Here's an interesting story. Media Molecule, developer of the powerful PlayStation 4 creation game Dreams, worked with music artist Noah Cyrus to make an original video for her song, 'July'. It's part of a Sony Collaboration series, in which the company's various branches come together to work on a joint project. In this case, the American singer-songwriter teamed up with the British studio to craft a music video entirely within Dreams. You can watch the result of this collaboration above.
Even though this is a thinly veiled bit of marketing fluff, it's a gorgeous video, and another testament to how versatile the game's tools are. Over on the PlayStation Blog, art director Kareem Ettouney explains in detail how the team made the video, and it's a very interesting read.
Apparently, the original plan was to merge live footage of Noah with elements made using the game, but because of the pandemic, Media Molecule pivoted to a video wholly made in-game. Not only did the team make the video itself in Dreams, it also used the title to make storyboards and concept art.
What do you think of this music video made in Dreams? Let us know in the comments section below.

Keep your flight sim and forza 5 Dreams is for the creators.
The weeping girl is bustin.
Never heard of her. Though it was a him b/c Noah. Nice song and video though.
How did you not write this article @get2sammyb it's so you? Unless you're busy making a YT vid about the vid. That would be a you thing too.
Good to see Noah finally landed the Ark and is throwing tunes together after posting the animals into Chester zoo.
That's really cool. Except for the Noah Cyrus part.
Gamers are too close minded and lazy to play dreams. They deserve sequel after sequel, not original ips

Miley Cyrus's (Hannah Montana) sister and Billy Ray Cyrus's (Achy Breaky Heart) daughter. Yeah, the Brits have royalty and us Yankees have the Hilton, Jenner, Kardashian, and Cyrus families.
@lacerz I read your comment as Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus' daughter and I was like - OK, yeah, that's a little messed up even for me. That might even be a little too messed up for Woody Allen.
Thanks for the info. I've actually seen episodes of that TV show they had together, and I know them from their music - Achy Breaky Heart, right? - but I didn't know he had another daughter or she had a sister. Wait, was she the kid sister in the show? When I said "episodes" I meant like 13 seconds of one flipping channels.
Omg I'm bawling that was ***** rad
@rjejr @lacerz I've pretty much seen every single Hannah Montana episode, except for the later seasons and movie.
Which is pretty funny since I still have yet to listen to any of her music outside of the show heh.
@KidBoruto For a second I thought Hanna Montana was the other Disney blonde, Hillary Duff in Lizzy McGuire, and I was very confused.
In fixing my confusion I did find out that Noah was on Hanna Montana as "girl with ice cream", so now I have that off my mind.
"Noah Cyrus ... Girl with ice cream"
