These screen shots are all used as proof of key production styles about some of his music videos. From what i have found collectively from all of Garth Jenning's work is that he likes to experiment with sci-fi characters. Making things that don't exist, or things that do but taking away they're main purposes. He does this is "Becks" and "Fat Boy Slims" music videos. Garth made robots dance for the enjoyment of humans showing the exploitation of technology. But also it supplies a light hearted edge to the imagery that in fact robots can be beautiful and graceful and scarily more like humans, than a lot of us. Certain types of technology used in his videos is chroma key, blue or green screens as seen in his music video fro "Supergrass" and "Vampire Weekend". He also likes working within massive spaces for e.g. warehouses and huge industrial studios, so imaginations can really be let loose. As seen in his music video for "Supergrass", "Fat Boy Slim", "Radiohead", "Beck" and "Vampire Weekend". His editing styles have featured mainly fast montages and jump cuts. But however he likes to use overlapping in places and fading in and out.
