This is the music video for the song "DOA" by Foo Fighters, from their album In Your Honor. Though the story of this video doesn't really make any sense, there are a lot of visually interesting things happen. It gives an atmosphere of peculiarity, achieving it by different camera and special effects. Throughout the video, the entire world is literally turning upside down. To further the strangeness, there are various shots of animals weird things, such as a mouse that is running on a wheel that seems to be powering some kind of device, a talking dog, and a bird that is doing flips inside its cage. As with many music videos, there are shots that make up a story, and then there are shots of the band playing. In the story portion, the band members are also the characters. It shows them on a train with the world outside rotating slowly. They are black and white, but outside there is color. The most notable visualization tool being used is the rotating camera.
Cool. It's also worth noting that the video opens and closes with sound effects that are not part of the song. Playing with perspective is the main theme of the video, only a small percentage of shots have a level horizon line.
