Bright Eyes - First Day of My Life

I was listening to Blonde Redhead's The Dress and it struck me that the video for the song was pretty similar St. Vincent's video for Actor out of work. And also that Cursive' Big Bang and Bright Eyes' First day of my life also employ a similar 'stick a camera in their face' gimmick. I guess the latter two actually share more with Blonde Redhead's video and demonstrate that simple videos can be highly effective - although I think the Bright Eyes' one has a few too many cringe-worthy moments. The other videos are below.
