one [;)].. most pop music videos are pretty generic and forgettable. I'm talking about the video clips that are like shortfilm, and are works of art in their own right - and in some cases are a lot more interesting than the music they're promoting.
If you haven't seen it already, try and get a look at that Bjork video clip!
And yeh, Radiohead and Aphex Twin have the strangest and most interesting video clips. Another cool video clip is Judith by A Perfect Circle. It's directed by David Fincher (Seven, Fightclub). Very grungy effects, like what you see in the opening to the movie Seven.
Benny Benassi - Satisfaction ?? There were two versions of that. One with the group standing still and mouthing the words while a lot of design effects were happening.. and then there's that other one with the females in bikinis with powertools. [;)]
bikinis and powertools.....
At the moment I'd agree with Inglis, that video clip is excellent! And the Chemical Brothers: Get yourself high.
whats that dance track on the radio at the moment by "junior senior" or something, that has the most cooky vid clip, and its all done in old style sprite animation :P
"get naked!"
oh...the Hanaka (sorry about the spelling) Punk Song on Adam Sandlers album...
that clip is funny
MoonUnit; Junior Senior, Move Your Feet
I downloaded it a week or so ago =D
Deftones - My summer (Shove It)-the DBZ one done by black Goku
well it's not the actual clip but it was made by some guy named black goku. It's is based on Dragon Ball Z i've caused and it get's the adreniline firing.
Static-X - Black and White.
Firstly you got to love wayne statics hair. This video clip starts of with all of them frozen and one by one they come to life. But that is about it. Nothing to fancy but i love it.
Fatman Scoop & ? - Be Faithful
Strange bobbing head people are kool
if you have seen it, what'd you think of The Offspring's 'Hit That' video clip?
The new Powderfinger music clip is okay. Like a mix between Samuri Jack and Dragon Ball Z. When I was a kid I used to love the clay animation music clip "three little pigs" (sorry I forget the band).
red hot chilli peppers - californication
mmm gameness :D
