Idea and ramblings involving this type of Animation in a music video




These graphics seem somewhat easy to make and somebody could be hired to make them. I think what would be really cool is to let something like this go for about 20 to 30 seconds and then all of a sudden BAM it’s in real life with a Steadicam shot of somebody mobbin through an area doing some crazy stuff that is similar to what you see in the animation but the look of it throws the viewer off really hard. The whole thing could be put together seamlessly through match moving and it could go back into the animation world for a bit.

An idea, if I had directed this video and song, at a certain point I would have done what I just said, I would have had the male artist walking through a record store with his girl with the Steadicam wide angle lens they are having fun as it moves around them and he grabs her scarf and holds it in front of her eyes as he guides her through the store from behind her and they go out the door and then it shows them climbing the fire escape from a jib shot and then it shows them in her apartment laying on the floor next to each other on a colorful rug with their legs crossed and some pillows over their face while it looks like they are having fun and they take the pillows off their face and turn to each other smiling and kiss each other’s lips as the camera pulls out and fades into an animation, it could be an animation of one of the little characters flying by in a little spaceship car looking all cool then it shows a car of hot creature girls cruising, a convertible and then it goes off into other animation stuff... before coming back to something in the video. maybe one of the roommates busts in the front door of the new yorky looking apartment with a pizza but it is a cartoon pizza and then it says "Pizza Party!!!" in cartoony letters and then they are all eating Pizza and drinking beer and then when the song is over.. it shows them wake up in the morning with a different vibe, they are all somber. then it shows the guy having a SUPER mundane day at work (real fast 2 second shot) color graded to be all gray and blue and lame, then it shows the girl wearing one of those blue tooth’s walking aimlessly in NYC talking holding a manila envelope, (again, 2 second shot) then it shows them having dinner at a restaurant, then BOOM, wedding ring she jumps up they hug the song comes BACk on as it fades out with a wedding at a trailer park with their friends from NYC present and now dressed like hicks.
