VIRAL VIDEO CONCEPT: A live performance viral video that is vocally emotional and heartfelt. Set inside of an archetypal Spanish catholic church, the room will be lit with candles and neon lights. Coco will be seen singing at the alter in a red flamenco dress with an 8-16 piece choir of all ages and races accompanying her, with their voices resonating off of the walls. Keeping with the Spanish theme, complementing the singers will be two flamenco guitar players. The repertoire of this performance will be Quadron’s “Avalanche” and one cover song.
VISUAL: The combination of passionate vocals and powerful visuals is what makes the video virally potent. The well-trained choir behind Coco will be people of all race, age and gender. Visual inspirations include Madonna’s ‘Like A Prayer’ and ‘Romeo and Juliet’ by Baz Luhrmann. ‘Like A Prayer’ by Madonna http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lA983t3Rdzs

FAVORITE STAR: THE MUSIC VIDEO CONCEPT: A fierce, sexy, and powerful 70’s inspired music video consisting entirely of dance choreography. Set in an empty rehearsal room with the main visual attractions coming from the changes in lighting and the dance choreography. With big curly hair and in disco-esc platforms Coco will be the main entity supported by a group of professional male dancers. Defying traditional gender roles, the males will be outfitted in pants and red lipstick, with their movements accompanying Coco’s in a feminine manor.
VISUAL: Like true divas before her, the video will be as powerful as a Beyoncé performance yet as sensual as an early Diana Ross performance. The diva Coco will be supported by a group of men like in past Madonna videos; such as ‘Vogue’ and ‘Material Girl,’ it will be as if she is the only female in the world. ‘Vogue’ by Madonna http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuJQSAiODqI ‘Material Girl’ by Madonna http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNSUOFgj97M
LIGHTING, LOCATION & FILMING: Shot in Denmark in a very simple and bare dance room. There will be many lighting changes (laser/backdrop/flashing) for a more powerful and energy filled performance. Similar to single location dance choreography videos such as; ‘Single Ladies’ by Beyoncé: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4m1EFMoRFvY ‘Tell Your Girlfriend’ by Robyn: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6ImxY6hnfA E.g.
