Visual Candy: Maka- Sweet [Video Critique]



Critiqued by Lukey Lenz

Maka’s Sweet video is one of the most intriguing visual pieces regarding music that I have seen in a while. When I first viewed this visual, I believed it to be a visualizer. There was a wide array of animation and moving pieces. Typically visualizers loop, but this video takes the viewer across vast landscapes and continues a story. 

It’s obvious Maka and director, Str8Buttah, had a specific vision for this piece. Watching 'Sweet' is like watching a moving collage, full of articulate images that change size, flip, and evolve into other images. 'Sweet' has a visual depth full of textures and layering that exemplifies detail. 

There is so much to this video that should be enjoyed, so that’s what I’ll let you all do.
