Flying into January we’re all incredibly excited with all the experiences we have coming up in 2012. With the phone ringing off the hook, it’s set to be a busy one! That being said, it’s always good to look back on past groups and remember how we ended 2011; with a bang!
We’re all pleased as punch to have some more great feedback from one of our corporate Christmas parties. An original song choice; George Michael’s ‘Freedom’, and a fantastic Go-popvideo to match, here’s what the people from John Doe had to say:
“We’ve all just had a great time watching the video!! Everyone’s really happy with it – it looks amazing!Thank you so much – and please thank the team on our behalf”
The proof really is in the pudding with this Go-popvideo! We all had a brilliant time on set, and it was a cracking group to work with! So a big Thank you to John Doe too! And here’s hoping this year is set to be even bigger and better than the last! A Happy New Year to all!

Just because it isn’t Halloween, doesn’t mean you can’t get your Thriller on! We’ve just had another incredible corporate Christmas event in London; this time, a tribute to the King of Pop Michael Jackson. With chilling make-up, fantastic choreography and a great group effort, we cannot wait to see the finished product!
Here’s what the people from Packer Forbes had to say: “Just wanted to say thanks for a fabulous afternoon last week. The girls said that this year was the best xmas party we’ve ever had and that was down to the fantastic event you and your team put on for us!”
We must say, with so many exciting events happening this season, it really is putting us in a jolly good mood for Christmas! Why not pop along to our Facebook page and check out some of the behind-the-scenes pics?!

As another weekend passes on the countdown to Christmas, we’ve had another fantastic event! A Go-popvideo team build in London got very festive on us; picking the iconic Mariah Carey ‘All I want For Christmas Is You’ to celebrate to. With 27 people to cater for, we knew it would be a busy event!
…Costumes, accessories and make-up at the ready, the group looked fabulous, and were ready for their close-ups!
Jo from Essentially had this to say: ”A HUGE thank you to you and the entire team for a fantastic day on Friday, our boss said it was the best team building/day out!…That we have ever done in 9 years!!! Thank you for looking after us all so well and putting up with us! Looking forward to seeing the video … ”
With such fun had, we are all looking forward to the upcoming corporate events, combined with the winter festivities!

With Halloween just passed, Go-experience has been in-undated with Go-dance Thriller requests. None of these has been more exciting than one that took place in Glasgow on Wednesday 26th October. Tullochan; a fantastic charity that supports young carers asked us to deliver two, back-to-back events as a well earned treat for 32 of their children. With full make-up, costumes and a killer routine, we can’t wait to see some grisly pics!!

It’s not always possible (if it’s a surprise on the day, for instance) but we try and encourage our groups to learn their lines before turning up for the shoot. The more confident our lead is with the words, the more engaging and powerful the video will be. Our best performances come from people who know the words off by heart – whether this be something fairly simple like Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, or the result of having put in a little more effort. We once had a bride who knew every single word to Sir Mix A Lot’s Baby Got Back. The whole thing. Even the spoken word intro and the bits about Jane Fonda and Cosmo. It was pretty awesome.
But it’s not just the lead who needs to brush up – some videos are made by the backing vocals. Think of I Gotta Feeling, with different lines being sung by different group members, or Groove Is In The Heart, with Bootsy Collins chiming in, and you can see how this might work. Biology is another great one for group vocals, as are a lot of boy and girl bands.
If the song choice isn’t a surprise we’ll always send out the lyrics, so Google the song, have a read along as you listen to the track, and on the day you can focus all your attention on the performance. Once you get to the studio, the key to great lip-synching is overemphasis. It may seem weird to move your mouth around so much, but the bigger and bolder your movements (within reason!) the better they will register on camera. Connecting with the camera is also important – try to think about the attitude of the song. For instance, if you’re singing “I Hate You So Much Right Now”, make sure the camera sees the rage. But if you’re telling the audience to “loosen up my buttons, baby”, seduce the camera for all you’re worth…
