Casting Call for Music Video
Posted by Beko in Blog, News, video | May 5th, 2010
Date: SATURDAY, MAY 22
Time: 10A (music scene) or 4PM (club scene)
Location: ENGINE 11 FIREHOUSE TAVERN, 30 North Ave. NE (next to North Ave Marta Station)
Please save the date for this exciting music video opportunity! Beat Studies has recorded a song that blends the genres of hip-hop and swing in the hottest of manners. The next logical step is to recreate that vibe in the form of a music video. It takes place in an early 1930’s style venue with some subtle modern touches.
Flux, SIMP, and Q-San are the artists. They came by and tracked their verses last week and they are FANTASTIC! Mike Moore and his crew at Studio 8 are doing the production so you already know it’s going to look professional. Atlanta’s Burn Unit and Down South Swing are the dancers The blending of their distinct styles on the floor is going to be monumental. G.P.W.F.L.Y. is to act as the band. Now all we need is the cool kitties and finger poppin’ daddies to come out and fill the club. 2 dollar beers and 4 dollar cocktails will be available!
We are asking everybody to dress in something that could be considered “period attire”, but with this aforementioned modern touch. We have attached some photos as examples. Draw influences from the likes of Janelle Monae and Andre Benjamin, while showcasing your own personal style. Think “Idlewild” meets “The Sartorialist”.
There will be 2 distinct scenes we need extras for: the music scene at 10am (dancers, band & emcees) and the club scene at 4pm. Please RSVP via email to beko@beatstudies.com or leave a comment here to confirm your time slot and availability. Space is limited.
Please come show your love and get some face time on the camera for this video that is going to go completely VIRAL!
