One of my favourite music videos at the moment is by American indie pop band Foster And The People's 'Houdini'. The band are recording a video for a new single when they are killed by a fallen stage light. In a bid to go through with the planned tour, music industry chiefs turn the band into literal puppets using robotics, green screen and jump suit actors. The result is a really disturbing but interesting performance by the morbid puppets.
