"Money For Nothing" was written by the British rock band "Dire Straits" in 1985 from their hit album "Brothers in Arms". The iconic music video for "Money For Nothing" was one of the first to feature computer generated animation. The animation was created in an early programme called Paintbox. The animated characters in the video were intended to obtain more detail such as buttons on their shirts but the budget for the music video was used up, resulting in the music video that stands today for "Money For Nothing". The masterpiece won Best Video in the 1986 MTV Music Awards and is historical for it's effect and impact on music videos since it's release. Personally, the music video looks visually ahead of it's time as it obtains stunning use of colours and visual effects both on the band in the video and the animated characters. This music video is a great example on how music videos are essential for people to remember songs and gain popularity for the band.
