"Breakaway" (1966) by Bruce Conner, for Antonia Christina Basilotta

You can't watch this film online. But you can watch this documentary, featuring Dennis Hopper and Toni Basil (AKA Antonia Christina Basilotta), which includes clips from the original. 

Music video, as a form, was born out of experimental film and video. This example from 1966 demonstrates this clearly. Conner also worked with Devo on a film for "Mongoloid", which I will post separately.
