was this supposed to be amazing? it was damn awful just like the song, 808's AND HEARTBREAK is over!

Nice vid.

It wasn't AMAZING, but it was good.

I have to give credit to Hype Williams that in these dying days of music videos he's still trying to do grandiose videos. As the budgets for videos dwindle, he can still be like "hey! let's shoot in Hawaii and get those IMAX cameras for shots!" No one else is doing that.

Those shots in the IMAX/Dark Knight camera are incredibly impressive (or even, amazing*). Nice to see that the song with the most staying power from 808s got a video. I'm still crossing my fingers for a Kanye/Jeezy album to happen someday.


*sorry

Sadly, he's just trying. He's not making them. At least not with this one.

It's amazing, so amazing.

Oh, come on. Do you need to tell me that you see other videos nowadays do full screen shots ala The Dark Knight IMAX of Hawaii landscape?? I really don't think so. If you have a current example, then please point it my way.

You can not like the video, but you have to at least be impressed with his craft, especially in the confines of lower music video budgets.

Maybe if i actually had an IMAX screen to be wowed with...

I mean, it is impressive that he's using all these expensive things to film his videos (the shots of Hawaii are great.. for a promotional tourism video, perhaps), and I'm sure the quality of the video is amazing. But then again, who's gon' watch this on an IMAX Screen?

Let alone, TVs. Most people will YouTube the video, and in YouTube you can't really tell the difference between an IMAX video and a regular one.

good video, the pics posted days ago i thought were that amazing.

everything from this ERA SUCKS ASS!

Except for the album.

its alright

disappointing

What a wonderful video. The best from the 808s era by far.

Shame this peaked on the charts.

I wish he would have released "Welcome to Heartbreak" instead.... the video was already shot & imo it's the best on the album.

Welcome to heartbreak >>>> Amazing

I like the song but i cant lsiten to anything with jeezy on it dude ruins any track he croaks on.

The video itself is very dull.

Well, clearly no one outside of the owners of IMAX will be watching this on an IMAX screen. Unless they put this video on before IMAX movies, which they should!

However, it's like the feature on the The Dark Knight DVD's where you can see the scenes specifically shot with the IMAX camera, but obviously on your television. It, of course, doesn't have the same impact as it did while watching it on the big screen, but you can still see whether it is a 5' inch TV screen or much larger that there is a significant improvement in the quality of the shot. It's the exact same thing with this video. Even on a tiny iPod screen, you would be able to tell how nice the full-frame shots look.

There is no ****ing market for music videos anymore, and the fact that Hype did something different when most music video channels barely have video blocks anymore says that he still gives a ****.

You can't put this video on the same pedestal as "Vivrant Thing" or "Mo Money Mo Problems" or his Busta videos, because the budget isn't there anymore. The fact that labels still finance these things when they will mostly be seen on YouTube is, quite frankly, ridiculous.

This isn't the best video i've seen on a computer screen this year, but my argument is that you have to at least be impressed that Hype is sticking his neck out and still trying to do a Hype Williams video in 2009. Hype was given the song of "Amazin'" to make a video of, and he just shot it in one of the most beautiful places in the world, and with the most technical film cameras in the world. If that isn't Amazin' then I don't know what is.

^ The scenes do look great, but the video is just way too simple. Oh well.... im stoked for Paranoid now!

Ummm. :-/
