I'm looking for music videos in which most scenes are shot on a white backdrop. I think this is perhaps another cliche of music videos...

Here's a couple examples, but lets make a definitive list...

David Bowie - Be My Wife

talking heads - crosseyed and painless

cat power - cross bones style

         

Stone Temple Pilots - Big Bang Baby Tony Basil - Mickey Jet - Are You Gonna Be My Girl

         

Are you in advertising? Is this querie for a rip?

         

See: videos.antville.org Best white screen video ever?

Also, PJ Harvey - This is Love www.youtube.com

         

recent one: videos.antville.org

         

Here're one:

Snowden- Like Bullets videos.antville.org

         

snoop feat pharell --- drop it like its hot

         

genesis - I can't dance

         

So, so many.. Tons of obscure emo, R&B, dance, and early 80's vids..

nine inch nails "march of the pigs" Madonna "Lucky Star", "Human Nature" Monster Magnet "Heads Explode" Rembrandts "I'll Be There For You" Presidents of the USA "Some Postman" Jesus Jones "Real, Real, Real" (Pedro Romhanyi!) Crystal Waters "Gypsy Woman", "Relax" Des'ree "You Gotta Be" Terence Trent D'Arby feat. Des'ree "Delicate" Seal "Crazy", "Future Love Paradise", "Prayer For the Dying" Paula Abdul "Straight Up" (Fincher!) C+C Music Factory "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" Bilal "Soul Sista" Q-Tip "Vivrant Thang" (parts of it) Brandy "I Wanna Be Down" (remix) Boyz II Men "Motownphilly" (parts of it) A buncha other Hype vids..

These lists can just go on forever if you ask.

Bjork "Hunter" Bobby Brown "Every Little Step" Tori Amos "Silent All These Years", "Winter" PJ Harvey "50 Ft. Queenie" The Fray "How to Save a Life" (version two) The Kills "No Wow" Prince "When Doves Cry" (the end there) some Elvis Costello vids.. probably some CeCe Peniston, Whitney Houston, or Lisa Stansfield video somewhere.. some weird new Say Anything video (Shane Drake) Beck "Black Tambourine" A Tribe Called Quest "Can I Kick It?" (parts of it) Los del Rio feat. the Bayside Boys "Macarena"

         

Didn't JET have a pretty interesting one? Instruments bleeding, girls coming out of the puddles, etc. maybe Robert Hales directed? I forget now.

         

beatle_matt mentioned that: Are You Gonna Be My Girl. I thought of some more while on a bike ride:

BigDumbFace "Duke Lion" (International) Noise Conspiracy "Smash It Up" INXS "What You Need" Information Society "What's On Your Mind (Pure Energy)" and The Hives "Hate to Say I Told You So" is close enough

         

white is tight artificialarmy.com

         

hakai, was that shot on a white cyc or shot against green screen and made white?

         

PM Dawn "You Got Me Floatin'" The Buggles "Video Killed the Radio Star" (parts of it) Diverse feat. Lyrics Born and Rjd2 "Explosive" George Michael "Faith", "I Want Your Sex" yay

Yay!

Also remembered Justin Timberlake "My Love" Cut Copy "Going Nowhere" Miss Kittin & The Hacker "1984" 1 Plus 1 "Cherry Bomb" Ladytron "Blue Jeans" Elastica "Connection" (parts of it) Parts of Busta Rhymes "Woo-Hah! Got You All In Check" I know there's an LL Cool J vid out there with some of it.. Some Japanese vids too out there, like Puffy AmiYumi "Tokyo I'm On My Way", Pizzicato Five "Twiggy Twiggy," "Baby Portable Rock" and "It's a Beautiful Day" and probably a bazillion others.

         

Kev your knowledge truly baffles me. A modern day Aristotle you are!

         

It's a brainy mix of experience, structure, chaos, associations, and YouTube. It's kind of like finding structure in a cloud, with a mix of love and mild obsession, but mostly love. I think that's my thought process in a nutshell.

My bowling average? 136.

Forgot to mention last time: Vitalic "My Friend Dario". I think I'll end it there.

(For those keeping track, you'll probably be hearing more in the future of the tag and Google cloud for good reason: There are Aspies in them hills!)

         

kev is the man.
