On a Soundstage All Along	comment	If the song you're making a video for ends with a dramatic fade of the instruments and you want a suitably dramatic ending, then you could try the good old tactic of having your lead singer bow their head while the lights dim and the camera pulls back to reveal - ah ha! - that the band was On A Soundstage All Along. Thus you reveal the artificiality of the music video and undermine the video's story with an unsettling note of self-awareness. Or something. Anyway, it looks totally awesome. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })There seemed to be a glut of these around 2001-2005. Subtrope of Reveal Shot and Nested Story Reveal. Compare Proscenium Reveal. Examples

On a Soundstage All Along / int_7a0b8fa6	comment	This happens in Michael Jackson's "Black or White" after the morphing-faces sequence, but then we have the panther than wanders onto a city street set and turns into Michael...after all that, it turns out the whole thing is being watched by Bart Simpson. Inverted in Jackson's "Liberian Girl", where dozens of celebrities are shown arriving at an elaborate film set and roaming around, asking where Michael is and when they'll get started filming his video. At the end, it's revealed that he's been there behind the camera all along, and their backstage wanderings are the video.

On a Soundstage All Along / int_b31a3de3	comment	Played in "Through Glass" by Stone Sour. Everything in the video (except the band members, but including a pool and a mansion) turns out to be a cardboard cutout, ending with the band on a soundstage.

On a Soundstage All Along / int_d6344601	comment	The Presidents of the United States of America' "Dune Buggy" video seems to show the band playing the song acoustically around a nighttime beach campfire for a small group of friends, until an electrical spark in the final second provides a brief illumination.

On a Soundstage All Along / int_fe724d7f	comment	The video to Rammstein's "Amerika". They're rocking out on the moon, and then the cameras pull back to reveal it's a film set. This is also a gag at the expense of those who think the moon landings were faked on a soundstage.
