Music, so much music

The music video section was so neat, even if I found some of them a little odd (but that more or less deals with music preference). It was a little difficult trying to pick three (something could be said for each of them).

     1)   Valentino

I thought that this video was amazing. The set up was very clever, with the switching of costumes like the projection was another room. Before seeing the making of the video I was already impressed (there was obviously two separate films –projection and legs – because the legs were in sync with the body but not perfectly). However, afterwards my mind was blown. I know how hard it is to get stuff to sync and their dedication shows through the number of takes they went through.

    2)   Johnny Cash Project

I really liked this video just for the numerous displays of artistic styles. When I first heard the idea behind the video I was skeptical. I thought that the differences would be distracting and look odd and amateurish together. Oh ye of little faith. The pieces went together well and the constant change didn’t distract but added to the piece.

3)   Higher Ground – Playing for Change

I was amazed again by the blending of different artists, though through music this time. Though all of the instruments and voices varied from place to place, all was blended together in harmony. And it sounded like an actual song that was planned that way.
