Make My Video is a video game series , all produced by Digital Pictures for Sega Mega-CD in 1992 , and consisting of three official FMV games and one unofficial title. The game series was a flop for Digital Pictures.
History of origin
The game series actually begins with the video game Power Factory Featuring C + C Music Factory from 1992, in which the music group C + C Music Factory appears and commentates on the music videos created by the players . This gave rise to the idea of making a video game series that was also published in 1992 using the copy and paste process.
Gameplay
In the game, the player is asked to produce a music video in which certain scenes or effects must be present. He has the opportunity to choose from three different songs per game, these should be put together according to the wishes of certain actors such as a boxer or the parents of the main actors during the duration of the song.
To do this, he can choose between three different scenes that run below the main video and can be selected with the A, B or C buttons. In addition, effects such as lyrics, mixers or the tinting of the videos with the colors red, green and blue can be switched on. The game's scenes are taken from the actual music video or from public domain films like The Phantom of the Opera .
Power Factory Featuring C + C Music Factory
The first video game Power Factory Featuring C + C Music Factory was the trigger for the video game series, but is not directly part of the Make My Video series. The video scenes for the game were directed by Chris Painter . The main characters were Phil LaMarr and Eugene Lamont Johnson .
The game played in the Power Factory where Dwayne and Franklin work and produce music videos on an assembly line. Her boss forces her to produce over 1,000 music videos a day, and the player is supposed to support her as a new employee in her work. If the player fails to meet the conditions, Dwayne and Franklin will be punished for the mistakes or David Cole and Robert Clivillés from C + C Music Factory will rate the videos poorly.
The player could choose between the music videos Gonna Make You Sweat , Things That Make You Go Hmmm ... and Here We Go Let's Rock & Roll .
