Interesting Videos

David Bowie - Ashes To Ashes

David Bowie's "Ashes To Ashes" video is extremely strange and surreal. The video goes well with the funky, electronic, yet bizarre music. The retro colours are used in an interesting way and give the image a very wierd touch. There are also animated elements to the video, such as the truck behind the four figures seen at the top.



Arctic Monkeys - Leave Before the Lights Come On

This video for Arctic Monkeys' single "Leave Before the Lights Come On" is a personal favourite of mine. I love the narrative. A woman pretends to commit suicide frequently to catch the affections of men who try and stop her. Its a brilliant idea and its executed brilliantly. I love music videos with narratives, and I hope my video will be something like this, spliced with footage of the band performing the song as well, however.



Dire Straits - Money For Nothing

Groundbreaking video for Dire Straits' single "Money For Nothing". It was one of the first ever music videos to incorporate CG animation and it was the second to ever been shown on MTV.
