The video game culture was an important thing to keep alive in the film because we're in a new era right now. The idea that kids can play video games like Grand Theft Auto or any video game is amazing. The video games are one step before a whole othe...
I'm all about telling stories. I like people to picture the music video in their head when they're just listening to the song.
MTV essentially killed 'American Bandstand' and 'Solid Gold,' because music videos are an easier way for pop artists to gain television exposure.
When it comes to the video channels and the programs, the radio stations, the music is geared towards kids, and it's made by kids.
I always have one foot in the street, so I know not everyone wants to dress like the women they see in music videos.
I used to hate, with a capitol H, making videos. It was nothing but a chore. It was something you had to do to have your music accepted in the visual medium.
I want to change things with everything I do, not for the sake of changing things, but for the sake of taking greater and greater risks, or how minimalist I might be able to be, or how I can involve elements or ingredients in music videos that are no...
Young singers are much better educated musically, much better informed, through discs and videos, than I was.
I've just been learning how to direct my own videos, choreography, doing costumes... every creative opportunity there is with my music I've taken.
I started writing music when I was around twelve. My current record company saw a video of me performing at my school's talent show.
Videos have to go hand in hand with your music, so that's why, ultimately, they should be created by the artist. And if they're not, it doesn't really add up to me.
There are big lines between those who play video games and those who do not. For those who don't, video games are irrelevant. They think all video games must be too difficult.
4Shbab has been dubbed Islamic MTV. Its creator, who is an Egyptian TV producer called Ahmed Abu Haiba, wants young people to be inspired by Islam to lead better lives. He reckons the best way to get that message across is to use the enormously popul...
Once you've played a real video game about war, you don't understand how people can play video games about video games about war.
I grew up in a community of theatre, and I always loved musicals. From a young age, the first present I ever wanted was a video camera. For me it was a great outlet to be creative.
It really is no different in the way that we make records and shoot music videos. I don't think of the movie as being a great leap out of my current profession.
To me, getting to do music and videos, you work on a character. Being onstage is acting; you get to be larger than life and larger than yourself.
I don't want to be an artist, go on tour and make a video and wear sexy clothes. I would just love to make music.
I enjoy the videos with the sound off, where you can look at the belly buttons and everything. Really some pretty girls, but I don't know about the music.
My record company had to beg me to stop filmin' music videos in the projects. No matter what the song was about, I had 'em out there.
I never thought about acting before I started modeling, but since then I've been in short films and music videos, and I got interested. It felt natural to switch over.
