i had a crush on courtney cox before I knew she was courtney cox...

4) Keanu Reeves is in Paula Abduls "Rush Rush" video...

In the paperboy Ditty video there is a guy jumping around with a LB hat on. I made my intro with extra extra frames of that shot to prolong the LB.

LL Cool J - Paradise features a very very fine Gabrielle Union in a swimsuit.

5) The fish that dies at the end of the "Epic" video by Faith No More belonged to Bjork.

So does Ron Howard, Forest Whitaker, and the dude from Broke Back Mountain.

"I hate the back of forest whitakers neck"

Watchwww.youtube.com

I miss bernie mac!

WTF was Ron Howard doing in that video?

even slo-motion didnt make Opey look smooth.

LOL!!! word. When i first seen the video. I was thinking the same thing. He stands out like Lady Gaga package.

6.) That Bentley Farnsworth dude who always has umbrellas and plaid gear, and hangs out with Outkast, is in the Usher - U Don't Have To Call Video. So is Diddy.

7.) Janet Jackson 'thats the way love goes" features Jennifer Lopez before she hit the music scene

Watchwww.youtube.com - 3:01-3:04

Blame it also features Quincy Jones.

8.) Janet Jackson's What Have You Done For Me Lately Video features a very young Paula Abdul who I believe choreographed the Video.

9.) Mariah Carey's Touch My Body Features Jack McBrayer aka Kenneth from 30 Rock.

10.) The extended version of Huey Lewis "The Power of Love" features a Christopher Lloyd aka Dr. Emmett Brown in his Delorean.

11.)O'neal mcknight - check your coat also features Doc brown and the delorean

Man when I started this thread I thought I knew way more fun facts for video.

12) Fat Joe is in the Mad Lion - Take it Easy video (so is KRS-One, but we all knew that)

Ron Howard directed the blame it vid. Thats why he's in there

a-swift brought up the Kanye Vid for Heartless but whats funny about those pictures of the Jetsons is in some of the videos they have eyes and some don't.

Evil Knievel sued Kanye West for the use of his likeness in the touch the sky video but the lawsuit was settled.

Here's a fun video fact.

MTV used to play music videos.

13) you can se where the backdrop is tied-off in Sir-Mix-Alot - Baby Got Back, unless you cropped ur video too much.... this is so blatant I almost wonder if it intentional

can you back that up with paperwork?

Here's something I just learned.

On the video of Rapture by Blondie, Grandmaster Flash was supposed to be in the scene where he is mentioned, but he was a no-show to the shoot.

Standing in as the "DJ" was instead an artist named Jean-Michel Basquiat.

My good friend Nicole was a dancer in the franchise boyz - I think they like me. She was also a laker girl at the time

That's dope.

Actor Joe Pesci raps and appears in a music video called "Wise Guy" released in 1998.

Eric Roberts stars in the Akon Smack That Video

Eric Roberts is in a few videos. Mr Brightside, We Belong Together, Smack That, and It's Like That.

Chris Penn is in the Jay-z - Can I get a video along with jay-z and that one chick...whatever happened to her.

Amil?
She's back in the Studio.

not with JayZ though... her original label, Major Coin

Still one of my favorite Jay-Z songs of all time.

Its hella long thou...gets hard to play a near 6 minute older track like that

make a quick hitter two verse one.

yea but it takes away from the song...expessially that song...all 3 verses are good...jayz, amil and ja rule...im all about short edits, but not for this track :)

that's like trying to play the usher - yeah track without the luda near the end. gotta let it play man!

yep yep...exactly.

I just made edits of both of those songs. Usher is still in regular rotation but 1 verse of him and then cut to Luda is more then enough. I am cool with Can I Get A at 1 verse and then out.

c'mon.... no one wants to hear ja rule... lol

"can I get a" was the first, and LAST time I wanted to hear Ja Rule.
anything he recorded after that....ugh.
esp that shit when he was "signing"

I still like Holla Holla. That beat was sick.

Or Amil...haha

I still bump Holla Holla. The only Ja Rule song I've ever liked. I remember one time Ja Rule was in the club and I was thinking damn, I don't think I have more than one Ja Rule song to play.

I love holla holla, that track is pimp...although the edit I did cuts it short LoLLLLLLLLLLL

go watch the Same Song - Digital Underground.
aside from the movie clips.
dan Aykroyd, NWA and of course the first appearance of 2pac

That song was also featured in the movie Nothing but Trouble. That's why you see Dan Aykroyd in it. Funny movie.

I actually paid to see that in the theater.
whooops.

who knew Aykroyd, Chase & Candy would stink a flic up so much

back to fun video facts.

The DJ in the Let's Dance video by Lady Gaga doesn't have a mixer. He's got 2 technics decks and a blank white sheet in the middle of them. It just some sort of blank white panel with a martini glass sitting on it and he's faking the funk by putting his hands on the record.

a VERY young, but still smoooking Rhianna appears in Memph Bleek's "Its Like that" video.

take a peek, she still has her baby phat... jail bait!

now that's a fun fact! i didn't know that.

img269.imageshack.us

Isn't Shaq at the end of the "Sexy Can I" video?

djing with space cowboy from lady gaga video on sat - i believe thats the dj you are referring to, i will ask him about that

Must be an easy rider. No mixer required. haha

I thought that was just an "actor" in the video...


space cowboy is this dude
www.spacecowboyonline.com

which is confusing because there was a space-cowboy on Skint records
who did some nasty remixes in the late 90s early y2k.
most notably the "I would die for you" Prince remix.

homeboys super emo

rihanna is ugly.

If anybody has this video, message me! I would love to trade something for it or pay for it legally if it's available anywhere.

But on topic...

I just found out via a facebook post that a girl I went to high school with was in the 112 and Luda "Hot and Wet" video. Went back and watched it, sure enough there she was! Small world.

her name is Kelly Thiebaud

thats all I need to say.

Old Skool VOl 5

AWESOME! Thank you. I'll have to pick up a few of those oldskool POs and convert them...

I highly recommend those discs. too bad disc 5 has the floating watermark of death (no windows)

Yeah that girl in the Basshunter videos did some hardcore porn.

pics or it didn't happen

ha!

Gina Lynn is PornStar in Eminem's SUPERMAN video.
who is plenty topless.

eminem confessed that Superman had alot to do with Mariah Carey.
(you'll have to google that, I forget the Details)

and of course Metallica's Turn the page
has 80s porn star Ginger Lynn.

ginger lynn is the most famous porn star to come out of my hometown of rockford, IL. she's around my age so I knew people who knew her.

how's that for a fun fact.

John Stamos (yes, Uncle Jessie) playing bongos in the Beach Boys Kokomo video...............FTW!

He actually played with them occasionally. I remember seeing that when the movie Cocktail came out.

www.thesun.co.uk

FIrst link when you google "basshunter girl"

shes not all that, looks like she has chipped ham in her gutchies lol

actress Leila Arcieri got her start in Q tip's Vivrant thing video.
and again briefly in Breath & Stop.

God, she is smooooooooookkin.

She's got a great face, but yeah, she's beat up pretty bad down there.

Beef curtains like a mug

Just noticed today the Controller for Dj Hero is in the Make Her say video (not really trying to bring up dj hero in the forum) but thought it was suitable here.

That certainly is a fun fact.

I still think this is the ILLEST set of turntables I've ever seen in a video.

www.vjaswift.com

how long til thats the way to roll.

show up with a 5TB thumbdrive and plug into the 60inch touch screen LED.

Seriously, seeing that in the video made me go out and research where can I get one of these things. And then reality set in.

What is the reality?

Is it fake and not real?

it cant be too off...
Ive seen videos with the control surface is a touch screen.

and Bjork's "DJ" (for lack of better terms) has that huge round table thing
with the blocks thats pretty insane.

you can tell that it is fake by the movement of the djs hands. great idea thou...

it's not tooo far from reality.
that setup is completely possible with today's technology.
audio output, mp3/video movement, and effects could ALL be manipulated with a touchscreen.
just don't know how i feel about not having tt's tho...i'm attached to them.


btw is that premier?

Yes that is Primo in that video!

heres that ReacTABLE

Watchwww.youtube.com
Watchwww.youtube.com
and the WAVEtable
Watchwww.youtube.com

this is the closest thing Ive seen:
sethsandler.com
its the same setup from the music video...

and of course the one that started it all... someone actually spinning with dual
touchscreens.
Watchwww.youtube.com
they actually have a 1/2 dozen videos TRYING to cut with it...

but you can see... we are not that far from that interface
www.youtube.com

i just did an edit for luda stand up and is that kanye west (at around 2:20) ?

shit i think chingy is in it 2 lol

Kanye produced Stand Up and Chingy is Ludacris' artist so that would explain it.

i knew the 2nd part but didnt know kanye produced it...cool

I looped the intro of Stand Up the other day so I could give a little "let's remember Kanye made some good shit" speech.

worked good...everyone turned and watched the video while they danced.

How many product placements for beats by dre headphones can you name? Biggest headphone scam in the history of headphone scams. I think every single video out of interscope since the release of the headphones features them.

those headphones are mad over priced.

Genius marketing! They couldn't possibly cost more than $50 to manufacture.

Beats by Dre. Off the top of my head:

Lady Gaga
Paradiso Girls
Black Eyed Peas

Any other product placements I've missed?

They're in the video for Gives You Hell by All-American Rejects, too.

I think they are in the Ester Dean - Drop it Low video as well. Or maybe it was Audio Push...one of the two.

Interscope has to show them in every video and there is also another company that has to show them in every video as well. One of my friends sells monster cable acc. and when he went out to there HQ he told me about the interscope deal they just signed. I used them a couple of times their ok more for just Celebs to look col in photos with their iphones lol.

It's alright when the headphone "placement" just kind of works with the video concept. But sometimes you can just tell that the director had his video treatment all tight and then started shooting it and someone came in and said, "oh yeah, by the way,.. you MUST get these stupid ass headphones in your video".

then it looks kind of silly and i'm like, why are the headphones in this video.

i mean it's not that bad. it's not like Dr. Dre was making a foreman grill or something and directors were forced to work in an electric skillet into every video. That would suck,

can u imagine a gf grill in a mv LOL

New TI song.
I be cooking them ni99as like a george forman grill. No need for fat, bitch.

That damn Dr Pepper Commercial...

I swear, drives me crazy.

It's ok...I'm a doctor.

The writers and director should be take out back and shot.

its always about the money first.

I'll be honest, the thing that pissed me off the most about Kanye's rant at the VMAs was that he said that Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time.

Shit, I can name 200 videos that are better. Beyonce made a very athletic video, not a great video.

right... it was such a great video they re-created it pretty damn close to the original
on SNL with a white sheet and a B&W switch.

I did hear that video was done in 1-take though...
which means it was even cheaper and easier.

+1.

It would be one thing if the video he was lobbying for was some kind of cinematic masterpiece. How does dancing in black and white equate to "one of the greatest videos of all time"?

Take in consideration that he was drinking henny

Feist - 1234 video is waaaay better. That video was done with a single continuous take. The ENTIRE video. Watch that video and be amazed at what the production team was able to do from roll tape to cut without stopping action. Freaking amazing. Puts some of those steadicam shots from good fellas to shame.

Or the video for Bat For Lashes - What's A Girl To Do. I think that one tops 1234.

Kanye is just an idiot and i hope his career fails bc of it! Drunk of not , you just don't touch a white girls moonman on stage!

Fun fact, tommy davidson (in living color) is in the bad intentions video towards the end acting a fool.

Pussycat Dolls - When I Grow Up

Watchwww.youtube.com

i wanna have boobies.

I love it when she says that.

No prob, glad you got it.

In the Flashdance video by Irene Cara, the video is entirely made of footage from the Movie and doesn't show Irene Cara at all. Also, the breakdance scene that was part of her audition in the movie, was done by Crazy Legs of the Rock Steady Crew in disguise.

Is that a very young Jermaine Dupri in the music video of Whodini - Escape? wow LoL

no way!

Watch it...like 1/2 way thru it cuts to a crowd of people and I sweat its JD at about 8 years old

*swear

Jd is in freaks come out at night, so I'm sure he's in escape.

i just bought a portable car jumpstarter battery thing at costco!

it has an air compressor, a light and some gauges on it.

w00t!

Son of the label CEO.

i love lamp!

I knew Kangol Kid and Doctor Ice (UTFO) were part of Whodini's crew, but didn't know that about Jermaine Dupri

wrong thread?

or is that a fun fact?

Wrong thread

I just noticed that Turbo from the Breakin' movies is in Lionel Richie's "All Night Long" video.

Also there's a short clip right before the cop comes out and dance where Lionel has a tiny piece of white fuzz in his hair.

agnes - release me

I think I saw Dwight Freeney sporting them during the warm ups yesterday before the Super Bowl as well...not a music video though.

yeah, i'd bet they were given to him. i mean, a pair for everybody in immediate and extended family.

All (or most) of the new Interscope record label videos have Dr Dre headphones in them..

keaneu reeves is in the rush rush video by paula abdul.

I think Arsenio Hall is in the Straight Up video from Paula Abdul too.

what ever happened to a h?

how come you didnt tell me how good the cheese was!

In the video for Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls, when they dolly past the movie theater,... FLETCH is playing.

never heard the word dolly used as a verb.

i was dolly'ing in the booth like a freak nasty

for me it's usually a noun

either one of these

www.industrymartusa.com

or 2 of these

nclrights.files.wordpress.com

oh my GOD dolly is lookin HORRID

i read a lot of scripts rob, dolly is used as a verb in every one of them.

The only thing I read are posts on these forums really. I guess I missed it.

Dolly forward
Dolly back
track left
track right
boom up
boom down
pan left
pan right

these are all camera movements that a crew would understand, in the context of a scene. Of course a more complex camera rig could have dozens of axis of movement.

now those are some fun facts!

just read on fb from a friend's post...

Vin Diesel is Kwame's cousin and can be seen in some of his videos...
