Hi-Res Flash (http://33post.com/pages/whatchu_want.html)
Lo-Res YouTube (http://youtube.com/watch?v=sHUoG4fOb9E)
The project contains live footage of The Notorious B.I.G. performing a freestyle of "What Ya Want" in a Brooklyn park back in 1993 [live performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4V3MAZsYn1o] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4V3MAZsYn1o%5D). The video was stabilized and then rotoscoped. That animation was then treated and sunk up to the vocal of the studio track "Whatchu Want" off the Biggie album Duets. The original album cut contains another verse from Biggie as well as a verse from Jay-Z. Also added to the song was an intro off Biggie talking on the phone in the studio back in 1995.
The animation was then paired with a Time Square-ish location. The idea for the background was to simulate a city powered by the base line of the beat, rising and falling to the beat. Screens on the buildings display a combination of music driven imagery, lyrics, the original live performance, and clips from videos Biggie appeared in. The background was all built in Adobe After Effects.
