Video Production Notes
This is a really old story, but ... The thing that made the biggest impact on me around the time I started going to club parties was how everybody danced in totally different ways, even though they were all at the same event. The roar of the equipment and the vibrations it caused on everyone's skin was the same for everyone, but everyone interpreted it completely differently.
