Book Reviews of Visual Rocks: The Heart of the Music Video

Book Review: Music Video Gold
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great new book/dvd that features some divine & new music video assets. The Beck video of course, is one of the extravaganzas, but the lesser known directors such as leftchannel and MK12 are the hidden Jewels.

Without a doubt this is worth your viewing and reading time. In these over-stimulated & pop obssessed times, you probably have missed out on most of these innovative videos featured or mentioned.

Luckily, Visual Rocks decided to scoop up these twinkling treasures for us to experience!

Summary of Visual Rocks: The Heart of the Music Video

If music is a universal language, then music videos are a universal sign language. Visual Rocks takes you to the heart of the music video with in-depth interviews with 19 of the world's most creative designers & production companies who have produced stunning music videos for the likes of Coldplay, Beck, Gwen Stefani and Bright Eyes that have pushed the boundaries of the art form and raised the bar for subsequent efforts. When the ear meets the eye under the guidance of a gifted creator, the outcome is a new kind of art one that will not only rock your mind and trigger your inspiration but will also heighten your awareness of both the music itself and conceptions of contemporary visual design. VisualRocks comes with a DVD that features all the music videos featured in its pages. Whether you listen and watch and then read, or read and then listen and watch, or do all three at the same time you are assured of an exciting, exhilarating and provocative experience.
