For my video analysis I chose one of the hottest electro hits currently around on the radio at the moment, Wolfgang Gartner's Illmerica.
Very concept based this one, why not have a watch? :)

Music Video of The Week (w/b 11/07/11) : Noisia & Mayhem ft. KRS One - Exodus
This week's video of the week is simply monumental. The track is pretty average but video producer Alexander Lehmann really has taken the limits of visual effects and CGI in music videos to another level.
The insaine level of detail on the graphics is something which I have not seen before. It's second to none.
Lehmann took around 3 years to produce this video. Even if I'm not able to replicate the level of detail we have here, on my own video, it's certainly got me thinking about what sorts of visual effects I could use, and where, in my music video.

Video Focus: The Chemical Brothers - Hey Boy Hey Girl
Nothing like an intriguing music video to liven up a Thursday night! Here's a 90's dance anthem from The Chemical Brothers with a suitably psychedelic video. First off, I'd suggest watching the video in it's entirety.

Why do a bog-standard blogpost, when you can embed a Powerpoint!

Music Video of The Week (w/b 04/07/11) : OK Go! - This Too Shall Pass (Rube Goldberg Machine version)
I thought that every week, I would choose a interesting music video to showcase here, and get some ideas from.
Most of us will be aware of the OK Go! Treadmill video after being shown it in class, but after being told about this video recently, it blew my mind!
Very, very concept based and something I couldn't recreate in it's entirety - I don't have piles of cash! I suppose I can use the aspect of being "creatively random" and think outside the box for my video...
