Because our animation is all about our response to the music we've been provided with, I continued to look at different music videos and found some absolutely brilliant examples of the different routes you can take.
First up we have The Ok!Go who have produced a series of brilliant videos, many of them using stop motion techniques. This is just one example of their creativity, although different to many of their videos which generally focus on some kind of journey and the band members, this is equally as brilliant. It involves 215 loaves of bread and I imagine a lot of patience. For some reason the embedded video isnt available so to watch just follow the link instead.
Next we have a video called 'Squeeze me' by Kraak & Smaak which is easily one of my favourite music videos. Absolutely love the flip book effect especially the techniques of zooming in and out of an image inside the area of the flip book and how the director makes this respond to what's happening the background. Would love to develop something like this but I definitely feel I'd need more time to create something even slightly as interesting as this.
This is definitely my other favourite found gem called 'LIVE GOOD' by Naive New Beaters. It's lucky I've got the video for you to see because I have no idea how to describe this video. I'm not really sure what the effects are called but I would love to create something similar to this. The changes from person to person and scene to scene are so inventive and just brillaint. Enjoy!
Next we have a video called 'My Drive Thru' by N.E.R.D, Julian Cassablancas and Santogold. The track and video were created for a Converse campaign so obviously each character is always seen in a pair, and links are made by joining each person together shoe by shoe like paper chains but what I like about this video is the different ways each character moves including the paper chain, flip book effect and I really love the scene where Julian jumps through a number of layers of paper leaving behind a cut out silhouette on each page. After watching this video it makes me think about how I could use a flip and fold kind of effect to perhaps have one character but with a flip book of faces so i could easily change an expression. Really strong effect either way.
