Videos that look like photography
« on: September 05, 2007, 02:24:10 AM »
starting a weird thread here...any music videos you know or like that have a photographic quality? maybe you see multiple instances that would make great photos, or maybe they are just like moving still photos (how 1895 of me). here is one that comes to mind for me, "Born on a Train" by The Magnetic Fields:

This is a good thread, Sean, my only issue is that I've always hated MTV and my tribe has never been big on music videos anyway....so, I'm not going to be able add much to this one although I am trying hard to come up with something.

Does it make you itch too?

Edited to add:  Wonder if your friend has seen Prospero's Books.  This is a cool piece of work I think.

Like this lots, very eerie and atmouspheric, feels as if there is a story that goes behind it that I cannt quite see.  Clever, thanks Terrorkitten  :)
