Music Videos

I mentioned this video in class today; it is called "Less is More" by C-Mon & Kypski. It's a really creative idea and a low-budget project. Like I said today, fans sent in clips of them doing various movements, and the band tied together all of the fan clips (with some footage of the band members) in order to produce the video. Here's the link:

Also, since we were on the topic of dance & camera techniques in music videos, it reminded me of one of my personal favorite videos of all time: "Reptilia" by The Strokes. It is definitely not a dance video, but I think it's really neat and interesting simply because of the way it was shot. Check it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8-tXG8KrWs

Do you think videos such as this ("Reptilia") have the same effect/are as intriguing as a lot of the "typical" dance videos that we see today (i.e. Lady Gaga, Britney Spears)?
