Personally, I quite like it when a music video steps outside of itself. The first example I can really remember was a past-their-best Ultravox offering up this breather a mere 30 seconds into the video for Love's Great Adventure:
And then there's Closer, from Travis, which I've featured here before. Check this out from around 2:45, with peak outside-ness from 3:06. No points for ID'ing Ben Stiller.
Can you think of any other videos with a pause in the proceedings?
I've seen quite a lot of videos that use a similar technique, though I can't remember any off the top of my head. I'm still astounded that Ben Stiller was in a Travis video. How the hell did that happen?
ReplyDeleteI just found one... but I'm using it in Saturday Snapshots in a couple of weeks so I won't reveal it till then. (It also features another star guest.)
ReplyDeleteI await with interest...
