We've recently gotten a steadicam shoulder rig for the camera that we're planning to use. We're also planning to use a glide cam if it is available. These would allow us to pull of the "single-take" effect we had discussed, if we do end up going with that idea.
An idea that one of us had is that we go to Shotover (a local woods), and at different beats someone pops out from behind a tree. Those people would be a variation of the same character, so that by the end of the video there would be multiple versions of the same person dancing to the music.
Another idea we had is that someone gradually gets more clothes on him whilst we watch him walk. On different beats a new item of clothing appears on him. It was suggested that we purposely incorporate continuity errors, as this would add comedic effect. It would also reflect the amateur look of many of Vulfpeck's videos.
FINAL IDEA:
Expanding on the clothes idea, we thought we would have the main character planning for a fashion show or something else circled on a calendar. The video would show the character planning his outfits for the show as well as his normal daily routine. As the song continues and the big day gets closer and closer the character's outfits and daily routines get more and more ridiculous. By the end of the video, the character will be wearing a ridiculous amount of clothes only to find out he was using last year's calendar.
We feel that this ridiculous idea would reflect the comical nature of many funk videos, while also being original in its own way. It follows a narrative that makes little sense too, like many funk music videos.
