Incubus "Megalomaniac" Music Video
animation / compositing
It was released as a single in December of 2003, and eventually reached the top of Billboard ' Modern Rock Tracks, where it stayed for a six-week period.
The video shows images of Adolf Hitler interspersed with shots of the band and of many people who are either protesting or helpless and victimized. As the video progresses, officers are sent to disperse the crowd. The speaker's podium rises very high - then it is revealed that the podium is actually a gas pump. The gas pump spurts oil over the crowd, while the main figure's head is consumed by a bald eagle and starts eating people that turned into fish. The broad theme of the video seems to be corruption in general. MTV refused to show the video during daytime airplay due to the controversy.
