Did you wake up this morning feeling so polite? We did.
So what's the deal with all the, shall we say, flamboyancy?
Well, as with some ill-fated student in Texas during some semester of their highschool career, a 'Speech' class is mandatory. And with that, music video project arises! So, basically every year someone I'm fairly good friends with has, at some point, had to do a music video-and turned to us for help.
The past 2 years, I'ved worked on 3-4 of them, including my cinema submission "Eye of the Tiger"- and they've come out as solid, albeit bland, productions.
Well this year it was MY turn to step up to plate, along with 3 of my friends taking the class also. We knew we had to do something special with this project, so we set off to work, and almost immediately we all knew what was necessary....
The product was "Afternoon Delight".
The rules:
-Must be over 2 minutes but under 5
-Must include 4 members of the class
-All members must lip sync thoroughly and visibly
-No suggestive actions or language allowed
-5 school days timeframe to finish the entire video
-Video must coincide with lyrics of the song
Another note to take into consideration is that during the time in which all of us could film together, it began to rain heavily and therefore all of the outdoor shots/scenes faced a few complications:
-We had to sing a cappella
-Some lines were lost during filming
Despite stretching the parameters of "suggestive", we are overall happy with how it came out.
Enjoy!

Haha. Thanks. That's so true, too.

Watching it with no sound was interesting. At the 25 second point I was beyond ready for it to end, but for me that's a problem with all music videos. If I came across anybody acting in public like those boys do, I'd call the guys in white coats. See, children, the lasting effects of Ritalin?
