As far as influences on music videos, I've often heard that all of Micheal Jackson's videos especially performance footage is remarkably like Leni Riefenstahl's "Triumph of the Will" Still, since anyone can see almost any film ever made now with VCR's etc. influence of one visual style over another would seem a lot harder to pinpoint. I mean fifteen years ago, unless you had a private viewing room, you could only read about films not playing in your town. Now, I can see just about anything in my living room within a week of wanting to see it. And then discuss it with a professor in Norway on my computer. Okay, so there is alot of quick cutting, but even that seems to have exceptions.... looking forward to hearing your thoughts. ---- To signoff SCREEN-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF SCREEN-L in the message.
