Music Video Effects and Ideas

Here are three music videos that use the effect of stop motion. I think it’s such an effective technique and really grabs the audience’s attention. I think it would be a good effect to be used possibly in small areas of our music video, such as the flashback to when the two males were best mates as schoolboys (aged around 13.) The effect would be used to emphasise the fact that we are looking back in the past, kind of similar to looking at video filming them. However I don’t know how this would look against the rest of the editing and whether it would work. Also I don’t know how difficult it is to pull off.

Plan b – No Good:


Oren Lavie - Her Morning Elegance:


Metric – Sick Muse:

This one took 60000 photos and 3 cameras which they did in one day.

Obviously ours wouldn’t be as complicated as these and it would be on a much smaller scale, especially as if we did use it, it would be for such a small part of the video.
