“BlackJack” music video

How Amine’s “BlackJack” music video is an homage to “School of Rock” and why his music videos compliment his songs so well 

Portland Rapper “Amine” has reached great acclaim through his array of impressive and eye-catching music videos. His string, quirky aesthetic can be seen throughout his songs and is well replicated in his videos, to the enjoyment of his fans and praise of his peers. The music video for his song “BlackJack” is no different as this video pays respect to one of his favourite films: “School of Rock”. The video shows Amine and an array of dancers in an American high school, affectionately named “School of Rap”, as he dances around the school in peculiar fashion we are able to see a strong sense of his humour while retaining a strong impression for his inspiration. 

One scene in the video stands out as it shows an auditorium full of different versions of himself. This was done through a visual effect known as “digital composition”, whereby various images are compiled together to make one shot that would ultimately impossible to make in real life. 

The great effort put into this video shows it as a passionate project for Amine and this did not go unnoticed as it was shared virally and was even commended by Jack Black himself, making the music video: “A great success”. Much like the work of director “Cole Bennet” Amine’s music videos are colorful and have a strong reliance on visual effects, a trend that seems to make such videos stand out and recieve praise from their audiences
