Making the Video

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Making the Video is an MTV show, consisting of half-hour episodes, which chronicles the process of filming various music videos. Usually the director outlines the concept of the video (or treatment) and the show often includes light-hearted and humorous moments. It always concludes with a premiere of the finished video. The show premiered on July 11, 1999 and new episodes still air to this day. MTV2 has a similar show entitled [Name of Band/Artist] Makes A Video that has featured artists such as Fall Out Boy, Dashboard Confessional, Evanescence, and Mos Def among others.

The credits for Making The Video episodes shows those similar to what they often show on MTV. ...Makes a Video credits contain a yellow bar on the bottom left of the screen giving only the title and artist name, and on the most rare of occasions, the video director. If a video contains too many of, or a not very famous, guest appearance, it usually may not display who it features. In fact sometimes, it may not even display an info bar at all at times.

Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera have had more videos featuring on this show than any other artist. Both have had the making of eight videos chronicled by MTV's cameras (though three of Agulera's were collaborative videos with other artists). However, due to Christina Aguilera's recent collaboration with Diddy, she currently holds the sole record of nine videos.
