Summer Work Week 3

Korn - Freak on a Leash

 

The music video for this song was directed by Todd McFarlane assisted by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris. McFarlane is a Canadian cartoonist, artist, writer, toy designer and entrepreneur. He is best known for his comic books. This is shown in the music video for Freak on a Leash where the music video cuts between a cartoon and real life filming. The style is very different because the video represents a bullet fired in a cartoon poster that exits the poster and makes its way through real life situations until it ends up back in the poster. It is a very unique style that is not commonly seen in modern music videos.
