Virgin America Makes The Best Safety Flight Video EVER!
As I sit at Terminal C, Gate 21 with remorse – for the first time, I ironically wish I’d be boarding a Virgin America flight anywhere since seeing their “beyond awesome” safety instruction video. There used to be a time where on board safety videos were boring, lame and excruciating to watch. Not Anymore. Virgin Airlines has just released the most entertaining safety instruction video that rivals the sounds and dance moves of your favorite pop music video, Broadway show or season premiere episode of “Glee”.
Virgin officials say their new video, to be shown fleetwide by mid-November, is designed to get passengers who may be distracted or uninterested to pay attention to potentially life-saving information.
“How many times have you been on a plane where nobody is watching the safety demonstration?” says Steve Forte, Virgin America’s chief operating officer. “People are sitting there reading the newspaper. When you look at this video, you’ll see how it grabs people’s attention.”
Virgin’s roughly five-minute video was directed by filmmaker Jon Chu, features music and lyrics created by former American Idol contestant Todrick Hall, and has among its dancing and singing cast several performers who’ve appeared on the show So You Think You Can Dance.
Here it goes… and I dare you not to watch this over and over again…
How informative and entertaining was this safety video? What was your favorite part?
