Well, I’m sure you all already knew that Abhishek and Aishwarya tied the knot this past Friday, but in case you didn’t, consider yourself informed.
The point here is that I spent some time on YouTube yesterday watching Bollywood videos. So I’m sitting there, watching a Abhishek’s performance1 from the Zee Cine Awards2 this year, and I realize that the intro video they show the audience before the actual live performance is essentially serving the same function as the cut scene.
These show up all the time now on the actual MTV award shows too.3 The little bit of exposition or drama to set the moment, highlight the bad-assery of the star, and get the audience pumped for the performance. How long have these been around? Within my own memory, I just recall these showing up on MTV in the mid to late nineties. Were they around earlier? You also see them used in the big budget concert tours. I’m wondering if this sort of thing might be an interesting trickle out from one end of the entertainment world (video games) to another. What do you think?
