Turns out we're all secretly trendsetters

So I know RayC and I do it, but I think a couple other videos have been posted that use the technique of padding out performance footage with free footage we pulled from archive.org

Anyway, it's starting to make it's way into the vocabulary of professional music videos too:

The making of video talks about how he borrowed the technique from another video he found on Youtube
I can only assume that he's talking about this one:

Musically they're The Arctic Monkeys playing Kasabian doing Pulp.
Interesting vid...distracting though.
I like your.

Thank you!

Yeah, I feel like this video demonstrates that that they had the budget for good cameras, actors, etc. that none of us do, but the director didn't really have a sense of how to incorporate the stock footage into the video in a way that complements it well.
You probably took, what? A year before your videos started to gel
I picked that particular video because I think it's one of maybe two where I've actually used the technique effectively
