About Music Video Footage
Behind-the-scenes footage from music video shoots reveals the craft, chaos, and creative decisions that go into the visuals that define how we remember songs. These clips show directors, choreographers, and artists collaborating to create images as iconic as the music itself.
The 1980s in Music
The 1980s brought MTV, the synthesiser revolution, and the globalisation of pop music. Michael Jackson, Prince, Madonna, U2, and Run-DMC dominated the mainstream, while underground scenes — post-punk, hardcore, hip-hop, and indie — were building the foundation for the next decade. The explosion of home video meant more behind-the-scenes footage was captured than ever before. Tour documentaries, making-of specials, and backstage footage from the 80s reveal an industry in rapid transformation.
