Music video
Elect the Dead was accompanied by a complete set of videos for each track, September 11, 2007. Tankian was not pleased by the original video and so he and director Tony Petrossian made an official video for "Sky Is Over", released on January 16, 2008.
The music video begins with Tankian playing a white piano in the middle of the street. After establishing the main piano melody, he gets up, walks down the street, and picks up a chalkboard eraser. With the eraser he begins literally "erasing" the sky out with erratic swipes over the wordless chorus, then throws the eraser far away and walks to a black piano to play the last note. The camera pans up to reveal that amid the random eraser swipes he has written . The entire video was shot in one take. At the end of the video a web address is shown for the now defunct "Sky Is Over" website, which gave links to various environmental organizations.
