I surfed to youtube and typed "Mamma mia"!, the legendary song by ABBA. Whatta video!. Its simplicity and innocence baffled me. Its lack of groovy and flashy video-camera movements made it very eyeful. The video can be tagged 'majestic'. Next I saw the video of "Say aah" by Trey songz feat fabulous. Cheezy camera work. It contains the hip and the hop of the whole set, the dancing girls, and Trey songz feat Fabulous. My mind bladded "They sure know their way with the camera". Singer asks girls to say aah and they surely make them...Video has terrific transition with overlapping video shots which comprise to make it a kool and rocking song, something drastically different than the Mamma Mia! video's simplicity and portrayal of betrayal. Well, this video makers, they have a perfect idea of which actor will look good at which angle (with context to the material of the song as in if the song is hip-hop then actor should look hipped and hopped while if the song is dramatic/sad then the actor's shots should make the viewers burst into tears). You can see, you can feel the pain that has been caused to the girls in the Mamma mia! while girls and boys in the Say Aah! are having a blast at the party, saying "Aah!". Everthing on a whole made me feel that music videos speak for themselves. I hail the craftsmenship of Video producers. May you'll keep doing the terrific work.
