Adria Petty

So, Adria Petty is now my favourite music clip director.

I recently watched the video clip for Beyonce's "Count Down" in a setting where I couldn't actually hear the song - just watch the clip and pick up a bit of the beat.

It was so dang impressive I couldn't take my eyes of it.

I got around to catching it on YouTube today so I could hear what song went with the clip (and see the clip again), and discovered the music actually detracts from the clip.

How often do you find a music video that is better with the sound off?  

Most of the time I see these these things and think "what was the point of that?" rather than "awesome!"  Petty's clip was definitely in the "awesome!" category.
