We even brought the avatar coaches out of the video game and into the real worldโjoining in as part of the continuous dance sequence. This trailer was a great showpiece for Buster’s new Creative Director, Joel Lava. He directed the live action, as well as overseeing the animation and compositing.”nnAdds Kelly Piatanesi, “Just Dance 4” Associate Brand Manager, “‘Just Dance 4’ is the catalyst for the ultimate party that everyone wants to be part ofโwith the hottest tracklist, new modes, and quirky, cool dances. The Buster team did an amazing job with the creation and execution of the ‘Just Dance 4’ announcement trailer, not only by maintaining the essence of the brand, but also by evolving it in a way that truly surprised and delighted our fans. We needed to make a big splash at this year’s E3 Conference, and Buster rose to the challenge, by delivering a buzz-worthy trailer that both stands out in an extremely competitive environment, and has gotten the media and consumers excited about the coming of this new game. Mission accomplished and well done!” nnThe “Good Feeling” (Flo Rida) track is one of the songs on the “Just Dance 4” playlist โ the trailer features a cameo from Flo Rida (who currently holds the #1 pop song position with “Wild One.”) Rida rapped along live with the trailer at a live launch event at this year’s E3 Conference. nnAdditional cameo appearances within the “Just Dance 4” trailer include many nE-lebrities with multiple million followers on Youtube:nn• Harley — From Epic Meal Time, who wields a gigantic sandwichn• D-trix โ A Judge from “So You Think You Can Dance”n• Lindsey Stomp โ The World’s only dancing violinistn• Shane Dawson – Pop culture comediann• Cimorelli Sisters โ Seven acapella sistersnnThe new “Just Dance 4” trailer is being released globally this week online (via multiple web distribution channels).
