Music industry video producers create live action We Dance trailer

The guys who put music videos together for Franz Ferdinand and Depeche Mode have produced the first trailer for Nordic Games' We Dance.

The publisher collaborated with music industry luminaries Rob Chandler and Chris Brown to create a live action trailer in which the dancers are styled to match the game's stylised silhouette characters.

The full trailer can be viewed below and demonstrates the different control schemes of the dancing title, which is due for release on Wii on September 2nd.

"Before shooting the trailer we thought we dance ideas and were inspired by the avatars used on the packshot," said Rob Chandler. "Consequently we decided to create realistic figures in the launch video. This style of course related to moving images 'Silhouette' iconic others, so we set about creating our own unique take on it. "

Brown added: "" The day of filming, it was pre-mixed four songs together and made videos preview corresponding to the choreography of the game. The mix was played back to the dancers as we filmed multiple takes of each song; this gave us a wide variety of shots for the final edit.

"We also used a lot of in camera shaking techniques to connect the energy and movement of the dancers to the shots. This gave the footage a more human feel rather than adding it in afterwards.”

The release of the trailer coincide with the launch of a new website, www.wedance.com . The site will provide game information to consumers, including where they can pre-order the game.After the launch, it will allow players to upload and share their own videos in us.

It is interesting that the track has seen very diverse covers and remixes - on one hand, this particular dance and pop influenced remix is crafted for the dancefloor, while on the other hand this piece has been covered by Heavy Metal icon Marilyn Manson among others, presenting a great variety in the musical context of the song. This particular track comes from a recent release of remixed material, when browsing the sheer number of remixes available, it goes to show the great skill of the band and their sustained longevity.
