The music video for The Chemical Brothers’ “Believe”, released in March 2005, featured a young man working in a car assembly plant who finds himself stalked by a creature made up of robot parts from the factory. The clip begins with footage from a dance video, reminiscent of the Eric Prydz music video, “Call On Me”, watched on a television by the factory worker. He begins to see a hybrid robot chasing him, through the window in his home, on public transport and in the factory. The apparition grows in its strength until the worker discovers the power of his own belief.
