I surely do, more than I can express. The marrying of beautiful imagery and audio can be just breathtaking. Three or so minutes of perfection. That would be my dream lifestyle, really- to direct music videos. Whilst living out in the Mojave Desert. Mmm.
These are some of my favourite music videos from the past ten years. The ones that have inspired and affected me the most, and others that I just think are fun.
The Shins- Australia
This is a good example of a very fun video. What illustrates freedom better than a bunch of escaped convicts with tangerine balloons?
Department of Eagles- No One Does It Like You
I love Department of Eagles. No One Does It Like You is an eerie and beautiful song. The video truly does it justice. A beautifully choreographed battle sequence, complete with dancing amputees and singing ghosts.
The Postal Service- We Will Become Sillhouettes
I wish my life was like this music video.
Decemberists- Sixteen Military Wives
This video is very reminiscent of the film Rushmore, which is probably why I love it so much.
Beach House- Used To Be
This song means an awful lot to me, and so does the video. To me, it just captures the loss that comes with freedom. The loneliness you contract from being nowhere for too long. It's so Summery and beautiful.
I will definitely add to this.
