The Octopus Project | I Saw The Bright Shinies Video
Let’s face facts. Music videos in general aren’t as innovative as they used to be. Depending on your source (ahem, MTV) a music video may be nothing more than a big budget special effects nightmare that has little or nothing to do with the subject matter of the song.
Luckily, with the rise of the internet and the proliferation of indie bands, creativity is returning to the music video. Case and point, The Octopus Project’s video for their song I Saw The Bright Shinies, animated / directed by Divya Srinivasan.
The animated video is well done and has clear ties to the intent of the song. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find an embeddable source anywhere, but you can click here to visit Peekaboo Records’ site and see the video for yourself. Be sure to come back and tell me what you think.
