the effects of half-assed VFX welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
music videos with terrible green-screen
for this list we’re focusing on serious
artists that delivered laughable
green-screen sequences in music videos
we’ll be excluding more comical acts
such as Flynn Flossie as they take pride
in their comedic awfulness we think
she’d know that again he gets when he
gets wetter than usual she comes to the
plaza she knew what it was number 10
larger-than-life Backstreet Boys in 1999
the Backstreet Boys were feeling pretty
good about themselves what’s with us
ring in a new era of pop music and all
so naturally when the time came to
create a video for larger-than-life they
enlisted director Joseph Kahn for a two
million dollar production catering to
their overly obsessive fan base
aside from the self-indulgent cheese
factor of it all you’d think that a
couple million dollars would allow for
some breathtaking green screen rather
than predictable nonsense after all it’s
not like anybody was expecting another
Star Wars or Titanic – but no one was
expecting this disaster
number nine slave to the music 24/7
if an artist makes a grand statement
with a song title brace yourself for an
undeniably average video for slave to
the music the early nineties ero hit by
24/7 the directors apparently said hey
that they’re a green-screen what if we
left it green and then thought and why
not some lemon to go with that line the
results video magic party Frank and I
really need for you every day of the
week I can’t live my life without Jam
and manage one mile I British women
being the visionaries that they were the
filmmakers also gave us some classic
white outlines as well as one
enthusiastic toad
number eight Swagger Jagger
cher Lloyd you can’t stop looking the
major enemy be what happened remember
the recent past when everyone had them
some swag well
cher Lloyd joined the swaggy swaggy
party for her debut album resembling
more of a dress a party than serious
street style
you got to give the directors credit
because they did manage to construct an
actual urban landscape you know because
of that swagger but the final result
proved to be more of a confused
futuristic aesthetic as opposed to
something raw and legitimately swag
worthy number seven bound to Kanye West
autumn London flaming you know it now
when the rear oh you dance posed to drag
even geniuses make huge mistakes from
time to time
however by now we’ve learned the easy is
most definitely not on the genius order
at least when it comes to music videos I
know I got a bad reputation walk around
always mad reputation to be fair it was
Nick Knight who directed this laughable
production complete with majestic horses
and of course our dear Kim Kardashian
doing whatever the hell she does best
amidst the scenic American Southwest one
good girl has worked 4,000 bitches BAM
honestly think of the layers and levels
of talent and record label brasses had
to have gone through and no one noticed
it was this awful Ramzan
watch your mouth to mouth them
number six apple eyes swoop
on the right track you got a problem
tell me
over the years artists have embraced the
concept of surrealism in a variety of
ways and for this funk rock production
swoop introduced the checkerboard music
video and upped the ante with a green
screen background featuring none other
than Big Mama nature money anything
on the direction and I’m a war
decades after release it’s still not
clear what exactly is going on here
aside from the monster ass size
checkerboard and the obvious use of
green-screen
not only does this Fiasco take away from
the art itself and perhaps even the
concept of art but it’s just as
offensive to the eyes in every possible
way which isn’t a good thing when the
song is horrible to begin with
yeah I am
number five Friday
Rebecca Black 7 a.m. waking up in the
morning I go dancing let’s not reopen an
old can of troll but let’s face it this
song is terrible gotta catch my bed with
this unique video Rebecca Black
inadvertently announced herself to the
world for better or for mostly works
joining her as producer Patrice Wilson
not only dropped a verse on Friday so
they switched lanes with a cop my shot
but also appears in the unfortunate
green-screen sequence in which he
awkwardly navigates the blurry streets
of a green-screen
cityscape you know because he couldn’t
just drive in the city all in all Friday
put a damper on everyone’s weekend plans
during the spring months of 2011 and
still has that power today
and let him worry
number four never gonna say I’m sorry
Ace of Base
upon the massive success of all that she
wants and beautiful life one might have
believed that Arista Records was ready
to unleash a memorable Ace of Base music
video on American audiences but watching
the devastating visuals of never going
to say I’m sorry that clearly didn’t pan
out
while there’s much to be explored here
most certainly the pointing fingers the
most curious moments come when the
members of Ace of Base gaze off screen
with hunched-over posture
their faces say it all we’re making a
music video but sadly nobody actually
seems to have understood with that
entails I’m never gonna say I’m sorry
I’m a clown for everyone
number three what’s up with you Eddie
Murphy featuring Michael Jackson clearly
Michael Jackson owed Eddie Murphy a
favor after Murphy appeared in his music
video for remember the time
and the result was the aptly titled
what’s up with you which either
demonstrates the comedian slow descent
into madness or the tragedy of stars
that have nobody in their life willing
to say no
amazingly enough Eddie seems to be
vibing hard with MJ but of course they
were just getting down in front of an
actual green-screen here’s an example of
how a simple black-and-white video would
have been just fine instead we got P
sides and hearts with fricken angel
wings
what’s up with you
number two hooked on a feeling David
Hasselhoff just the mention of David
Hasselhoff is enough to offend the
majority of the world’s population so
just imagine what happens when green
screen footage gets thrown into the mix
for a cover of the classic hooked on a
feeling the hop contributed the ongoing
visual assault of Mother Nature in
dastardly fascist
as an obvious predecessor to Kanye’s
bound to disaster one can see that hop
and mr. West are clearly in the same
type of genius category and they both
seem to have a fascination with
realistic landscapes and lifestyles
before we unveil our number one pick
here are a few honorable mentions
black clothes
come
turn off the lights and I’ll close to
the extreme I like a mic like a van to
light up a stage and watch a chump like
a candle day number one play ball
ac/dc
with the arrival of MTV countless rock
bands had to ride or die when he came to
executing their visual representations
of art so it’s hard to blame ac/dc for
this early 80s must wait what what this
is from 2014 oh boy well there’s really
no excuse
sure we can handle angus doing the
regular performance stick but the
collective visuals of play ball are just
downright disturbing kind of like the
80s rock band who can’t let go of his
mullet
nobody expects rock stars to play by the
rules especially ac/dc but you gotta
know the field before you can play ball
so do you agree with our selections what
music video do you think has the most
devastating green screen effects for
more mind-blowing top tens published
