Tα πρώτα μουσικά βίντεο με χρήση γραφικών

    Η οπτικοποίηση των τραγουδιών πρωτοεμφανίστηκε στα τέλη της δεκαετίας του 20 και εξυπηρετούσε τόσο διαφημιστικούς σκοπούς ,όσο και την ανάγκη έκφρασης του δημιουργού. Τα πρώτα μουσικά βίντεο που δημιουργήθηκαν ήταν τα λεγόμενα Screen Songs , γνωστά και ώς KoKo Song Car-Tunes , από τους παραγωγούς Max και Dave Fleischer. Τα Screen Songs είχαν την μορφή των σημερινών καραόκε ενώ παράλληλα εμπεριείχαν motion graphics (βλ. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wX1_acp53U)

   Tις επόμενες δεκαετίες κάνουν την εμφάνισή τους οι περίφημες μουσικές ταινίες του Walt Disney ,όπως η ταινία Silly Symphony (1938) και Fantasia (1920), ταινίες animation που συγχρονίζονται με τη μουσική. Δεν πρόκειται βέβαια για CGI εφέ. Παρόλα αυτά , τα screen songs και οι μουσικές ταινίες έπαιξαν σπουδαίο ρόλο στην εξέλιξη των computer animated μουσικών βίντεο.

I Ain’t Got Nobody

59 in 109 of Screen Songs animated short film history Release: June 17th, 1932 Country: USA Director: Dave Fleischer, Max Fleischer

Please note: This film contains racist caricatures.

“The Mills Brothers appear on a television in the living room of a cartoon lion, whose magical powers can bring inanimate objects to life. He performs this trick on various paintings, furniture, and pets, as the Mills Brothers sing ‘Tiger Rag’ and a few rhythmic bars of ‘Some Of These Days.’ Finally, the lion casts a spell on the audience, commanding them to sing along with the Mills Brothers, who sing ‘I Ain't Got Nobody’ as the bouncing ball dutifully guides the audience through the lyrics.

A continuation of their Song Car-Tunes series, Fleischer Studios’ Screen Songs featured popular music set to animation and ‘follow-the-bouncing-ball’ sing-along lyrics (which Max Fleischer invented). The series ran from 1929-1938.

The Mills Brothers were an African-American jazz/pop quartet active between 1928-1982, selling over 50 million records. In this short, they sing ‘I Ain’t Got Nobody’, a 1915 song written by composer/singer Spencer Williams (or, possibly, jazz musician Charles Warfield).”
