The Legoland Convention

last night i was riding on the skytrain after work, listening to music on my discman (i don't think i learn at that time of night, so the italian goes back in the case and the music comes out). and i think i have developed a pretty good music video for the song "hella good" by no doubt. i know they already have a video for it, but i think it would be fun to make, and an interesting take on the song. anyway, i am risking having some of my ideas stolen from me (i'm not worried about any of you who post or regularly read this blog, but those mysterious anybody's lurking on the internet) and letting you all know what this idea is.

basically it is just a montage of images of men and women, guys and girls, flirting with each other. the idea being that flirting is a dance and, by extension, that "courtship" or "dating" is a dance as well. and this is a dance that most people enjoy. even harmless flirting can make someone smile for an hour, but when between people with whom something might actually happen can make you feel as though you're dreaming. we would start out the video with general sweeping images, many different sets of people, and end up focusing on just a few of those couples. here are some examples of people we might see:

• a girl behind the counter of a coffee shop and a cute guy as a customer (!)
• a police officer and someone trying to get out of a ticket
• a guy and girl in high school talking by the lockers, holding their books
• random man and woman on the skytrain
• old man opening a door for a woman
• group of people, apparently friends, with a guy and a girl paying special attention to each other
• a guy and and girl playing video games together
• a couple on a date at a movie
• a man and a women eating dinner together

there would be a lot of smiles and hair touching, and other obvious and not so obvious flirting techniques.

that sort of thing, you get the idea. listen to the song to get the whole picture. it's fun.
