For my second practitioner of animation im looking at animated music videos and doing in depth research on the background of the music videos here are a few of the best ones in my opinion:
The music video for "Good Morning" is essentially the result of Japanese pop artist Takashi Murakami bringing to life the various designs he had composed for Graduation's album artwork through the use of cel-shaded animation. Its story takes place within a futuristic metropolis called Universe City, whose inhabitants are anthropomorphic creatures. The protagonist of the video is "Dropout Bear", West's longtime mascot, who – as with previous albums – appears on the cover of Graduation. The story chronicles Dropout Bear overcoming various obstacles in an effort to reach his college campus in time for his graduation ceremony.
An edited version of the animated video was used as pre-release promotion for the album.[2] In April 2008, the video was shown in its full length during a tour of Murakami's work at the Brooklyn Museum.[3] The video was also featured in an exhibit at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain.[citation needed] The video was made available to the public upon its release in the iTunes Store on August 26, 2008.[4]
