With this being my first blog for the IMA, I implore you to scroll away if you consider yourself one of those people who doesn’t particularly hold noobies in high regard. If you’ve stuck around, allow me to share a few thoughts on music videos as an art form.
I remember sitting in my living room when I was thirteen years old: voice cracking, flannel shirt around my waist with my combat boots on the coffee table and my mother urging me to wash my hair. I couldn’t, of course, because I was busy watching MTV, pre-Real World and before the internet we know of today. I would stare the wild camera effects of the music videos and think to myself, “Wow! I love this!” It seemed easy to do and I wanted to be a part of it.
