SO, WHAT IS A LYRIC VIDEO?
.
A lyric video is an animational content which focuses on the music lyrics. The main part in the video is text. Words may be animated in a different ways and in different scenes and surroundings. Also, lyrics may be just overlayed over a real filmed music video or integrated into the scene. That’s a really simple concept, but it works! Visualization of the song is a great opportunity for creating an awesome content. A lot of bands and musicians already got thousands of fans only with the help of their lyric videos. For example, country superstar Tailor Swift released a big quantity of lyric videos 5 years ago, and where is she know? On the top of music industry and her name is already written in the history of music.
.
There came more than 28 years. Lyric video evolved from a typical music video with a couple of words into a full and independent music clip. In the early beginning it was a visualization of some song words. Then appeared videos with the bigger quantity of words. Then, we’ve got times of karaoke. There are a lot of discussions about it, but we may find karaoke videos as lyric videos too. Anyway, it’s already in the past. Then appeared simple videos with texts just over a picture (bandphoto, nature shot or any other 2d picture).
.
After 2d there came overlays for real footages, where texts are like over the video but not into the scene. After that, lyric videos have got a strong influence by motion graphics. It was a big step, ‘cause motion graphics require powerful equipment and experts in animation. Such videos may be done only by experienced animators. In this period of time almost all of the lyric videos were done in this way. Motion graphics combine different creative elements – typography, images, solids and shapes. All of these elements are animated in a specific way.
After motion graphics lyric video we’ve got 3D videos. This type of music lyric video is very popular in rock and metal music. It’s a video with 3D background and animated lyrics integrated into this scene, with a big quantity of additional effects. Shaking, fire, explosions, textures and a lot of such stuff.
