FLASH MOBS

FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS MOVIE

Pop culture became infused with flash mobs once popularity spiked, as movies and television shows found ways to incorporate the radical mass group dances. In Friends With Benefits, the flash mob ties together the entire romantic storyline with the beautiful mystical back drop of two NYC's most beloved and well known destinations. Another plus about FWB's usage of flash mobs? The ingenious GQ marketing design. I unfortunately couldn't find the video segment after prolonged searching, but in the movie, a TV screen is filled with a mass amount of ant like looking people, different colors, all dancing in a flash mob like motion until the people evaporate until they only make the shape of 'GQ' lettering on a solid white back drop. Eye catching, creative and technology infused.

 PROPOSAL

Second example, also tied to romance- a very unique proposal-boyfriend surprises girlfriend at 1:50 by jumping into the flash mob and joining along, dead center and by 2:50, pulling out a ring and proposing, 3:40 she says yes. A little shaky, certainly not professional but LOVE the idea

ORCHESTRA - BREATHTAKING.

The faces of all the bystanders, especially children, bewildered by the beauty. Musicians coming from all sides of the streets, congregating in the middle, all in response to one little girl dropping a coin in a hat.

1:34 goosebumps
3:09 my mouth drops open, re-occuring goosebumps
3:39 child shown having climbed on pole to get better view
3:58 the boyfriend motioning with his hands to his bewildered girlfriend
4:24 women lined up singing opera
4:40 little boy dancing and waving his arms overcome with excitement
4:55 picking up tempo dramatically to end- AMAZING.
