so I'm doing a music video, 'It's So Nice to be Here With You'. It's a slow country style with that same repeating element/ lyric. It's a suprrise tho, because it is written from the persepctive of a dog as the singer, but it's not until the last quarter of the song where the listener realizes it's a dog from the lyrics.

SOoooo, what in the world do I do for most of the video until I introduce the lyrics/video about the dogs? I didn't think it was fitting to show couples together... I could just show clips of me playing the instruments... but there should be more to hold the viewer's interest until they reach the AHA! it's about dogs! point in the video. Like I said, it's kind of slow, so I don't want people watching 1 min of it and leaving it.

How about teasers (closups of nose, paws, whiskers, but not so you can figure out what they are)? And maybe some low-angle shots from a dog's perspective.
