props make music videos better well why they make the video more interesting imagine a i love you
girl very boy girl type song and imagine a song all about money and there's no money
imagine a song about all the there's no so i got five props for you guys
use these props for better music videos
what's up everyone my name is Cracka Lack welcome back to cracka lack tv in this video as you see
we're talking about props for music videos and specifically these five that i've narrowed down
for you guys like use these five props for better music videos all right you guys let's jump right
into it number one use this prop for better music videos is objects that are already in your scene
so anything can be a prop let's say you have an artist on the couch an artist sitting in the
car the car is the prop the couch is the prop if they're walking through the house the house is the
product let's say that you're in a grungy area and there might be you know a bunch of junk and trash
around on the ground and broken glass like capture all that that's props utilizing the resources
that you have and improvise on the fly see what's around what's going on all of that can be used as
a problem number two is people anyone other than the artist is like the prop so let's say you got a
dude he's got a bunch of his boys behind him like that crowd use them get shot to the crowd maybe
close up cameos of everyone doing their meet mugs to the cameras you got the models doing the sexy
face flirting with the camera this is you know sex cells rap music videos lots of ass the more
that's the better depending on the video depending on the song a general rule of thumb that i found
is kind of like the more faces the more people in the video the more interesting it looks the only
thing that goes with that is the more difficult it is because now you're counting on 30 people to
be there and you know each person each and every one of us we got our own lives our own schedules
you know let's say this person's babysitter's running late then this person their car broke
down and then this person they're waiting on a ride and so with all those different people it
makes it more difficult so one way to avoid it is pay people i've had very bad luck in the past with
doing the whole free pretty girl that's going to be the model in the video and then she's not tied
to it like that just paris will show up so prop number three for better music videos is money
specifically prop money shout out to propmoney.com you guys i have looked on google for prop money
for music videos what i found was a lot of just super bootleg it almost looks like you could buy
it at walmart like that your kids would play with and it doesn't look realistic enough so
after searching for a while i found propmoney.com and they even gave me a coupon code to give you
guys that way you guys can save some money so link in the description is propmoney.com and use
coupon code crack25 for 25 off your order now using the prop money there's lots of different
things that you can do right let's say you got a drug deal going on and you want to show a quick
shot of like a glimpse that there's a bunch of money in the bag just to get your point across
you can do that let's say you want to throw up a bunch of money and let it slowly fall down in slow
motion that look really dope i recently used some prop money in a music video where it was
all over the floor we had the money inside the actual bag dude counting the money there's lots
of different things that you can do with prop money prop number four for better music videos
is weed smoking weed slow motion 60 frames 120 frames is dope it's dope as [ __ ] i feel like
almost any slow motion test that you look up on youtube should show someone blowing out some smoke
obviously it's up to the artists if they're with smoking if they want to be smoking maybe
the model you get a shot of her smoking even to just symbolize cold when someone does the
and you can see their breath smoke that's more like steam even that looks cool but
weed smoking weed prop 5 for better music videos is in camera effects and i've been using the
hell out of my glass splitter filter i'm not sure exactly what it's called but it's from
cinepax and i also have a link in the description for cinepax that you guys can use and you get
some sort of discount with my link or my coupon so make sure you check that out if you don't want to
spend money on an actual product that's made for doing these in-camera effects you can just use any
simple say like a glass drinking glass that you have at home as long as it's glass it could be a
candle case it could be a cup a coffee mug as long as it's clear glass and you just kind of hold it
up if this is the lens right here you know just kind of cover half of your screen move it in front
of it side by side up and down have some light hit it a certain way and it just gives it a dope look
it's one of my favorite looks that i've been trying to incorporate in more and more videos
as long as it makes sense you guys that's it for my five props let me know what other
videos or topics that you guys want me to do in the future by dropping a comment on this video
