Gorillaz - On Melancholy Hill

Last music video I promise (maybe) but again I really want to shed some light on this masterpiece of a music video. The song itself is really mellow and chilled out but the video is far from it. It shows an entire war happening but i think the clash in action and calm work really well together. The animation is also fantastic done in true Gorillaz fashion with all the characters: Russell, Murdoch, 2d and Noodle. Whats great about the Gorillaz videos is that it really brings them all to life and seeing them in a variety of situations makes them almost seem like they are the members. They each have such a unique and weird personality even though they barely ever talk.




The video also shows a small army of other artists in submarines, including Snoop Dog, backing up the Gorillaz as they fight off a weird black demon thing. I always think seeing famous people as cartoons is always amusing especially when its done so well.
