About me: Panopticon Productions is a new project from Christopher Piazza, music obsessive and music video lover. The best thing about music videos is that they are one of the few filmmaking media where experimentation is not only rewarded but expected. Music videos on television, thanks in large part to MTV, are dead as an artform, but the Internet could be the next great outlet for musical and visual comingling. The goal of Panopticon is to rediscover the natural combination of music and the moving image.
