icepixieCheck this out: Treadmill dancing!
Tonight I also saw for the first time the video for A-ha's Take On Me. Dude, that is AWESOME! Very eighties, but AWESOME! I have to say, I would be much more into comics if they came to life like that. *g*
Also, here's a very cool-looking commercial I'd never seen before: some kind of TV from Sony.
Anyone got any favorite music videos (or just cool videos) they want to share? I never watched MTV as a kid (you know, when it still showed music videos), but I've recently discovered a deep love for videos with lots of special effects or animation, or else with excessively intricate and colorful costumes and sets. (For example: Don't Come Around Here No More - Tom Petty [even-crackier-than-usual Alice in Wonderland theme; I think Alice-as-a-cake at the end is going to give me nightmares] Virtual Insanity - Jamiroquai [I read how it was done, and it's still frakking with my mind], or Bachelorette - Bjork.)

Date: 2008-04-15 03:22 am (UTC)Seriously?? It's always pretty high on the "Top 100 Videos" lists and all that. I never watched much MTV, either, but that one totally stuck with me.
Other cool ones, at least as I remember it - Peter Gabriel had some wacky ones ("Sledgehammer", iirc) that kinda creeped me out.
I know you don't like them, but Genesis' "Land of Confusion" is one of my favorites - puppets! *g*
Paula Abdul had a cool one that's based off Rebel Without a Cause, iirc. "Rush, Rush" - that's the one Keanu Reeves was in...
"Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits was funky... Highly animated, I think.
And as embarrassed as I am to say this, I thought Michael Jackson's "Black or White" was really cool. I think the end of it was the first time the whole morphing effect was really used in something mainstream.
Oooh, "Right Now" by Van Halen was nifty, and I don't even like them.
"Human" by Human League is like the first fan vid, I swear. *g*
Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl" and "Longest Time" ones are fun, too.
I don't know if these all really fit the "intricate" or "special-effecty" categories, but I was always partial to the ones that are like a little movie. So! Hopefully there's something in there you'll like! *g*

Thanks for the suggestions! I actually watched "Right Now" last night too--very cool!

Date: 2008-04-21 06:09 pm (UTC)Okay, scratch that, because I completely screwed up both the song and artist. DUH.
"I Don't Want to Live Without You" by Foreigner is like the first fan vid, I swear. *g*
