A music video that I enjoyed

A music video I have watched recently that I liked was the newest song from Black Eyed Peas “Boom Boom.” I liked it mainly because of the graphics not because of the music itself, to be plainly honest I didn’t like the song.

It was able to show off the latest style of animation, through using many special effects. They first recorded what the actors (or singers) were going to be doing; they then made rough sketches, followed by doing the main editing on the computer. I almost feel sorry for the ones that had to go through the old style of making videos. Because all they did was record with only a little if no help from a computer (computers didn’t even come out till a few years after the first music videos).

Their outfits were great, they had flashy clothes and really over did it when they got Fergy (lead girl singer) into an outfit which made her fingers look long and pointed. The editors after went and made long, thin lines appear from the tips making it look like she had streamers coming from them. On top of that they made sure to have the song and video working together. For example when the main bass part happened they added an effect which made the screen look like when you drop a rock into water and it ripples.

Music really has come a long, long way from when it first began. Other than the few down sides of it being more for show and selling the CDs than it is about the music itself. I think the Black Eyed Peas really did do a good job. Thumbs up to the editors and team who worked on it and here is hoping more and more people join into this newer type of music.
