Radiohead - Street Spirit (Fade Out)

The techniques used to render separate objects in the same frame moving at varying speeds (i.e. one person in slow motion while the other is at regular speed) plays tricks on the viewer’s mind and adds to the unsettling effects of the music. Although after a while the special effects seem over used and begin to be just one trick after a nother without a storyline - but cool nonetheless.

Directed by Jonathan Glazer in 1995. Perhaps his finest work in music videos is UNKLE - Rabbit in Your Headlights

UNKLE - Rabbit in Your Headlights

Dark and disturbing music video - obviously a commentary on modern society, but I will leave the symbolism to your own interpretations.

Directed By Jonathan Glazer, a British director known for original music videos since the mid-1990s and was named MTV Director of the Year 1997. He has also directed the films “Sexy Beast” (2000 starring Ben Kingsley) and “Birth” (2004 starring Nicole Kidman).
