Project Pitch

The music track we are pitching for is Paid to Get Excited by Butch Walker.

Our music video will consist of a band, comprised entirely of a green screen compilation of Stuart, playing in front of various added scenes, related to the lyrics of the song. During the course of the video, the costumes of the band members will change between various parodies of musicians.


The video opens with Stuart dimly illuminated, until the lyrics begin, floodlights illuminate him and his scene. The first scene we plan to be a desert scene inspired by Vertigo by U2. As the scene progresses to the chorus, the sun will rise and we'll transition to the next scene at the end of this scene.

Vertigo is a example of a band performance in a novel environment with various effects.

Rick Astley's video gave us the idea to have Stuart as every member of the band, as in the video various parts are played by Astley, such as singer, drummer and cameraman.

The song "I disappear" by Metallica is an inspiration towards our project - mostly inspiration for the desert scene, however.

This picture shows an idea we had for the backdrop of the second verse, as it is the UN Headquarters, and lyrics in this verse talk about a peace sign.

For the final verse we intend to picture the band in Vegas as the day ends. As the light dims, he is left lit by floodlights once more until the song ends and it is abruptly turned off after the song ends.
