Song: Eyes of a Panther
Artist: Steel Panther
Steel Panther are a comedy-rock band who parody the rock music produced by the 'Glam' and 'Hair' Metal bands of the 1980s, and ironically celebrate over-the-top excessiveness of the infamous Sunset Strip on Hollywood Boulevard. We hoped to represent this kind of feel by using this song for our music video project. Such a video would require a large amount of performance, which would involve us all dressing as ridiculously stereotypical rock stars, lots of make up, big hair and spandex, and performing all of the classic rock star moves such as 'the windmill' and the 'duck walk'.
Together with this, we would include mock 'backstage footage' of the band indulging in typical past times and activities such as signing autographs, walking around with a large entourage, and writing new songs.
We would have to use lots of male gaze, as it applies to genre convention, and lots of low angle shots of the band, to highlight their superiority and status. Editing would be somewhat difficult as the song is so fast, yet it is not impossible.
