2. Oscar fischinger
Oskar Wilhelm Fischinger was a German-American
abstract animator, filmmaker, and painter, notable for
inventing abstract musical animations many decades
before the appearance of computer graphics and music
videos. In his films the cut out paper moves with the beat
of the tune, which is one of Goodwin's Rules.
3. Soundies
• Soundies were three-minute musical films, produced in
New York City, Chicago, and Hollywood, between 1940 and
1946, often including short dance sequences, similar to
later music videos. The completed Soundies were generally
released within a few months of their filming. The films
were displayed on the Panoram, a coin-operated film
jukebox or machine music, in nightclubs, bars, restaurants,
factory lounges, and amusement centers.
4. Scopitones
• Scopitone is a type of jukebox featuring a 16 mm film
component. Scopitone films were a forerunner of
music videos. Based on Soundies technology
developed during WWII, color 16 mm film clips with a
magnetic soundtrack were designed to be shown in a
specially designed jukebox.
5. A hard days night
This film was made to promote a album and was
like a music video, it was new because it hadn't
been done before.
6. Queen bohemian rhapsody
Though some artists had made video clips to accompany
songs including Queen, however it was only after the
success of "Bohemian Rhapsody" that it became regular
practice for record companies to produce promotional
videos for artists' single releases. These videos could then
be shown on television shows, such as the BBC's Top of
the Pops, without the need for the artist to appear in
person.
7. Mtv
First video was called ‘video killed the radio star’
by Buggles, which was a very clever choice
because they were in a way saying that they
were going to kill radio. MTV was important
because it was the first channel which just
showed music videos, unlike top of the pops etc.
The entire day consisted of just music videos.
8. YouTube
• Brought videos onto internet, made them
global and increased revenue and more
people had access to them. Brought around
late 2006 and has been owned by Google
since the start.
