I got the following information, then put it up on Wikipedia myself!
The previous year, David Bowie had released his "Ashes to Ashes" music video which was considered as the most innovative to date at that time. But ELO were largely regarded to have surpassed that with their music video for "Hold On Tight". At the time it was the most expensive ever made at around £40,000. - UK Midlands Central TV News, August, 1981, Thanks, Ade!

It was filmed in black-and-white and pays homage to old serial films with ELO playing in the scenes.
