The History of the Music Video
The first ever music video to be aired on MTV was ironically called Video Killed the Radio Star by the Buggels. It was shown for the first time on the 1st of August 1981 at 12:01 am. The Buggels had created a new trend in the music industry, music videos were at first used to promote artists songs and as music videos were being shown regularly on television it became a battle to create the best music video.
Music videos have grown in the same ways films have; as technology evolved new innovative techniques and effects became popular and each new development inspired a creative mind to push the current technology further. A good example is Money For Nothing by the Dire Straits; this revolutionary music video was the first to use computer generated animation. In modern times the video looks like a humorous Lego like animation, however in 1985 it was ground breaking technology.
