Prince - U Got The Look (Official Music Video) YouTube video by Prince

Prince died 10 years ago today.

This might be my favourite of his music videos (and songs):
That thing where they used the vastly superior extended 12", and not the less interesting album version.

“He don’t say nothing, he just gives me that look… Yunno he’s got that look...”

[from Fletch]

I love the mix of Star Trek, a romantic 1960s chorus and a late '70s disco beat.

Filmed entirely in-camera.

I love this shot from Rambo II, in which a helicopter flies across the screen. It's a static, locked-off shot, but somehow they got the real helicopter to bank, wipe and clear the frame at the perfect diagonal angle. All filmed in-camera.

Helicopter Unit Directed & Photographed by Peter MacDonald.

5 cable-controlled masks gave Kong a wide range of expression: 1 was for "normal" looks, 2 was fixed in a partial roar, and 3 opened in a full roar. 4 was sans cables for long shots where the cables had to be hidden.
