sunbeam60,

I know it’s old, and maybe others have mentioned it already, but Michael Jackson - Thriller was a revolution when it came out.

Turn Down For What?

Same directors as Everything everywhere all at Once.

yumcake,

Came here to post this one. I saw that movie on the airplane without knowing anything about it, and immediately thought, “This movie was made by the guys who filmed the ‘Turn Down for What’ music video.” I didn’t even know their names, had to confirm my guess after landing.

Because the music video and their directorial style are that distinctive and memorable. It was not surprising at all that they got showered in awards, those guys are creative AF.

Quite a few Ok Go videos.

This one involves drone footage, a fucktonne of choreography, an entire school of Japanese children and a horde of Honda handlebarless e-scooters. m.youtube.com/watch?v=u1ZB_rGFyeU&pp=ygUmSmFw…

mitchell,

They constantly outdo themselves! I Won’t Let You Down and (both versions of) This Too Shall Pass are my favourites.

Bjork - All is Full of Love was bloody awesome!

A few directed by Ritchie Cunningham, he often collaborates with Aphex Twin and Björk.

Prodigy’s “Smack my bitch up” That video just had excellent camera work and a surprise twist at the end.

Pretty much all videos of Daft Punk’s “Discovery” Album.

Jamiroquai “Virtual Insanity” Simple setup, but great execution.

A few from Peter Gabriel come to mind as well.

ChickenLadyLovesLife,

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.

A$AP Rocky’s Testing era had some great ones with very impressive editing

Kids Turned Out Fine

A$AP Forever

Sundress

These are some of my favorite animated music videos:

Stuck in the Sound - Let’s Go

Dan Deacon “When I Was Done Dying”

And finally, the mixtape visualizer from Hi This is Flume is really damn cool.

I have a playlist with some more.

Potential seizure warning for some or all of the posted links.

Edit: Seizure warning due to flashing lights

The Holidays - Voices Drifting

I can’t hold my breath for nearly that long

fiat_lux,

Seizure warning for the above link

It's a nice video, but I can't watch more than a few seconds because of the flashing lights.

Sorry about that

dolle,

Most of Michel Gondry’s music videos are pretty impressive. For example: Cibo Matto - Sugar Water, Chemical Brothers - Star Guitar and Kylie Minogue - Come Into My World

Kina Granis - In Your Arms

It’s all stop motion with jelly beans.

Here is the making of it.

Absolutely loved this. Never heard of the artist before this (though clearly she is very popular!). She seemed to have a lot of fun making the video.

The only thing that disappointed me was learning that a bunch of people had to volunteer their time to make this. Surely this made lot of money for the artist and video producers, could it really be that the margins were too thin to compensate all the people working on this?

thelastknowngod,

I hear you but, to be fair, she wasn’t popular when this came out… She was just some nobody artist. This went semi-viral at the time and that’s how she became more widely known.

bugsmith,
@bugsmith@programming.dev avatar

Fair enough. And I’m sure the people who volunteered were probably thrilled to be involved with the project, it really is a brilliant piece of work.

Adrenaline by Kontra K The video definitely does not show the artist himself surfing a Berlin S-Bahn in broad daylight.

Some of the ones that first came to mind are already mentioned, but I still wanted to include

Depeche Mode - Wrong

It’s quite dark, but it still gives me shivers every time I watch it.

sunbeam60,

The funny thing is that video was made waaay after the age of music videos had ended. It’s like DM just decided to pretend it hadn’t.

It could just be that they aren’t aware of the awesome ones.
Consider the entire thread an opportunity to correct them of their misconception :)
