YouTube Resuscitates the Music Video

Watching Ok Go’s video for Here it Goes Again, I’m reminded how grateful I am that YouTube and it’s ilk have rescued the music video from MTV’s reality-sleeze wasteland. It’s the perfect match:videos are pure marketing, little commercials for the artists, but have evolved into an artform and fertile training ground for talented filmmakers. A win win situation as far as I can see.
