Radiohead - "15 Step"

Music Video.
Song: "15 Step."
Artist: Radiohead.
Album: "In Rainbows" (2007)
By: John Mandish in ADV Media Productions 5/6.
At: Tucson High Magnet School, AZ.
When: During my senior year. (2008)

Summary
A self moving ball of yarn rolls through a hallway.
Random people react to it either in horror or disbelief.
At the same time band members playing the music seem not to notice. The majority of the video is a horizontally split tracking shot. But the singer is frequently shown to allow the audience to stay captivated.

Analysis
Literally the ball of yarn is connected to the band members life. In essence it is their "life line." Figuratively the ball of yarn is still a life line but the band members represent youth, and with youth the foolish feeling of invincibility and immortality. This is shown by their willingness to disregard the ball of yarn while others react. At the end of the video the ball of yarn runs out, this represents death, and as it is rolls towards them they finally notice. But by now it is too late, and they metaphorically as well as literally die.

Opinion
It was never my original intention to make a profound statement about the ignorance of youth but after post production, I realized there might actually be a deeper meaning to my video. I hope you enjoy it regardless.

This is the best video of "15 Steps" ever. Anyone agree?

I love this song, I think it's great. No, not because I watched Twilight and loved it, but it did give this song great publicity. I'm glad Catherine put it in the movie. I think Radiohead is great, and this song has a pretty good beat to it :]
