Remember when music videos were about telling 3 minute stories? Don’t strain your brains too hard. This happened back when MTV still showed videos. No one’s quite sure what point in time that actually occurred. Hell, even The Doctor would have trouble pinpointing that moment with his miraculous TARDIS.
Back to the point: music videos with a story to tell. Here’s a video for the song “Open Your Eyes†by Alex Metric. This thing is packed full of callbacks and awesome and genius. In it, Rocky is challenged by OCP’s very own ED-209. We can’t wait for “Open Your Eyes II” when a jetpack enabled RoboCop steps up for a bit of action.
The video was directed by Peter Serfinowicz. That’s the guy doing a damn convincing Rocky Balboa in this video. Serafinowicz was the fellow responsible for the damn hilarious LOOK AROUND YOU [Adult Swim] once had in heavy rotation.
BTW, @Serfinowicz is totally followable on the Twitter. You would do well to bless yourself with his funny thoughts and links.
