As well as being a great, fun experience, this is also an excellent way to use corporate music sessions to tackle real business team dynamic problems that are disruptive in the workplace.
Just as a new product, service or project of any kind would start in the boardroom with brainstorming before key decisions are made and then serious planning takes place leading up to design, implementation and launch of the final product, the rock band music video will follow the same pattern.
Here each rock band team member needs to understand their role within the team in order to work together and make the most of their combined creative output. Their wildest, most exciting ideas will be encouraged, but then reality and logistics will be carefully considered as they will need to actually produce this within the limitations of time, budget, and resources.
Video narrative and content can be left open or can follow strict guidelines which might be related to the company or even a specific forthcoming project.
The possibilities are expansive but which team will produce the best video and follow the brief?
The end result will be captured and professionally edited which the team keep as a memento to create enduring memories from this positive shared experience.
Recreate a Famous Music Video
We can select the famous song together with you so it creates the right message. We can run this as a seasonal experience (such as the Christmas video below) or to fit a specific theme for your team.
Excellent songs to recreate include the Band Aid Christmas single ‘Do they know it’s Christmas’ with Duran Duran, Sting, Phil Collins, et al; as well as Lou Reed’s collaborative version of ‘Perfect Day’ with the likes of Elton John, Heather Small and Bono featuring.
As these are big group videos, and also very famous iconic works, they lend themselves very well to this event.
This session begins by splitting into sub teams, each tasked with re-writing the lyrics for specific parts of the song. This is where it starts to come to life and become very personal to that group.
They then need to think about the logistics of filming their ideas and liaise with the film crew to see what is possible.
Next up they need to rehearse the filming of their section to make sure it is slick.
They are then ready to get the cameras rolling and commit it to film.
Once all the sub groups are filmed, we film the big ensemble scenes that involve the whole team. It is hilarious, chaotic and intensely unique to the team.
We then edit the video and deliver it back to you for the premier screening!
