Speaking of public archive footage (last week), today I saw a wonderful music video for UK band Fenech-Soler called I Need Love. The slow motion ballet dancing looks modern and fits the airy electro dance sound well, emphasising the emotion of the music. Despite looking quite modern, the footage is from a 1972 film by Norman McLaren featuring Canadian ballet dancers David and Anna Marie Holmes. Proof once again that not all music videos need brand new footage but sight and sound complimenting each other.

(Is this a fan-made video? It was just posted to YouTube but I’m unsure who the smartypants was that decided to combine the music with the ballet footage!)
