Re: Re: Re: The Beatles as Innovators
My own research indicates that Dylan's 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' was the first end-to-end non-performance video (1965). The Beatles, though, through 'Rain', 'Strawberry Fields Forever' and other tracks like that made the music videos cinematic. They were no longer camera, action, using TV cameras (Dylan borrowed cameras and crew from a NYC TV station) - they were events with full-on filmic stylings. Yes, SHB had the lyric sheets and Ginsberg chatting in the background, but SFE had backwards film techniques, cut shots, cuts on beats, stuff that would come to the fore in the 1980s.
