The Time is Now! The Answer is You!
Famous Quotes from Big Hit Buda's fired up anthem titled "ELECT OBAMA". 85% of the HD video has already been shot, we filmed in Springfield for Barack's Speech and last Sunday in downtown Chicago. Here's the specifics of when and where we will be shooting.
Thursday Sept. 4th 1:00pm @ corner of LaSalle and North in Old Town. The cameraman is only hired until 3pm so this will be brief.
We would be FIRED UP if you could make it because the only element of our music video that is missing are a couple shots of actual Chicago Area Obama supporters. Seriously we only need you to say one or 2 lines (i.e. Let's Go or We Will) That's It. Now if you want to be more involved by all means hang with us and let's finish this video in style.
For those of you who haven't had the opportunity to listen to and/or watch Buda's video on YouTube. We encourage you to visit our website www.electobamatoday.com This is why..
We aren't just some guys who made an Obama anthem much like many average musicians have this year. This anthem is the Hulk Hogan like theme music for Obama Campaigners and supporters like yourself. Most importantly, this song was also created to point out factual, critical, motivational and inspirational information to those people who have not yet made up their minds on who they should vote for.
here's my number if you have any questions 309.212.4612
YES WE CAN! hope to see your mug Thursday!
