Having mulled over the track for a few days, I still haven't decided upon an idea that I am completely. Unfortunately, due to the tight turnaround on this project I'm going to have to run with my 'dancer in front of green screen' idea.
The main concept of the idea was to have someone dancing on a stage (green screen) with a pixel grid behind. The pixel grid will be fairly easy to get to time with the music using the key-frame assistant in Adobe After Effects I will then map this onto a card in nuke for the final comp.
I recently also helped provide technical services for a circus performance, within which there were several hula hoopists. This has inspired me to change the dancing to hula hooping. One of the girls doing the hula hooping at the circus event was Charlie Ledger, who intend to contact to try and organise a filming session.
I am thinking of trying to get Charlie to dance WITHOUT a hoop in order to allow me more flexibility when it comes to creating a CG hula hoop.

Initial Response
Well, the brief for the second project has been released. We have to produce a music video for a audio track. We were encouraged to use the node based composition software. I was excited about this project as I have already produced a couple of music videos for real clients. Unfortunately, upon listening to the track I drew a blank. In my opinion, the track isn't great... and is defiantly not the type of track I would have taken on if they had approached me. The track had no narrative, no lyrics and because we hadn't been introduced to the client, I wasn't able to ask them about the track and try and discover a hidden message to work around. I am going to mull it over for a few days but at the moment my only though is 'IPOD ADVERT'
