It’s been years. I tried looking for it, but nothing I could find looks like what I’m thinking of.
Apparently there’s many reverse and some multiple show in reverse in one take now. The one I’m thinking of surely was one of the first, or the first of its kind.
But with how long ago it was and not a band or song I listened to, I can’t recall nor find.
Ok go! Have aan archive of songs that I don’t regularly listen to, but have really memorabele video clips. I likey them more for the videos than everything else.
Weezer - Pork and Beans. As someone who wasn’t even alive during the era of YouTube when it came out, it is really mesmerizing seeing that day’s stars all in one place. Not to mention the actual video is super funny and well done. The ending scene is so cathartic. Plus the song itself is cathcy and has a nice message.
Nigel Stanford has some amazing videoclips. I love Robots vs. Music the most (especially since the tune and the whole Automatica album is amazing), but Science vs. Music is also great.
And he also did a few making of videos. While I’m sure most of the final result is CGI anyway, it’s still a nice touch.
Peter Gabriel has a new album out with a bunch of videos produced with AI. I don’t think he meant them to be disturbing but I find them to be very so, in the way that AI when it gets things somewhat wrong is disturbing. I also think possibly his new songs were produced via AI as well - they sound a bit like music by an AI trained up on Peter Gabriel music.
Sledgehammer was fucking awesome, though - and it was done by the guy who went on to do the Wallace and Gromit series.
Death Grips? I love their music but their videos have always been incredibly boring for me, especially with Zach Hill’s background in video production and Stephan’s visual art background. Eh is the only song that comes to mind as having a good MV
