The 'Gorillaz' are a virtual band, whose members are 100% animated. And not at all part of our 'reality'. Designed by my lord and saviour Jamie Hewlett. The band came into existence when Blurs Damon Albarn and Jamie moved into a flat together and not soon after the band was conceived...Animated music videos feature the 2D characters, mixing both live action with their animated forms. However at 'live' concerts the character appear on screens, giving the false reality of their existence. Temperedly of course, till someone pulls the plug.
'DO YA THING' MUSIC VIDEO
This video is a mixture of live action and animated characters; Filmed first with figures dressed up in 'green screen suits' and then animated across the top of. The video was inspired first by the music, not the music was inspired by the story like most gorillaz music videos. Telling the story of the character of '2D' waking up in the morning and experiencing what looks like an average morning in the house he shares with other members and characters.
I really like this music video, being a fan of Gorillaz already and all. However, seeing the characters act out a 'normal' story rather then something so outrageous only animation could bring it to life... was so wonderful to see. I hope they do more 'everyday' videos in the future, really mixing the characters in situations that the average fan existences is so refreshing.
