Interesting Music Video

R.E.M. Imitation of Life

I've never seen this music video before but it's actually pretty clever. They have a single scene that lasts like 30 seconds and are continually rewinding and replaying it to show off all of the different actions going on. I'm sure that plenty of it was made in separate takes or edited in but the actual presentation of it is really neat!

Original version of It's My Life by Talk Talk:

There are two versions of the video for "It's My Life." The first, envisioned by director Tim Pope as a statement against the banality of lip-synching, consists almost entirely of footage from wildlife documentaries, interspersed with shots of Talk Talk lead singer Mark Hollis standing in the midst of the London Zoo, with his mouth pointedly shut tight and often obscured by hand-drawn animated lines. The second version, recorded at the behest of EMI, consisted of the entirety of the original video projected on a green screen behind Hollis on guitar and vocals as well as his two bandmates as they lip-synched and mimed the song, deliberately poorly and with comic exaggerated gestures.

Apparently it wasnt just music ethics why he didn't like lipsyncing. Marc also had a great deal of difficulty actually doing it. He just couldn't get the timing. Must have been tough in the studio.
