I WANT YOU MF's TO SEE SOMETHIN
Jimster said:Me and wifey had a good laugh at the hairstyles and fashion and estimate this as 1982. We are old enough to remember it (the year, not the tune).Sounds about right.
I am surprised that it's so difficult to find information about this. Over the years the video has repeatedly been posted on Youtube by various channels, but nobody provided any details about its origins with their post. A few comments under the videos help to establish: The clip seems to have been recorded in Chicago's Copherbox nightclub; the MC appears to be a part time DJ, otherwise bus driver for Chicago's CTA, called Charlie Green who was active in the 60s and 70s, but judging by the video also still in the 80s. Apparently, he has a son by the name of DJ J Grilla who is still a DJ in the area. https://soundcloud.com/dj-j-grilla
According to comments under various videos, Charlie must have been a minor celebrity and his Bus Stop routine must have been quite popular in Chi-Town and even a bit beyond, though people in NY etc. did not neccessarily neccessarily realise that the dance they were doing had come from him / from Chicago.
In 1986 a Chicago producer called Hudson Beauduy released a House version incorporatig a recording of Green's routine calling it Bus Stop / Electric Slide.
Ten years later, Hudson was responsible for one of the versions of the Cha Cha Slide which ruled children's birthday parties in the early naughties (and since...)
In 2017 a French DJ/Producer by the name of "Will The Funkboss" did a post-disco remake in with the audio from the video crudely incorporated.

Think back to when you bought your first turntables. You managed to put a record on but it took a while to learn how to scratch and beat match. It’s the same with drones: You need to invest time to learn how to fly and film. This will be your biggest investment. But you do need some money... You don’t have to spend thousands, but close to a grand will get you a DJI Mini 3 Pro which supposedly is the best consumer drone out there ATM. I don’t have that one and can’t speak from experience but it packs a lot of the features of previous models into a sub-250g device which is good as the low weight means you have to observe less flying restrictions. There are cheaper ones available but you get what you pay for and below a certain level it’s not fit for your purpose.The DJI Mini 3 Pro has automatic tracking and follow modes. You are talking about cycling and flying “in the forest” which means many potential obstacles. I don’t know how good it would perform under those conditions. I would suggest you research on YT what people have to say about tracking abilities AND obstacle avoidance.I personally find shots following an object a bit boring but filming from the front (while autonomously flying backwards) has been challenging for older DJI drones: they tend to swirve to the side and then continue following from behind.Alternatively, you might want to consider a pole or helmet mounted 360 camera which could give viewers the illusion of a camera following you.(Quality if video is bad because of Facebook's compression. Original video is HD or even 4K, can't remember...) -
