Firstly to do this they will need to have decent equipment including a camera and a tripod which is mandatory or the video will never be professional. An example of a well executed Music Video is Care Bears on Fire "Barbie eat a sandwich". This video has come to shown the creativity used within the video to make it professional. They have used stop animation to make it look very interesting and appealing. An example where their creativity is very good is at 0:08 where the woman on the magazine starts to walk out of her place. This shows that the artist has had freedom creating the music video and has no limits to what they create.
