The video below is a making of the very same music video. Here you will see snippets of the production process. Everything from the storyboard, dressing the set, blocking the actors, and eventually modeling the band mates. It's interesting to see how paper comes to life not just through a green suit but the detail they put into designing even the skin of all the characters.

Do Ya Thang - Gorillaz
The Gorillaz is arguably one of the best bands to have ever graced my ears since birth. But aside form their music, they are a prime example of transmedia. What started out as a British rock band has transcended into comics, online games, and interactive holographic concerts! But what I want to talk about today is their Style-o (Stylo is one of their popular songs... This is a joke). Many times you'll find a blend of 2D and 3D animation, and practical effects in their music videos which always helps to blend the creepy, disgusting, and fantastical world of Gorillaz. "Do Ya Thang" was a collaboration between them and Andre 3000, to help promote Converse.

Here's Some Advice: DoYaThing
In the past 14 years, the band Gorillaz has went from being a side project of visual artist Jamie Hewlett and Blur's Damon Albarn to the greatest virtual band on the planet, expanding their universe not just musically but also visually. Earlier in the year, Gorillaz teamed up with Andre 3000 and LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy to collaborate on a song called "DoYaThing" for Converse's "Three Artists, One Song" program, which brings together musicians from different disciplines to make one
track together (a previous collaboration consisted of Soulja Boy, Andrew
WK, and Matt and Kim). Along with the song, Converse released a line of Chuck Taylor's All-Stars featuring Hewlett's designs.
In addition to the great song and shoes, Converse also put out a music video, directed by Hewlett, depicting the animated characters of the Gorillaz universe in a modern day setting in a flat in England. The video takes the 3D animated bandmates and mixes it with real world footage and 2D imaging, not to be confused with images of Gorillaz' lead singer 2-D. Here's some footage of the making of the video.
The final depiction of the video shows off how much work was put into making this video and the characters in it as real as possible. Enjoy!
