New Release: Ben Pearce "What I Might Do" Directed by James Copeman

You have to wonder what the casting call description said to produce the group of people that appear in the new video for "What I Might Do" by Ben Pearce. Directed by James Copeman, the video is set up as casting call montage in front of a white cyc that switches between a main shot and a grainy secondary shot that evokes the footage that is collected during these sorts of things for later reference. Each person we see dances to the song, and some have some extra props including hula hoops and some sort of metal underwear that can produce sparks with a power tool (this is briefly demonstrated).

The array of people we get (and their dancing) is truly bizarre, and there is thankfully no "dancing grandma" types - everyone here, including the guy in the suit, seems like they aren't there to surprise you with their dancing but more like they are there to show you their moves. We're happy to watch all the moves they've got.

The music video for "What I Might Do" was produced by Svana Gisla and Jacob Swan Hyam for Black Dog Films.
