Fandom: Happy Feet
Music: Rock This Party by Bob Sinclair
File Size: HQ AVI (60 meg ZIPPED XviD)
iMeem Stream: misteranderson.imeem.com/video/SrFlJBsw/every_penguin_dance_now/
Description: This vid about the all-singing, all-dancing penguins from Happy Feet was the 1st of three Club Vivid 2007 dancey vids I made this year, and its also my favourite of the three.
"Rock This Party" got some pretty high rotation on radio around the end of 2006 in Australia, sampling a guilty pleasure from my nightclubbing nights in the nineties - "Gonna Make you Sweat/Everybody Dance Now" by C&C Music Factory. And I still don't know what possessed me to make a vid to Happy Feet for it, but Im glad it I did because it turned out far better that even I thought it would. I also don't remember what possessed me to barstardize the MTV logo for my own evil purposes, but I think its going to appear on every dancey type vid I make from now on.
Perhaps crazier was the attempt at lip-sync (or beak-sync in this case) of which there is a lot - the whole song isn't synced but the majority of it is. In a lot of cases the beak is either open or shut, which made life a bit easier & although its not 100% perfect, the physical performances of the penguins singing the lines helped immeasuarbly to sell the illusion they were singing the words. And while Lovelace, Mumble & Ramon share the male parts of the song...only Gloria does the female section, so there was some continuity there.

Fandom: Austin Powers (1, 2 & 3)
Music: Sunshine of Your Love by Cream vs The Hoxtons
File Size: HQ AVI (50 meg ZIPPED XviD)

Description: Everyones favourite shagadelic super-spy Austin Powers features in my 2nd Club Vivid for 2007. And when I heard this remixed version of "Sunshine of Your Love", it instantly seemed like a perfect match for the womanizing International Man of Mystery. Very 60's mixed with a modern day dance beat.
This vid essentially just chronicles just how good the man with the bad teeth & huge glasses is at getting the ladies, his 'pulling power' simply cannot be denied or resisted. I had a lot of fun editing this one & it was pretty easy on the eyes with all the starlets that have appeared in the 3 movies. In fact I nearly ran out of women, and ended up using the "Beautiful Stranger" footage from the Madonna filmclip (as he never really gets it on with Beyonce in Goldmember).
The swirling heart effect that appears twice in the vid is from Hollywood FX 6.0, and is nothing more than a simple drag & drop transition. Im not one to usually use these sorts of "Mickey Mouse" type effects in my vids, but the rising section of music it accompanies & the fact that it fits in so well with the theme made it impossible to pass up.
Does this vid make you horny, baby?
DOES IT? YEAH, BABY YEAH!!!

Fandom: Zoolander
Music: Flawless by The Ones
File Size: HQ AVI (45 meg ZIPPED XviD)
iMeem Stream: misteranderson.imeem.com/video/WTInUc8j/just_like_perfection/
Description: A vid about the worlds most beautiful male model rounded out the trilogy of dancey numbers I made for Club Vivid 2007. Its probably my least favourite of the three & actually didn't get as much attention in the editing department compared to the other two, but it still came together fairly well.
There is little point to this vid other than having Derek Zoolander poncing about looking good. I think if he had to... he would probably describe himself as: Just Like Perfection...it seems like a typically air-headed thing he might say. "Flawless" is probably the ultimate 'modelling' song just behind "Im Too Sexy" & so it was always going to be a perfect fit for this reasonably under-appreciated movie.
Definately my favourite part of the film is the gas station sequence, which had me howling with laughter when the idiot models started dousing themselves with petrol...and so I just couldn't leave it out. If you like all things Zoolander, then this little vid should be right up your catwalk.
