My Multimedia

We were set a task to talk about a piece of multimedia that we like/are interested in and talk about why we do. Personally music is my first love, in particular dance music genres such as house, progressive house, electro house, acid house, funky house, crack house, electro, techno, trance, garage, dubstep and liquid. Music like this is more of a piece of art hence why it is so appealing. Its not just some poorly written song for an artist who can sing a few good notes and look good, just to sell records, holding a celebrity, cosmopolitan image because of it. Or someone screaming down a microphone on a three chord guitar riff. My music is art, a composition, alike to the forms of art that i pursue.
Coming from a graphics/illustration background my love of art will always be these forms. In conclusion the two things i love most are music and art so the combination is something of my most interest.
Above is the video 'One More Time' by Daft Punk. It resembles the acid house/electronic music of the start of the 21st century. The reason i chose this for 'my multimedia' is that it combines such a euphoric melody and lyric with an animation that resembles the song. The animation itself isn't the best but that shows how technology has changed. The story in the animation is told my the song and its lyrics. The magna world we are seeing is raving out to a daft punk concert. The lyrics 'musics got me feeling so free, gunna celebrate' describes the emotions running through the characters 'one more time' emphasises their need to do it again and again as they are in a state of euphoria and wanting it to be continuous.
It is a perfect example of my multimedia as it combines my music with illustration/multimedia. The main reason is that the music is the base of the animation, without it, we'd just simply see some characters dancing to a band. With the music we know the feelings and emotions behind the characters and therefore know the story behind the animation. This is something i would like to bring to my work. As i love music so much, bringing it into my multimedia as a way of telling a story and discovering meaning, would be a perfect way of working.

A treat for you! Heres the real life version ;) (the real world being exactly the same as the euphoric world in the video!) Enjoy!....
