GROUP 01 - Music Video 2008/9

Friday 3 October 2008



This video is called Windowlicker the artist is Richard D James (Aphex Twin). It is a unusual video this is the reason for its greatness and was nominated best music video at the brit awards 2000. The video is a ten-minute long parody of contemporary American gangsta hip-hop music videos. In the video, two foul-mouthed young men (a Latino and an African American) in Los Angeles are window-shopping for prostitutes. The opening is just like a typical American thriller.

suddenly, a ridiculously long white limousine crashes into the two men in a black Mazda (MX5) convertible, and a "pimped-out" Richard D. James, displaying a surreal amount of wealth and power, emerges with his signature fixed grin. The two women, among others, accompany James in his limousine while their faces morph into James's own likeness.

I really like this video in the way that it is very different to normal music videos.
