The song Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel is 2nd on the Channel 4's top 100 music videos list. The video uses stop-motion techniques, which is when a series of pictures are put together to give the impression of a moving image, such as that seen in 'Wallace and Gromit'. Peter Gabriel had to lay under a sheet of glass for 16 hours while shooting the video one frame at a time. There is a shot in the video where Gabriel is wearing a Christmas tree suit and jerking his body about; Gabriel was actually being electrically shocked during this shot. In total the video took one week to shoot.
