1 Welcome to Bonnie Story s Music Video Workshop brought to you by Hollywood Connection. Some of the main goals for this experience of shooting a music video are the following: 1. We want to familiarize the artists being filmed as an actor/dancer. 2. We want to teach the etiquette of being on a production set. 3. We want them experience the fun and creative process of being filmed and being part of a film production. 4. They will be learning on the spot acting scenes and choreography to be shot immediately, just like the real experience. 5. The parents will be invited to watch this process. They will be at a designated place on set, where they can still see, watch and learn but not interfere with the process. 6. Each music video will be shot in 4 hours. The artists within each group (Super Stars & Co Stars, Guest Stars, and Producers) will be divided up for smaller scenes. We will shoot three separate videos. ***NEW THIS YEAR***Each participant will receive a DIGITAL DOWNLOAD of the their video. The link to the download will be sent by We want to provide a safe, fun, non stressful atmosphere for their first experience on camera. 8. Age groups for videos may be combined based on enrollment. 9. Every participant must sign a release form. We are very excited for the artists to have this experience. We have filmed kids in music videos to give them this learning opportunity, and a lot of them ended up auditioning and being on set for a major movie. So many have said how much the first experience helped prepare them for the film that they were able dance and act in. We look forward to seeing and working with the amazing talent that we have picked for this opportunity. It is going to be a blast. For questions, please call the Hollywood Connection office at Sincerely, Bonnie Story
