TOP 10 MICHAEL BAY MUSIC VIDEOS

2020-12-22

It was 1994.

Meat Loaf was on TV.

It was Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through.

It blew my mind.

It was a freakin movie.

That’s how I discovered Michael Bay’s cinematic work.

And I didn’t even know it was Michael Bay.

Then came The Rock (1996) and Armageddon (1998).

The beginning of Armageddon was so tense that it gave me a sort of panic attack and I had to leave the cinema for 5 min to get some air.

It was amazing.

It doesn’t matter what you think about the Transformers franchise and his other films.

You have to agree that the dude has a style.

All those camera moves, colours, music and editing.

It’s fire.

Below are – what I think – his top 10 music videos (out of his 35).

I focus on the narrative in my work. Therefore, I sorted the videos accordingly.

It’s all about the story…with awesome visuals.
