As you know, we are always looking at new and innovative ideas to have fun and raise money, so we are thinking a music video and we can’t wait to see you there!!
We have invited the team from Music Wedding Videos (normally they do weddings) to make a video of everyone enjoying their day, singing, dancing and generally having a great time to ‘Got My Mind Set On you’ by George Harrison.
Here is the song we’ve chosen for you to get familiar with …
How this works is, you guys will be equipped with printed lyrics and your camera phones; they’ll be looking for volunteers to sing along to a couple of lines from the track on camera. They’ll then turn the footage into a music video of the party. You could do anything you want including props, swanky dance moves or quirky ideas, and they will edit it all together to get everyone involved.
You’ll have a few go’s at getting it right, and they’re pretty good at editing to make you look awesome. Your singing voice doesn’t matter either because they’re not going to use the audio – the real song will be played over the video footage of you singing along.
The lyrics are included at the bottom of the page
How up for it are you?
Mad for it!
OK, so you fancy yourself as a bit of a performer or a pop-star in another life?
Here’s what you can do:
- Watch the video
- Learn the lyrics
- Practice in front of the mirror
- Choreograph a dance routine
- Get together with some like-minded guests to do something as a group
We are looking for people to (willingly) come forward beforehand to be given specific lines to learn, and we will then forward everyone their own lyrics to perfect 🙂 If any of you do want to perform something special, please let us know or contact the MWV guys at info@musicweddingvideos.com so they can plan it into the shoot.
Happy to get involved on the day
Here’s what we recommend:
- Watch the video
- Try to learn at least one or two lines from the song
- Send an email to say smaller line(s)
A little bit camera-shy
We realise some people either don’t feel super comfortable in front of cameras, especially video cameras. Don’t worry – the MWV guys are very sensitive to this and won’t force you to get involved if you don’t feel comfortable. But if it’s not too painful, we do hope you can at least give us a smile or a wave so that we can remember you on our special video. And remember – if it’s your singing voice you’re worried about, they don’t actually use that in the final video – you’re just miming along to the real song. Here’s what we recommend:
- Don’t worry too much about learning the lyrics
- Give us a wave or smile so you are at least involved.
We think this is a really fun way to record and re-live these awesome times.
Still not sure how this works?
Here are a couple of examples of a finished video from previous weddings once they have been edited and effects have been put on…
So……..
- Glamorous company – Check
- Beautiful Locations – Check
- Awesome dancing and singing – that’s where you come in
Let’s make this a fundraiser video to remember!
Love
The management
PS Remember, if anyone wants to do anything specific then please contact Kev at Music Wedding Videos at kev.bagnall@musicweddingvideos.com by Friday 29th May to be assigned your lines.
