Tame Impala- Mind Mischief

https://vimeo.com/59407115


After going to an all guy high school, I really related to the story being told in this video. This is just one of many music videos Tame Impala has released that has gotten a lot of attention through their creativity with story lines and use of graphic effects. This video specifically is interesting because half of it is filmed and the other half is all done with animation. At 3:21 the music video does a complete 180 which is always exciting for the viewer because it comes out of no where. Please check this video if you haven't seen the video/heard the song because I assure you'll enjoy it. Im guessing the second half was edited on photoshop seeing that most of the animation is drawn out.

Flatbush Zombies x Trash Talk -- "97.92" OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

This music video by Flatbush definitely sparked my interest when I saw it for the first time because I really had no clue how these camera angles/ effects were being done. Ive watched it a bunch and Im guessing that they used a  several fish eyed cameras or GoPros attached to a drone but I'm stumped when it comes to the post editing or that even took place. The angle in the video is hard to explain but its almost like they're giants onto of the globe and earth looks like a tiny ball. the best is when they're on a boat at 2:00 in.

A$AP Rocky - L$D (LOVE x $EX x DREAMS)

This video dropped about a year ago and Ive been peeping it constantly ever since. In a way A$AP created a different style with his use of graphics when it comes to his music videos. Most of them consist of bright lights and heady effects that will turn heads no problem. His videos tell a story that only the viewer can translate in their own way, which is another reason why his videos get so much attention. Out of all the graphics in L$D the one that catches my attention the most is at 3:27 when the camera pans down towards a mirror and the view turns into a reflection of Rocky rapping. Its kinda hard to explain but if you watch I guarantee you'll enjoy it as much as I did. Im stumped on how the editor did this and would really like to learn how.

A$AP Rocky - JD

I thought this video was really interesting in its switching between animation and live footage seamlessly throughout its entirety. The animation gives the video another dimension of interest straying away from the usual techniques we see in rap music videos. If they were drawing this out frame by frame you can only imagine how long that took them. Definitely worth a watch if you're interested at all in music videos and animation.
