I think it's awesome that RBN authors can pick and choose the animations for songs they author. I'm sure it's tedious as hell, but if giving the option, I would make so many "choreographed" music videos.

Instead of those cheesy chromakey style seizure causing abominations, the "music video" venues should be a montage of the random cut scenes and stage performances.

So, when you're band is performing in a "music video" you would see them in the diner, or in a limo or eating pizza or walking on the train tracks or any of the dozens of canned scenes you see when you're not actually playing with a stage performance "cut in" between them.

That would be more like a real music video (instead of a throwback to MTV's first month on cable).

I think that would be a great idea. Maybe have a few themes for the scenes, like metal warriors or hard-partying punks. General enough to fit a few genres, without being generic like the current video shoots are.

If any RB video shoot was a throwback to early 80s music videos, it would be the RB2 white room (White Wedding). The chroma key was a luxury back then.

I'd leave the choreography to Dance Central. ;)

But maybe with an extended set of directed cuts, this would be fun to make and fun to watch. Just intersperse it with enough free choice non-directed cuts to keep it from being completely scripted like Guitar Hero.

Character attitudes would benefit both.


Oh great, I turned it into the new animation thread. :D You can't keep us down!

that would take up even more space on my hard drive. do not want.
