The randomness was okay, but Rob the boss shouldn't be another monkey. That implies that he is on the same level as code monkey and just isn't in sync with the song.

I know it would probably be infeasible for someone to bring about my vision of a real chimp in an office with humans and throwing fits and looking really cute. But even so, I think this video sends the wrong message of Code Monkeys being saved from their jobs by pretty girls. Code Monkeys need to save themselves from the drugery of their jobs in order to get the girls! I know it doesn't really say that in the song, but it certainly doesn't feature the girl saving the monkey either. I did not like the video.

Stick with what you know and what you're good at. Unless you want to learn new stuff. In which case that's good too. Unfortunately, I've never gotten around to playing with The Movies, so I don't have any tips in that regard. But, since it's technically a performance on a computer, I'll say break a disc. :) Kerrin, I have to agree with Frank. Stick with what you know and what you’re good at.

Thanks to Jonathan for making it available on cc. Kerrin, since you're familier with the Movies, I would recommend starting there. Key is to find a song that realy inspires you and that you feel you can find a concept and its footage in the Movies. As you probably know, you can't go into the movies with a very specific concept, half the shots you need will be missing. You gotta go in, look at the shots with the song in mind and see what ideas pop up. Also, a trick I've found is, look at shots that have nothing to do with what you want. You can find segments in there giving you a shot, reaction etc that you wouldn't find otherwise. Would luv to see anything you make. I also have an earlier video I made using the Movies called "Loving You and Drinking Beer." http://www.illclan.com/movies.htm frank illbixby dellario www.illclan.com Glad you guys like the video, and yes, it took many many hours but it’s a great song.

Machinima can be so cool when it's done right. And that one was. As for computer generated stuff for music videos, a lot of people use the Unreal engines to do Machinima videos. Of course, there's always Flash and Director. My friends and I are working on a video now and I'm using Lightwave 3D for the animation. There are plenty of low cost 3D programs out there, of course.

Having played movies, I can understand why some of the scenes seemed irrelevant to the song. That must have taken hours. I'm tempted to do one my self for another JoCo song, except I don't think it would come out as good. And I have another idea for a video (or two), though I didn't think of using 'The Movies'. Anyone got any other ideas for computer generated images that could be used to create music videos? Like the video…alot.
