Talent

Instead of using friends or family to be my talent I have chosen a local band. I've emailed them in advance with my song choice to ensure that they knew it and I told them that I was doing a performance video so they have a rough idea of what I am expecting from them tomorrow. I chose to use a band as they will be used to performing and will have a much better stage presence than my friends would if I put them on stage and handed them instruments. They are used to playing together and are therefore comfortable around each other which is not necessarily something that my friends would find easy to do. I also feel that by using a band I will be able to work on a more professional level as they will want to look good and so will work as hard as they can and do exactly what I tell them to whereas friends may not agree with some of my ideas and therefore refuse.
