Why I am researching Eric Prydz

Eric Prydz is a house artist similar to my own artist- PandamanUK.  I have decided to use him as a research artist due to his popularity and succes over the past few years. I believe that listening to his songs and watching his music video's will give me inspiration for my own video as the songs follow the same idea's. I believe that I can draw information from his video's that'll either make me want to move away from the type of music video's for house music, or bring me closer.

I will be looking at Prydz's most famous song- 

Call On Me (2004)

The music video for "Call on Me", directed by Huse Monfaradi, features an aerobics class of women wearing 1980s styled aerobics outfits performing sexually suggestive gym routines led by dancer and choreographer Deanne Berry, much to the enjoyment of the sole man in the group, played by Juan Pablo Di Pace.

Fundamentally, this song does not neccesarly match the lyrics, a trait that I do not want to use in my video. However I like the idea fact that the video encorporates two 'main' characters whom we follow a story of throughout the music video. I would like to have a main chracter in my music video so that the audiece can understand the video and the lyrics much better. However I would like to use other actors in my video, like Call On Me has so that the video does not look empty.
