Computer generated imagery in music videos


Computer-generated imagery (CGI) is the application of the field of computer graphics or, more specifically, 3D computer graphics tospecial effects in art, video games, films, television programmes, commercial simulators and simulation generally, and printed media. The visual scenes may be either dynamic or static.
The term computer animation refers to dynamic CGI rendered as a movie. The term virtual world refers to agent-based, interactive environments.
3D computer graphics software is used to make computer-generated imagery for movies, etc. Recent availability of CGI software and increased computer speeds have allowed individual artists and small companies to produce professional-grade films, games, and fine art from their home computers. This has brought about an Internet subculture with its own set of global celebrities, clichés, and technical vocabulary.
The Band Gorrilaz created in 1998 by Daman Albarn and Jamie Hewlett. This project consists of Gorillaz music itself and an extensive fictional universe depicting a "virtual band" of cartoon characters. This band has four animated members: 2D (lead vocalist, keyboard, and melodica), Murdoc Niccals (bass guitar and drum machine), Noodle (guitar, keyboard, and occasional vocals) and Russel Hobbs (drums and percussion). Their fictional universe is explored through the band's website and music videos, as well as a number of other media, such as short cartoons. The music is a collaboration between various musicians, Damon being the only permanent musical contributor. Their style is a composition of multiple musical genres, with a large number of influences including:alternative rock, dub, hip hop, electronic, and pop music.
