A Music Video that I like

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cj8JrQ9w5jY
I was not able to embed this video as the record label YouTube would let me.
LCD Soundsystem- Daft Punk is playing in my house
The Music video uses Quick fast forwarding and rewarding as its main effect, and does this to great effect with the other reoccurring theme in the video being the traffic light system of colours. At the start of the video we see the the red green and amber lights and then it links to a section of the video at 0:23 where it zooms in on a mixer, still using the fast forwarding and rewarding effect, and the sound gage moves from green to amber to red and back a few times. Another superb feature of this video is the way, when the camera focuses on the singer even though he is moving constantly, it still looks like he is singing the words in time with the song. The lighting in the video, really helps compliment the Mise en Scene of the piece, for example the dark streets, allow the traffic light system to work and link in well with other sections of the music video, an example in 0:57 there are people dressed in morph suits in the colour scheme of Red, Amber and Green. The way the traffic light people work is also clever, and is similar to a section at the start of the video 0:23 as both the mixer and the people move in the same way with the same colours. There is also a repeating section of the video which goes in turn with the lyrics of the song; there are a variety of the of people in different fancy dress costumes, one being a skeleton suit and they are dancing in his house which would be normal if daft punk was playing in your house.
