This is the official video for the song.
"Welcome to Heartbreak" is NOT the next single though.
I have to say that this dude Nabil Elderkin is a very dope video director, he directed the videos for Black Eyed Peas' "Like That", Kanye's "Champion", Will I Am's "She's A Star" and a few more. All of them have been super creative but this one definitely tops the previous ones...and hey, Cudi is in there, too...
Very cool !
Very cool !

Graphically this is one of the best music video's I have ever seen....
ReplyDeleteI can just imagine what a headache it must have been to render all the effects for this video....DOPE!!!!!
is the video surrposed to be distorted or is it my laptop
ReplyDeleteThat's how the video is supposed to be...it's not your laptop...
ReplyDeleteawe ok, i wish it was clear so you can see the grapics but its still a dope video
ReplyDeleteThe distortion IS the graphics. Its concept is a play on one of those old damaged VHS tapes. It's great! Ye never has a bad video!... except maybe for, like, Champion.
ReplyDeleteduh i know its the graphics
ReplyDeleteim saying i wish the graphics was clean instead of using the distortion effect on them
ReplyDeleteI think the vid would be a lot better without the squares of distortion. It seems like the effects in the video are good enough without making it look like the video is buffering or something
ReplyDeleteBut that was the point ^
ReplyDeletenot a good idea. the distortion makes it pretty unwatchable.
ReplyDeletethe distortion doesn't work because:
ReplyDeletea. its annoying as hell
and more importantly:
b. if the video is imitating a damaged vhs, then there should be streaks and lines, not pixels and cubes. The whole idea is dumb and carried out badly.
808 is dope you are just closed minded like most hip hop fans
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Anon knows what it is, only i woulda said Negros....
ReplyDeletehow much lsd were the producers on?
ReplyDeleteTRIPPIN...this video is straight ILL
ReplyDeletethis video is fuccin dope as hell. and for the ppl bitchin bout the graphics, i want you to go in your basement/attic find a old ass vhs tape(dont clean it) pop it in your vcr (if you stil have a working one that is) and tell me you wont see this shyt. i kno cause i did and this same shyt happened......like i said fuccin dope video and great concept
ReplyDeleteWrong ^^^^^

the video had scattered pixels, not streaking. The video is dumb...
Their concept was not to make the video look like a damaged VHS.
ReplyDeleteThe technique is called "data moshing".
The transitions and the flow into other pictures are supposed to transport the feeling of the song.
I was just replying to others who said they liked how it looked like an old damaged vhs... which is wrong.
ReplyDeleteBut anyway, I think the data moshing IDEA could have been good, but the way they implemented it makes it practically unwatchable. The only time you know what you're seeing is when they stop using it for a few brief moments. Its an interesting concept, but in the end, YOU CANT SEE SHIT, and its supposed to be a music video...
everyone's saying its not ment to look like a damaged vhs but yet and still it say's "play" in the upper lefthand corner at the beginning. and yes it is called "data moshing" but still they're key point was to make it look like a damaged video. if not why would they have the "play" sign and static in the beginning and end?
ReplyDeleteNo, I just have working ears, so when I hear bad music like this, I cringe.
ReplyDeleteI tried to like it. There was nothing to like.
k2theillest... thats my point. They made it look like a damaged tape just at the beginning and end. I would have been ok if that went through the whole video, but then they randomly switched to "data moshing" which has nothing to do with a vhs
