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.
So I love music videos as well as making my own, so I have a lot of favourites, but in particular half·alive’s music videos are amazingly done. The lead singer Josh Taylor is an incredible producer for his music videos as well as the band being amazing dancers. All of the videos off of their new album are amazing, but two that I will highlight are:
Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel is iconic, the claymation and dedication is insane for a music video from that time period
It’s okay to envy by Takayan is impressive for how it plays with the subtitling, trust me turn on Closed Captions for this and enjoy
Loretta by Ginger Root for how perfectly it captures an atmosphere and aesthetics of those late 80s/early 90s East/South East Asian music videos, it’s a vibe - plus him playing all members of the band/accompanying orchestra is also impressive in its own right
R.E.M. - Imitation of Life. The entire song happens in a few seconds, with all parts at the same time. The video keeps rewinding, each time showing one of the parts.
