Our revised concept for this video includes an elaborate graphic stage that is the centerpiece of Ricky's performance. This awesome design will electrify and enhance Ricky's energetic performance.

Right from the very opening, the video will explode out of the gate. . . With a staccato burst of stage lights and fanfare, we open on an outdoor venue. Under the summer nighttime sky, from the first beats of the music, we see a giant video screen on our set that projects Ricky videotaping a beautiful female shaking her Bon-Bon for Ricky, putting her hand over the lens. . .the screen goes black.

As our screen goes black it starts to separate, splitting apart to reveal a piercing black light blinding the audience to reveal our wall of cut out geometric shapes containing dancers and possibly musicians with Ricky in the middle. (Please see visual references of the stage.) As Ricky moves from one spot to the next light effects accentuate his dance moves under him, and illuminate around and behind him rhythmically to the music.

Ricky walks out in from of the crowd of thousands. Behind him, up on a raised vertical platform, is an enormous stage. Designed and constructed in a futuristic grid like style, shape will be occupied with a dancer. While some of these squares are completely visible, some will be silhouettes behind a light-box style fabric.

Capturing Ricky from every angle, he launches into an electrifying performance while this vertical backdrop behind him flashes like a slot machine that's hit the jackpot. . . Using high impact stage lighting, we are drawn into Ricky's dynamic , high energy performance.

The individual panels of the set alternate at random between gyrating dancers and carefully choreographed images of Ricky in performance. Ricky jumps onto an elevator unit that lights up, which takes him down to the lowest level platform 1 of our set, performing among the screaming crowd. Our camera pushes in on a background screen, and we are seamlessly transported. . . Around the world in a day. . .

To a Spanish town. . . Where Ricky is the "desperado" under a lovely senorita's window. As he serenades her, the sleepy, little pueblo wakes up into a wild, rocking fiesta. . Cut to: dancing hip to hip with his beautiful senorita, she shakes her Latin fandango 'Bon-Bon' a little too hard and bounce Ricky right out of the frame and in an animated seamless transition, we are suddenly in. . .

The Sahara. . . Where it's midnight in the oasis, gorgeous harem girls like veiled mataharis will be belly dancing, slow and easy. Ricky's hip checked transition from the Spanish town suddenly kicks him into frame and takes over the tempo like the onset of a desert storm. . . As Ricky addresses the camera with his charm and unique energy, our belly dancers choreography takes on the familiar "Bon Bon" dance, moving their Arabesque bodies to this uncontrolled beat around him.

As this imagery is projected like a silent movie on our screens, two Middle Eastern like dancers emerge from a basket in the center of the furthest downstage area platform 2 Ricky jumps on the center conveyer which now takes him to platform 2. Ricky again is surrounded by his audience.

The Himalayas. . . Where the girls are lined up, like a procession of Asian deity statues, barely moving as they dance their slow native temple dance. Ricky's magical energy shakes up their quiet Himalayan world as the women spring to life, shaking their hot, sultry bodies to our sexy choreography.

When the camera pulls out of this fantastical environment, we again are magically transported back in the live arena where Ricky's performance and electric wall of dancers and musician's has the crowd crazy! Looking at this vivid, hot wall of dancers, it is the "Temple of Desire" luring us in as the camera pushes in on a screen and again, magically we are in. . .

During the breakdown, from the four corners of the circular stage emerge four "Bond" type ladies are towering on metallic poles holding video cameras. Now Ricky is surrounded and being video taped, as roles are reversed, from our opening sequence. These video images appear on our video screens as if it is live. As our ladies slide down their poles, the poles retract into the audience. . . Our adoring crowd reacts as they are now being recorded by our video girls and projected on the screens like a huge sporting event!

Without missing a beat, Ricky continues back to platform 1, as he jumps onto the conveyer which takes him upstage where everyone and everything is illuminated on our vertical wall.

We are back on the live stage where we see Ricky's image projected on one of the geometric screens. When the camera pushes in on a projection square, we're looking at a simulcasted image of Ricky's performance, and when the trumpet solo gets going, in another seamless optical-effect transition, the camera pulls out and we are suddenly. . .

Driving down Broadway looking up at Times Square at the Sony electronic billboard with Ricky's same image in performance bumper to bumper, with yellow taxis, all blaring "Shake Your Bon Bon" on their radios, a group of girls jump on the rooftops of the cabs and continue this worldwide groove. We magically push into the Sony screen and again are transported back to our live performance stage. . . In this same groove we can utilize another international icon, the hands of Big Ben as it quickly ticks away a 24 hour period counting down to the new millennium. Again in an animated graphic style using the worldwide appeal of this dance.

With all this charm, energy and sex-appeal, Ricky rocks each magical location. We refine our imaginative transitions into our worldly vignettes, always bringing him back to the live performance and the huge energy being projected from the crowd. Ricky might catch a sheer silk scarf thrown at him by a girl from the audience and when he spins around he's lifting the sheer silk veil off a "matahara's" face in the Sahara.

The last image we see is the giant video screen closing to cover Ricky, on it we see a close up of a video camera, isolated on a chair. We cut to the camera's P.O.V. and the two distant figures in silhouette moving, shaking their Bon Bons together. . . At that final moment a low battery icon flashes on the screen as we go black. . . The audience erupts. . .

Ricky's continuous magical touch visually triggers our rapid edit that shoots into each transitional frame. Using steadicam, technocrane, and multiple camera coverage we will always keep up, capturing Ricky's boundless energy and dynamic performance set.

Our fanstastical transitions are a continuous sequence of frantic graphically animated moves that incorporate Ricky's idea, of making our journey Around The World In A Day. . . A fun trip.

This journey is highlighted with the raw energy of Ricky's live performance and a choreographed dance that is going to make the world move in unison!

A great live song and the ultimate soundtrack to bring in the new millennium, our video's pace is continuous as it builds, and Ricky never lets up as he magically goes Around The World In A Day. . . Inviting everyone to come along for the ride.

It won't stop until the very last Bon-Bon has been shaken. . .

"Shake Your Bon-Bon"

End.
