IGS Media Technician John has started editing a video for Stan Bush's Dare, popularised through its inclusion in a 1986 animated Transformers movie OST (though I have to confess being unfamiliar with either of these!). The highest google ranking for vids goes to a UGC/fan-made vid from 2008 featuring footage from the 80s and newer Transformers flicks.
Arguably, then, the target aud for a vid for this today would have crossover appeal to an older, 35-44, age range from its original release as well as a contemporary youth audience (though the AOR nature of the track, and some dated/80s elements of this, might well limit youth appeal). As an independent artist in his own right, John's own auteur stamp is evident, with the fantasy themes and abstract style that marks much of his work (in film and other media) suggesting a more niche appeal than the very mainstream original use of the track.
The early, initial guide cut (not much further than laying down a basic guide track + starting some FX experiments) is embedded below, followed by a summary feedback from a sample of 17 year-old Media students. I'll add further details of FCProX tools used, and further cuts as they become available.
