We watched a section of a video this morning called 'Koyaanisqatsi' it was described as a 'feast of sound and imagery' and has apparently been the influence of countless directors in everything from music videos to tv programmes. It was recorded in the 70's and features many camera shots of different environments ranging from deserts and wastelands to busy cities. The soundtrack over the top is one peice of music which changes with the mood of the video, it tends to be more intense when images of explosions and damaged environments are shown and more relaxed when there is a more calming city or countryside image.
I can see how it may have been very influential to many directors, as it uses shots such as streams of lights from cars which i have seen in many other films after Koyaaniqatsi was made.
