Snoop Dogg
Posted by Scott
I know this isn’t exactly the subject matter that’s normally discussed here, but I saw this today and just had to post it. Really cool 80’s video vibe here, complete with old school video effects and VHS "PLAY" text overlay at the beginning. Really cool how the VHS tracking is off at the beginning like it’s an old tape, they really did a great job making this feel authentic. The whole thing is an interesting departure for this guy and shows that along with a whole lot of style he has a great sense of humor. The video was directed by someone called "Melina", not sure who that is, but good work. Snoop Dogg – Sensual Seduction Video >

At around 2:50 the expanding outline/fill sequence is awesome…supergraphic even :D

November 29, 2007 at 12:28 amPeople keep saying 80’s, but this seems late 70’s to me. The 80’s weren’t that bad were they? Great song tho :)

perhaps you’re right….I always automatically attribute this style to early 80’s, but that’s probably just because I don’t remember anything from the 70’s (was only 2 when they ended)
