Dancing in the Streets – Final Video
Behold! The final shoot for the viral video “Dancing in the Streets” is completed. Directed by Wes Side Studios to promote Oshawa on oshawaisawesome.com.
I’ll be the first to admit I look pretty ridiculous. In fact, we all kind of do. Only one guy could actually dance (the one with the crazy dance solo on the sidewalk). But this really was one of those opportunities to try something new, and I don’t regret it for a minute. I made a lot of new friends who I’m going to hang out with more now, and I’m in a semi-popular online video! Ever seen the movie “Yes Man”? Although a comedy, there is an important lesson to be learned in squeezing every last drop out of life and saying yes to new opportunities.
It’s also great to see a lot of people appreciating this positive light on Oshawa. Oshawa is usually under a lot of criticism, even by it’s own residents (even me, I can’t lie!) so it’s great to see a finished product like this with so much pride for the city.
