Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood (Official Video)

The official music video for the Gorillaz song Clint Eastwood, lead single of the self-titled album Gorillaz. It was released on 5 March 2001 along with the single itself and was produced and animated by film production company Passion Pictures.

Synopsis[]

Gorillaz is performing or rehearsing in the graveyard next to Kong Studios when suddenly Del Tha Ghost Rapper escapes out of Russel's head and raps about the illusion of life. Next, zombie gorillas rise from the dead and start to chase Murdoc around the graveyard while Del is rapping. Noodle was joyfully skipping along and then delivers a hard kick to one of the zombie gorillas in the face. When the morning comes though, the zombies gorillas turn into dust, and Del goes back into Russel's head, leaving Gorillaz stunned over the course of events.

Notes[]

The music video's audio and overall resolution has been remastered and entirely improved from the original upload that was on the band's official YouTube channel.

The original video, uploaded to Parlophone Records' channel, has been unlisted, but Vimeo has kept it up.

Animatic[]

Other than the unfinished drawings and animations from the animatic, it doesn't have many notable differences from the final version of the music video. The only two notable ones are the scene where Murdoc kicks a zombie gorilla in the face being replaced by multiple of them rising from the ground up and the largely different character cards.

The storyboard also features a deleted scene at the end, where the director for the music video, a man wearing stereotypical French clothing, shows up and starts talking to the band members about the shooting, angering Murdoc who smashes his bass guitar on the director's head.

Commentary[]

On the 8th of April 2022, a commentary edition of the music video by band member Murdoc Niccals was posted to Gorillaz' official YouTube channel, as part of a series of commentaries on some of the band's music videos.
