I think it looks like “Doesn’t really matter” by Janet from the same director.
I don’t like Mariah’s new look, I prefer the original version of the song but the video looks good.
What exactly did you do in this video ?

funny you should mention ‘doesn’t really matter’ by Miss Jackson. This is a tokyo-pop themed video that probably went a little further than the Janet vid. I hadn’t heard the original version of the track but I think the Cam’ron rap is ok in it.

as far as what i did, i was the visual effects supervisor for the video. i was at the shoot to supervise the photography of the visual effects elements (ie greenscreen, etc). after the shooting, i supervised the elements being assembled from the various houses.

It’s very hard to explain what i do for a living but basically i supervised the visual effects, making sure we get the best quality of shots in the given budget/schedule.

i came across your site via generationrice.. what a coincidence: my friend pei did all the animation for astro boy sequence at the beginning of the video!
