STYLES OF VIDEO: HOMAGE AND REFERENCING
Gnarls Barkley - Smiley Faces
Uploaded by bggirlfan. - Music videos, artist interviews, concerts and more.
A homage is an artist's way of honouring a video they admire by recreating elements of it. Referencing does the same but does not honour the original video. Artists will usually pay a homage to artists that have inspired them and Gnarls Barkley's "Smiley Faces" does not pay homage to one artist but a whole range of artists from different eras.
The video has a lot of chroma key and digital effects to allow the artists of gnarls barkley to be placed in a video that has already been created. Some scenes however have been recreated from scratch, like the Michael Jackson "Thriller" scene just before the finish of the video. The overall technique of the video is very complex and would have taken a lot of time editing the artists into the different videos from the past. The storyline of the video is very interesting, as they create an illusion of a documentary (also known as mockumentary). There is a discussion through out the video if Gnarls Barkley is a real person who influenced all these great artists to create legendary music.
