Music Video
The first music video was released September 11, 2007, along with all the other album's videos (there was a video made for each song on the album). Then, Tankian was not pleased by the original video so he and director Tony Petrossian made an official video for "Sky Is Over", released on January 16, 2008.
The music video starts with Tankian playing a white piano in the middle of the street. Then he gets up from it and walks around and eventually picks up an eraser. Then he literally starts "erasing" the sky out. He throws the eraser far away after and walks to another black piano to play the last note. Then it is revealed that he wrote "Civilization Is Over". The entire video was shot in one take. At the end of the video it has the web address for the "Sky Is Over" website. On YouTube, it has parts one and two of "The Making of Sky Is Over".

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or video:
“O I shall hear skull skull,
Hear your lame music,
Believe music rejects undertaking,
Limps back.”
—Owen Dodson (b. 1914)
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
