This video was probably one of the most complicated but unappreciated videos of the 80's.
Peter Gabriel spent hours of taking photos and montaging them together, there wasn't one shot of the video that was actual video footage, it was all just photos merged together to create a moving picture. Many people still don't know about this work of art , yet it is still (of 2011) MTV's number 1 played video EVER. It was produced by Adam Whittaker who funnily enough created Wallace and Gromit, yet again a huge success for photo montaging moving images.
Gabriel lay under a sheet of glass for 16 hours while filming the video one frame at a time.
This shows true dedication for a song to become globally well known and did he succeed? Of course he did. This amazingly inspirational music video would be really good to try and adapt or even attempt. However, the task we are being set is far too time limited to take on such a massive task, it is also very risky which isn't good if it goes wrong leaving no time for changes etc.
Here is the great video that is 'Sledgehammer' by the wonderful 'Peter Gabriel'.
