What is the video?

This animation of the 'emoji' character which appears throughout a large chunk of the video. 

What is the Effect?

The animation in this video consists of 3D animation.

What did I like about it?

I liked the connection you feel to the character, caused by how it 

is animated in almost a pet like way.

How does it match with the song tone?

I believe the songs match to the video is not great. It appears to me like the video

has purely been made around the word 'emoji' and not the actual tone or lyrics of the song.

How do I think the effect is done?

In order to achieve this effect I believe they used a mixture of softwares to model the

emoji character and also track it and animate it into is positions.

This music video contains the use of 3D animation to animate this robot character throughout the video. The robot is very essential to the story of the video.


As seen in the screenshot above, the animated robot is amongst the laying real life woman
The amazing realistic animation is used to create a rather intense mood. It shows
the possibilities of how powerful robots can be.

What is the video?

The video shows some sort of press conference where a robot character (animated) is revealed.

What is the effect?

The effect is 3D animation.

What do I like about it?

I like the realisticness of the animation, it makes you think twice if the robot is real or animated.

How does it match with the song?

I think the animated robot in this video matched up very well with

the tone of the song and it 'rough' changes.

How I think the effect is done.

I think the effect is done, by using a real life actor and then animating and tracking the robot

3D model onto it.

What is the video?

‌In this video the use of 3D animation is seen once again to animate this human figure dancing but with non human attributes, like metallic skin for example.

What is the effect?

The effect is 3D animation.

What do I like about it?

I like the randomness of the animation.

How does it match the song?

I think in a weird way the video does match the song very well even though
I feel like it shouldn't. I think it might be down to the dancing.

How I think the effect is done.

I think the effect is done, by using a real life actor and then animating and tracking the robot

3D model onto it.

The video mostly contains the two singers dancing around, but around it you see dancers with
inhumane effects on.

What is the effect?

3D Animation

What do I think about it?

I think it had been used in a simple but effective way.

Does is match the song?

Yes, I think the effects used match very well with the upbeat tune of the song.

I think it was done using a combination of VFX Softwares.

The animation seen is curvy, bright and colourful. It is leading to a more family friendly video and something fun to watch. It is smooth and not jagged.

What is the video?

The video is a animated story, that fits along to the lyrics.

What is the effect?

2D Animation

What do I like about it?

I like how well the animation fits with the lyrics. It is also really smooth, bright animation.

Very well

Im not entirely sure with this one, as there is many ways that this could have been achieved

but i'd imagine it was using some sort of software where it was all drawn frame by frame.

  Otis - JayZ and Kanye West R u crazy - Conor Maynard In the music video for 'R u crazy' by Conor Maynard it tells the story about an ex wanting to get back together even if you don't. The style of music video is performance as it contains lots of 'performance' from the artist. Throughout the video there is six different setups. All of the setups seem quite dark and dingy giving an almost uneasy feel to the audience which contrasts the music. In the video we the setup we see most is Conor in a long dimly lit corridor, dancing and singing. This is a very simple setup, however is very effective at creating the 'intense' atmosphere I believe they want you to feel when watching the video. This is why it ultimately keeps coming back to this corridor. I believe with this music video they are targeting an older audience - possibly older teens/young adults due to the intense atmosphere and the sexual theme seen in elements throughout and very strongly towards the e
