If you are one of those people who can dance like no one’s watching then your moves are welcome at an upcoming shoot for a music video.
Local musician Juan Barbosa is hoping that as many people as possible will come out on Sunday and dance the day away while he shoots his first music video for his song Got to Get it Back. People of all ages are invited to participate and video shooting time will be from noon to 9 p.m. at the old Art Space behind the Mill on Main across from River Mill Park.
Mark Boucher is the videographer and this will be the first video Barbosa’s had professionally produced.
A Facebook event page that has been created outlines the criteria for the video:
The video concept is based around a sci-fi / soul train mash up. Juan + Band show up at this unassuming space to shoot an audition tape. Once set up, they begin to play, only to get interrupted as another band (the scoundrels) show up and begin filming their own music video.
Not to be deterred, Juan + Band try to outplay the ridiculous antics of the second band as a flood of “fans” come into the space, turning it into a dance party.
With the song continuing, we cut back and forth between the two bands, and Juan and his band win the fans over.
The song ends, the scoundrels have been defeated and get face to face with Juan and band and then —
Cue the Sci-fi robot, entering the space causing mayhem and destruction as everyone runs for their lives!
What We Need From You:
Funky wardrobes and any ridiculous props you may want to bring. All ages welcome, professionals, fans, enthusiasts, whatever – no experience necessary!
Props and funk-inspired costumes are highly encouraged!
In terms of timing, we would need people to show up for 1 p.m. and be able to commit their time until 9 p.m.
Movie Magic
For those who have not been involved in a music video shoot before, this is process can be very tedious and time consuming. Yes, we will have fun, but it will also be a lot of what we call “hurry up and wait.” Meaning shoot one small section, then set up and shoot another.
Essentially, we shoot part of the song (10-20 seconds) at various angles, then if all goes well, move on to the next set up. This isn’t meant to scare you off – we always have a good time doing these.
Any other inquires can be directed to Juan Barbosa on Facebook.
