Dystopic Future Music Videos

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Five Knives Inspires the Young Generation to Fight Against Conformity

— December 10, 2013 — Art & Design
Nashville-based electro band Five Knives have recently collaborated with LA based director Lance Drake in creating a music video for their song 'The Future.' The video features an incredibly badass young boy partaking in an extreme futuristic form of martial arts called tricking. The dystopic clip narrates the fight of a student clone against an army of military teachers or militant oppressors.

In combination with Drake's expert shots, this ninja-inspired music video seems more like a video game than an actual music video. With the upbeat electronic soundtrack thrown in, the result is an extremely high-energy video that has the main character jumping and kicking the army in their heads and faces.

Drake compliments the aggressive soundtrack to great effect with this Ninja-style dramatic clip that is part video game-part-action movie.
Trend Themes
1. Dystopic Future Music Videos - Opportunity for artists to create visually stunning music videos that blur the line between reality and video game.
2. Tricking - Potential for tricking to become a popular martial arts form and engage a younger generation in fitness and self-expression.
3. Ninja-style Dramatic Clips - Chance for filmmakers to create immersive and action-packed videos that captivate viewers and evoke a sense of being in a video game.
Industry Implications
1. Music Entertainment - Opportunity for music labels and artists to leverage dystopic future themes to create visually captivating music videos and engage audiences.
2. Martial Arts and Fitness - Potential for tricking to disrupt the traditional martial arts industry by attracting a younger generation of enthusiasts who seek unique forms of expression and fitness.
3. Film and Video Production - Opportunity for filmmakers to experiment with ninja-style dramatic clips and create visually stunning videos that push the boundaries of traditional music video production.
