2. Oscar fischinger
• Oskar Wilhelm Fischinger was a German-
American abstract animator, filmmaker, and
painter, notable for inventing abstract musical
animations many decades before the
appearance of computer graphics and music
videos. He created special effects and also
made over 50 short animated films, and
painted around 800 canvases many of which
are in museums, galleries and collections
worldwide.
3. Soundies
• Soundies were three-minute musical films,
produced in New York City, Chicago, and
Hollywood, between 1940 and 1946, often
including short dance sequences, similar to later
music videos. The completed Soundies were
generally released within a few months of their
filming. The films were displayed on the Panoram,
a coin-operated film jukebox or machine music, in
nightclubs, bars, restaurants, factory lounges, and
amusement centers.
4. Scopitones
• Scopitone is a type of jukebox featuring a 16
mm film component. Scopitone films were a
forerunner of music videos. Based
on Soundies technology developed during
WWII, color 16 mm film clips with a
magnetic soundtrack were designed to be
shown in a specially designed jukebox.
5. A hard days night
This film was made to promote a album and was
like a music video, it was new because it hadn't
been done before.
6. Queen bohemian rhapsody
• Though some artists had made video clips to
accompany songs (including Queen
themselves), it was only after the success of
"Bohemian Rhapsody" that it became regular
practice for record companies to produce
promotional videos for artists' single releases.
These videos could then be shown on
television shows, such as the BBC's Top of the
Pops, without the need for the artist to appear
in person.
7. Mtv
• First video was called ‘video killed the radio
star’ which was a very clever choice because
they were in a way saying that they were
going to kill radio.
8. YouTube
• Brought videos onto internet, made them
global and increased revenue and more
people had access to them. Brought around
late 2006 and has been owned by Google
since the start.
