My formal studies into the amazing artform of the music video began in 1981, when MTV first appeared. I was 15. Soon, I&#8217;d watched so many that I was dreaming them&#8230; and since then, hearing great music has always triggered MTV-inspired cinematic visions. Today, my studies continue, and I consider myself very lucky to have crossed paths with many masters in this field, each of whom is a hero to a director who has made something I&#8217;ve seen on television and <em>loved</em>, for one reason or another. Damion Clayton, editor at Rock Paper Scissors, is one of those heroes. <span id="more-457"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.darnellworks.com/rps/bio-dc.htm" target="blank"><img SRC="http://www.darnellworks.com/rps/media/damion-s.jpg" HSPACE=8 VSPACE=4 border=3 NOSAVE height=240 width=200 align=LEFT></a>In my role as press agent for RPS, I&#8217;ve had the opportunity to research Damion&#8217;s past work in the music video field. You can read <a href="http://www.darnellworks.com/rps/bio-dc.htm" target="blank">his full bio here</a>, and follow the links to see his latest artistry on his archive site at <a href="http://www.rockpaperscissors.com/index.php?menit_id=360" target="blank">RockPaperScissors.com</a>. </p>
<blockquote><p>Damion kindly shared these thoughts for this story:  <strong>&#8220;Music videos truly are an amazing artistic form which since their advent have continued to evolve.  I remember as a kid watching London&#8217;s Calling and thinking, &#8216;Wow, that is f#$# Mick Jones and Joe Strummer playing on a barge. Why are they are on a barge?&#8217;  Personally, I was 10 when MTV began hitting me over the head with images, and I have loved the art of the music video story.  Now that I am an editor, music videos are still as fascinating, while offering a unique opportunity for director/editor collaboration.   Today, the process is often void of payment, and therefore, even more a labor of love &#8212; and hopefully, experimentation.&#8221;</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>The YouTube playlist above features many of the music videos that Damion edited over the years between 2001 and 2009, and below I&#8217;m also embedding another of his favorites, from directors Traktor for Partizan, for &#8220;The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song&#8221; from The Flaming Lips. With many thanks to <a href="http://www.mvdbase.com">the Music Video Database</a>, below that last video you&#8217;ll find the list of the best music television I was able to find cut by Damion, in reverse chronological order.  Although I love many of them, I have to say, my favorite is his latest: &#8220;Axe Anthem Uncut.&#8221;<br />
