Some good music videos:

Of Montreal's "Requiem For A Dream" This video has a collage element to it, a random animation, made to look imperfect. The video plays with the idea of motion and perspective, it is shown so we feel like we're moving through the scenes and only selective elements move in each shot. I like the way the subjects move simplistically, the layering up of all the imagery, from pixel flowers, to multi coloured clouds, and photographic people. I especially like the bird made from lined paper. I think the style works perfectly with the song, which at times does sound like a computer game sound track which is mirrored in the video.



This is the music video for The Unicorns' 'Jellybones'. The video starts rather simply, but there is a visual theme with the brightened colours and all the pinks, then the scenes and aesthetics are driven by the changes in pace, from fast taking to the flashing, glow in the dark scene, to the slower scenes where our character dies from 'jellybones'. The band themselves are known for their comic, story driven songs, I like the way they even show death this way from the cartoon-esque crosses on his eyes.



This is 'said the spider to the fly' a video from The Paper Chase. I like the way they use the lighting and speed in this one. Sometimes effects like this can be overused, but i feel the combination of that with the light and the song work well. I also like the idea of people missing their heads, kind of simple but styling towards the song, the flashes of the singer create a kind of agitated feel, which is certainly driven by the piano and constant shouts in the background!
