History of Music Videos (4)

Finally I looked at Peter Gabriel's song Sledgehammer which is a great example of how stop-start  animation can be used.

The camera stays stationary whilst Peter Gabriel's face sings the lyrics, this allows objects to move around him whilst he remains static. The images on screen are literal to the lyrics being sung, for example when he says "you could have a steam train" the train appears on screen. The video fits in with Sven E Carlson's theory and is an art clip due to its more experimental sound.
