A music video, or a series of music videos, that can almost pass for a short film. Fine examples would be the Beatles for “Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” , Kanye West for “Runaway”, Florence + The Machine for “The Odyssey”, and of course Michael Jackson for the Sci-Fi film “Moonwalker”.
Check out the song "Smooth Criminal" in the video above. MJ was a big fan of Charlie Chaplin and miming, and its influence is clearly seen by the way he dances and choreographs in this video.
