In the Spirit of Music Videos: Dance Sucka
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

In the Spirit of Music Videos: Nuclear Archives
As will happen when something is public domain, good things happen. When not restriced by intellectual property, arts are free to play with someon else's work and new life is given to older work. Case-in-point is this strangely coordinated music video for John Dufilho's "I'm Gonna Stay Under These

In the Spirit of Music Videos: Field Day
With every 100 obligatory "band playing in a big empty field" music video, there are inevitably a couple that actually get it right. Make it look pretty. Give it some sort of a storyline. Make it MORE than just another band, in a field, singing. Which is why this music video by Sound & Shape for t
