Alternative music is seen as the more commercial end of the Rock/Metal industry, I prefer the other genre's personally but there are several notable exceptions to the rule namely the songs posted here that offer a different approach to how a music video is done.
Foo Fighters: Wheels http://www.vimeo.com/8944342
The video follows the band and uses many different shot types and angles. These make the song quite boring similar to the Dragonforce video. However the reason I choose this video as inspiration is because of the effect playing behind the band with the clouds souring over the band is a nice feature and simple to do, by leaving a camera out all day makes for a good effect.
OKGO: Here It Goes Again http://www.vimeo.com/8267567
Changed the music video industry and created a massive amount of spin offs to the video. The whole video is done in one take due to the fixed camera. Done on a low budget with the right amount of practice my actors could easily redo it. However finding eight treadmils is hard.The video is important as it proved that low budget videos can be popular and as succesful a mega budget music videos.
Michael Jackson: Thriller http://www.vimeo.com/5355461
Changed the music industry and made the album the biggest selling album ever. period. The dance is now iconic, and set a bench mark for all future pop video, with nearly all popular music videos containing a dance of some sort however as I am doing a rock video this will not be useful for me as rock videos dont not have dancing. However the video suggests that the theme must reflect the content of the video which is key for all videos.
