What does it take to make a nice video?

Now a days, most of the music videos directors think that if they spend a lot of money or go to some foreign country showing some beautiful places or awesome lighting or colorful screen composition or grandeur sets or show some skimpily clad girls, they can hit the jackpot of making a nice video which will appeal to the people. Here are the videos of a Chicago based group called Ok Go that proves that nothing of that sorts is needed to make people enjoy the video. Both the songs are catchy.
Treadmill is one of the most favorite exercising machine in the World. It gives us the flexibility of burning lots of calories by just letting us walk in one place while we watch TV or while listening to music. Have we any time thought of using it as a dance prop? At least I have never thought so. But check out the video of Here It Goes Again, This is surely going to be one of my favorite videos.

If that was not enough, check out the below video called A Million Ways, to prove that even a dance prop is not needed to make a good video. All they needed to make this video was a camera. Trust me, they didnt even need a camera man to make both these video's.

Hope you enjoyed watching the videos, just as much as I enjoyed watching it. And yes, the songs are also very catchy, I am hooked to the songs.

Varta...

    @G3 - Since you were asking OliveOyl how to reduce weight... for commenting first you won yourself a treadmill :) But do not try the dance moves :) Pepper Chicken saapta pusani akka aiduveenga :)

    @Prithz - Oh yeah the second video is very cute... Simple and elegant. First video is completely new... never thought of such a thing with Treadmills :)
    Masala tea yenna virunthe veckurom... yenga katchi common katchi.. vathu sernthukonga... :)

    The first one was too good.. very imaginative use of the treadmills, moving in opposite directions. They have done quite a bit of good thinking n it came out pretty nice. Superb choreography and timing.. The second one was gud too..

  • At November 06, 2006 9:55 PM, Blogger KK said…

    @Kavi - Yup it was very simple. After reading your comment I too got reminded of K Bhagyaraj while seeing the second video :)

    @Ponnarasi - Hope you enjoyed the videos. :)

    @Raju - Yes, I agree with you, exactly my thoughts :)

    @Arunkumar - Bloglines didnt highlight my post??? G3 katchi oda sathiya irukum :)
    I actually saw the first video on TV, so I googled to find this video :)

    @Syam - Oh! appo ootuku poi paarunga... :)

    @S0ul - I posted on Sunday morning :) Now a days I dont trust blogroll...I just peep through everyones blog to check if it is updated. You can rather kill me than me getting to hear about the lack of time in your life :) lol!!!

    @Priya - Glad you liked it Priya. You should probably try posting a youtube video n your blog. Its simple, they provide a embed tag next to the video. Just copy that and post it in ur blog :)

    @Shankari - I too like the first one more than the second one. Unga blog paarthu daily samachu saapta naan ippadi than treadmill'a exercise pannanum ;) (Jus Kidding)
