Do you have the same thought with this person about SM Box MV ?

[Jinrii]

[I Am Youngjae]

Lol yes

[Ohsogrey]

Yes & No.  Dance version is always nice to have but it would also be nice to have more variation when it comes to SM MVs.

[GratedCheese]

They can always do MVs with dance outside of a box. Like Infinite's Destiny.

[versace]

there has to be balance, you can still watch your faves dancing in a geometric stage on music shows 4 times a week anyway

[Mandilinn]

No. It's lazy. SM just doesn't want to spend more money or creativity on making actual PVs.

[guava]

The box sets have never really bothered me. SM's speciality is performance and the box style showcases it better. They don't need anything elaborate, their mv's are already awesome so why pay for more expensive sets.

[ShawolSONEexo]

Lol yes

[Envied]

No, it comes off as cheap. They could have dance versions in places other than the SM Box

[popsugar]

Not really. The MVs can be much more creative and enjoyable without the dance included or spotlighted. It's not like there won't be constant dance performances during promo, concerts, etc.

[duhleenuh]

Sort of.

 

 

I personally think that they get too much hate for the "box" sets, and it's kind of written off as a half-assed gesture.

 

But if you really think about it, SM has all of these sets custom made. Look at all of those fucking lights going through some of their sets, look at those details. They definitely don't come cheap. You'll never see SM music video with a brick wall that you've seen in ten other music videos and you won't see an SM video with Flaxton Street.

 

The music videos, while they may not have a story, are very aesthetically pleasing in my opinion, and are just really nice to watch, like a moving picture. I do think that they could give a little more variety in their non-dancing shots, but I honestly don't dislike it as much as other people do. It seems like some people just think that just because someone else has a story, that it's a better music video. But let's be real: SM kind of sucks at making storyline videos, so I kind of prefer what they're doing now.

 

 

Honestly, I didn't see as many complaints about it as I do now until Simon and Martina complained about it. Which, you know, fine, it's their opinion, but I think it's kind of narrow-minded to look past the effort that goes into the sets and kind of sad that it seems like some people developed bandwagon opinions.

[Kozue]

am i the only one who watches a MV once and never again?

 

i still havent even watched the growl drama versions lol...

That aside they've done plenty of out of box MVs for many of their artists. Some a lot more than others, but still.

[SimSimi]

I don't mind performance-focused MVs, but do they have to look that shitty? A lot of companies/groups release MVs like that but they usually end up looking better than SM's.

[Gen_ki]

I love MVs that focus mostly on the dance.

[creampuff]

Never cared for MVs anyways. I would normally watch it once or twice. Live performance is where it's at.

[EXOSUS]

I love it

Only my awesome boys doing awesome choreo in awesome boxes, no girl

[popsugar]

Sort of.

Good point.

 

Although RPPP was disappointing to some because of Pink Tape's art film. I think people were expecting something along those lines, which could have been much more interesting.

[jonghyun]

Why do people like to throw the word 'cheap' around to describe the box MVs? 

 

I personally like them.

[lepidoptery]

But they have box MVs and dancing versions of those box MVs, don't they?  (ie. without the closeups and stuff.)  So apparently "fans" ask for (or receive) dance versions whether or not the real MV is in a box or not.  (As well as dance practices...)

[mika613]

Box MV's are alright in my opinion i thought it was kind of funny that suju-m danced inside an actual box during a performance yet it seemed cool tbh. 

[duhleenuh]

To be honest, I was one of those disappointed fans, lol.

 

What I liked about the art film was that they weren't trying to push some ridiculous story. It really was just an "art film" with mostly them just doing things that were visually interesting. Honestly, that's all I ask for in a music video if there's less of a focus on the dance performance aspect.

[J a y]

Yes & No.  Dance version is always nice to have but it would also be nice to have more variation when it comes to SM MVs.

[alm94]

I like SM is very performance oriented but their videos could be a lot more interesting. I think if they could change up how they shoot the non-dance parts, it would be nice.

I was, too T___T

 

Agreed. In f(x)'s case, I saw potential. I think SM is capable of bringing more creative ideas to the table, but the box MV is still a safe option that can be pleasing, and they probably are unwilling to go that far to change things. -__-
