Outkast “Hey Ya ” Music Video
Money Shots - compositing

Mark Devlin was one of a team of artists, led by Money Shots Creative Director Elad Offer, who seamlessly combined all eight characters played by Andre 3000 onto one stage.

The song's music video, directed by Bryan Barber, is based on The Beatles' landmark appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show on February 9, 1964. In the video, André 3000 plays eight members of The Love Below: keyboardist Benjamin Andre, bassist Possum Jenkins, vocalist Ice Cold 3000, drummer Dookie Blasingame, three backing vocalists The Love Haters, and guitarist Johnny Vulture. One of the shots Mark was resposible for compositing was when André 3000 instructs to "shake it like a Polaroid picture", in which some of the girls begin taking pictures and shaking them in the air.

At the 2004 MTV Video Music Awards, the video won four awards for Video of the Year, Best Hip-Hop Video, Best Special Effects, and Best Art Direction. "Hey Ya!" was nominated for Best Short Form Music Video at the 46th Grammy Awards.

In 2006, Stylus Magazine listed it at number seventy-two on its "Top 100 Music Videos of All Time"
