I’m a very proud supporter of local music…

I really think local music can compete on an international level, but… I feel that local music videos are “not up to scratch”!

I don’t think our artist have the budget to create videos with that “international look”. It’s a shame, but instead of looking at the negative, I want to rather focus on the positive…

Does anyone have any local music videos that they really like?

And are actually proud to call it Proudly South African?

youtube links would be great!
:)
 
I shall refrain from commenting on the previous post.

I would have to say the local "rock" bands do a pretty good job, and they're generally my favourite
 
South African music is where Australia were at 20 years ago. SA sure has so excellent muso's on the scene right night, and some with huge international potential. Justjinger, Freshly ground (lead singer has awsome voice) to name a few can look forward to a life of international fame.

I agree with inital post about local videos, they do lack abit of the 'international feel', but that will improve.....

There is some good talent in SA (bar the one in your signature). However, unless we have a really good outlet for music videos (maybe a decent FTA music channel could do the trick), there really isn't a very stimulating reason to do music vids in this country - particularly if you are not a commercially viable artist or band that's going to have your stuff played on M-Net's Sound Check or SABC's gap fillers.

I would love to get a proper 24 hour music channel going in SA (for all and only South African bands and artists). Just don't get the funding and the local recording industry are to put it bluntly assholes and very sticky.
 
check out:
The Narrow - The Banded

SA rock guys... hehehehe, catchy tune and noice and freaky vid...

That would be so great! MTV Base should just be for local musicians. International artists have MTV!

If an artist was guarantied airplay for their videos, I'm sure local videos would improve dramatically. So at the end of the day I think it’s safe to say that it’s the SA media holding back our artists.

As for Jae, you can think what you want but she got some of the best “international quality” looking videos. I also think Danny K and Mandoza’s music video is very professional as well! Will look for some youtube links…

I love the production on this video, nice graphics... They must have paid a lot for this one...

Jae - I Like It

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srqBECuqQ_Y

No graphics in this one, but I think its so filppin' cool the way the chair just moves along as she starts singing. How do they do that? I like the camera quality on this one.

Combined Danny's graphics with Jae quality - That's how our local videos should be!:)
 
Doing a search for Jae on google returned MyADSL in the top ten searches. Jae should pay MyADSL for advertising.

Jae is not quality. Quality is a U2 or Kylie vid.

My best Kylie video is "Come into my world". The one where she walks around the street and it just loops and loops... It's hot!

now you went and spoilt it...I was reading the thread and giving you credit for not going on and on about that jae thing, and then, tada, you went and slipped in a link to a jae music vid.

once bitten etc...
 
Here we go again, watch this video of Freshly Ground and tell me what is wrong with it, nothing!

They sell their music purely on their talent not on their looks. Personally its not really my type of music but i think what they do is professional and well done, the lead singer has an amazing voice.

Well, there are Mk89, which plays SA music mostly.
 
The only one who is any good is Jae! Jae for the win! All others are k@k! Jae Jae Jae Jae Jae Jae Jae Jae Jae Jae Jae Jae Jae Jae Jae Jae Jae Jae Jae Jae Jae Jae Jae Jae Jae Jae Jae Jae Jae!!

I've never been so glad not to know who an artist is. Jae? wth...

On topic, the best SA music videos I've ever seen are the anime music videos at the Rage competitions. We've got some talented guys and girls here... They just need the material.
