Take away shows.

The video below is part of Vincent Moon's Take-away shows series, filming bands in long takes in natural settings playing their music. Below is a video of Grizzly Bear, a band that I like a lot, singing The Knife accapella in the streets. There is another great one of Arcade Fire playing Neon Bible in an elevator. It's a creative, simple idea -- an interesting blend of documentary, performance and music video. Rather than elevating the musicians and bands into these icons that seem untouchable or creating a mystique around them, these videos make them seem like the real, albeit talented and magnetic, people that they are. It also illustrates that you don't need a lot of money or fancy equipment to create a striking, interesting piece. I like these better than 90% of music videos out there.
