Ok, here’s how it works, I’ll post two Videos, make a write up and you will discuss them.
http://youtube.com/w/Radiohead---Just?v=MW4fKM2CiwM&search=Radiohead
The First Video is from Radiohead, called Just.
Year of Release: 1995
Album: The Bends
Director: Jonathan Glazer
Location: Liverpool Street Station
The Story:
The video is filmed in two locations, one is in the street following a man who suddenly lies down on the floor; and the other is on a room filming Radiohead playing the song.
While the man is down, many people go to talk to them but the man is basically shocked, people try to ask him what is wrong and the man only says to leave him alone. At the final moment the man says “"Yes I'll tell you, I'll tell you why I'm lying here... but God forgive me... and God help us all... because you don't know what you ask of me." Then the camera focus on the man’s mouth and when the camera zooms back there’s people lying on the ground around the man.
What did the man said?, no one knows.
The second video is from Peter Gabriel, called Sledgehammer.

Year of release: 1986
Album: So
Director: Stephen R. Johnson
Location: Ardman Animations Studios
Not a real story, but great animation:
‘Till this day, Sledgehammer is one of the most innovating videos in history, the claymation and the stop motion animation work is outstanding.
The cool thing about this video is when he mentions something on the song; let’s say the big dipper, the background turns into a chalkboard with drawings of a rollercoaster. Somehow some of the lyrics are related to the animation.
The legacy of this video is visible in some later works, such as Tool Videos, Alice in Chains Videos even Green Jelly.
Ok, I’m planning to make this a series thread, so if you have some suggestions it will be more than thankful.
I’m open to some video requests as long as they are innovating.
