Most music videos, especially modern ones, are pretty boring.

Big Data and Joywave - Dangerous (it's pretty NSFW btw.).

I still remember how i heard that tune for the first time and how surprised i was in which direction the music video went.

That's a whole movie. I watched both, quite good.

Highly Suspect - Lydia

Marina Kazankova (the freediver) filmed the entire thing in one take, no cuts or edits...bonkers.

I can't remember the band or the song, but I remember the VH1 pop-up version where they told you tidbits during the video. The whole thing was 1 take (shot on film in those days) and included a part where they passed the camera through a car. The camera operator had to hand the camera off to someone, run around to the other side of the car and then take it back without it looking like that happened, and while everyone was singing in time. I was a film student at the time and in awe about how well it was done. So much so that I can still see that part, but I cannot remember the song.

Please update if you remember. I've been digging through 1 shot videos, but haven't found it yet.

I always admired the concept for the video for Stone Sour’s “Through Glass.”

I personally find the music video for Radioactive by Imagine Dragons to be absolutely hilarious. The juxtaposition of serious and nonsense is so good, it just gets me every time. Even though I think the actual song is way better as covered by Within Temptation. Seriously though, go watch that music video and tell me it's not hilarious.

death grips and crumb have some great music videos

i also think always by blink 182 is amazing, love the idea and exectution

[-] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

Björk have made some that are absolutely spectacular, she has a way of making you feel what she feels with her voice and the visual impressions, she pulls you into her world. She's one of those artists that are completely unique and deeply talented.
