Intro
One of my favorite art forms is the music video.
Sometimes I toy with the idea of becoming a music video director, but it doesn’t seem like I’m on course for that at the moment!
In the meantime, I thought I would compile a list of music videos that I think are beautiful. Instead of just listing them, I’ve also screenshotted some of the most visually stunning frames so that they’re always at the ready for future inspiration. The first 22 videos (in no particular order) are the ones I like most. I captured many frames for each of those videos. The remaining 28 are also fantastic, but some for different reasons than visual beauty. For each of these videos, I captured 1-4 frames. Those are at the bottom of the page.
