Great effort must have gone into this stop-motion music video for Rex the Dog’s Bubblicious and it has truly paid off. The concept of the video is brilliant- it almost works as a tutorial to make your own dog. The animator creates the character from cardboard and glue and makes its mouth sing along with the song. With the addition of eyes, and a stage with speakers the tutorial video progresses into a full on music feature, with lighting effects and more extravagant character movements.
There is some significant camera positioning which gives authenticity to the characters and scene- A close up of the singer’s mouth with a shadow of the dog bopping his head to the beat in the background (01:53) and the introduction of the disco ball with the camera attached above (02:16), are two examples.
