Gorillaz - Broken - Fanimation Video

This is a fan animated video. Noodle and Russel are from the "Escape from Plastic Beach tour" visuals. I built and animated the scene around them to include 2D, Murdoc and the Plastic Beach Island. I'm still new to mixing audio levels and there is a hiccup, I'd recommend keeping the volume below 50% if you have nicer speakers. My inspiration is based on one of Jamie Hewlett's illustrations of 2D in a row boat in front of the island. This was meant to be a lip syncing demonstration that got carried away into a full length music video.
Thank you everyone who gave me such great critiques and suggestions.
I think you really helped me bring out a better video than the last one.

I hope you all like it!

Alright everyone we're doing a video for Broken. 2D you'll be the main focus.
Murdoc there'll be a shot of you playing your bass, Noodle will play her melodica.


Russel: What about me?


... You'll hold Noodle.

Hey Brandon, I really like what you did with this! Fun idea to integrate the animation from the official broken video with your video.

[lilangel]

2D looks so cute when he closes his eyes while singing I love this

[KnockMonsterr]

I think this is vastly underappreciated, its really well done and its amazing how you were able to capture the Gorillaz style in your own way

[TheMilitantHorse]

This is one of the few videos that I've seen where the band mates are all together and not outrunning something. You did wonderful on this.

[KarazolaVT]

It's funny to think that canonically, Russell was replaced with a drum machine for this entire album, so this ENTIRE contribution to this phase is just holding Noodle

[jaspervalentine]

I like how u used the noodle live animation

[skankhunt]

Your recreation of Jamie's art style is truly beautifull congrats

[Meppity]

The small changes and edits really improved the video - the mouth is so much better now too! Either way, you did a fantastic job and should be incredibly proud of yourself ☺️

[j.g.]

When my cousin died my father called me and he told me about she's dead next he said..."we're BROKEN son...BROKEN"
next I was in the bus and this song begins I can't stop crying when I hear this song

[ennibee]

Oh my god this is amazing. I can't even express how much I love it! It's so Gorillaz, it looks almost official!! The improvements from the draft are incredible! I think you captured very well the song's athmosphere and 2-D singing. The only thing is the movements of 2-D and Murdoc are still a little "puppety" but it's not really that noticeable! Overall it's a great video, congratulations, you've got talent!
P.s.: 2-D's wink at the end made me smile, nice touch! :)

THE CIG HITTING THE WATER THEN MUSIC HITTING THE WATER WAS INSANE

[MrSirDrew]

Lyrics
Distant stars
Come in black or red
I've seen their worlds
Inside my head
They connect
With the fall of man
They breathe you in
And dive as deep as they can
There's nothing you can do for them
They are the force between
When the sunlight is arising
There's nothing you can say to him
He is an outer heart
And the space has been broken
It's broken
Our love
Broken
It's broken
Our love
Is it far away in the
Glitter freeze
Or in our eyes
Every time they meet
It's by the light
Of the plasma screens
We keep switched on
All through the night while we sleep
There's nothing you can do for them
They are the force between
When the sunlight is arising
There's nothing you can say to her
I am without a heart
And the space has been broken
It's broken
Our love
Broken
It's broken
Our love
Broken
It's broken
Our love
Broken
It's broken
Our love
Broken

How has Gorillaz not given this a 🤜 yet?!?! This is great!

[iansantiago]

Normally I don't like videos made by fans but I recognize that your work is very well executed
Cheers!

[shrevackado]

Honestly I love this, I always pictures 2D singing with noodle and russle doing their thing, and this video brings it all together nicely :)

[trashmouse]

Its awesome that you make sure every detail its perfect (the plastic beach frame). Good job!

[kyk]

so you’re telling me that this isn’t official? THIS IS FANMADE-

[Me-ynbo]

:0 Nah i have to say it! My respect! This is so great!

[theomumacaw]

It can only get more fluid from here! ^^ great work! I only wished Murdoc was in this for a bit longer (my favorite!) I think that the only thing you need to work on is fluidity! But, that comes with time and patience (And loooots of frames.) I can't wait to see more from you!
