Name that music video. A while back I remember coming across a music video for an electronic song that looked like it may have been shot in Japan and involved a lot of really cool popping and locking. I don't know anything about how the video was made, but it did have a very rich cinematic look to it and may have used CGI to create this dancing effect.

These are the only scenes I remember:

Scene 1: Two mall cops sitting behind a desk, drinking coffee, one gets us and starts breakdancing, then the other ones joins in as well.

Scene 2: Cop walks into a brightly lit minimart and has a bboy showdown with the kid working behind the counter.

Style is very similar to David Elsewhere in this Heineken commercial.

Where can I find a bboy workout?

The B-Boy workout: How are B-Boys able to build such strength in proportion to their own bodyweight? Traditional bodybuilding should be able to help, but are there certain exercises that allow for people to control and distort their bodyweight in the way B-Boys do? I apologize if the title doesn’t make much sense, but I do not know how else to title the question.

I am fascinated with the way B-Boys are able to control their bodyweight in different ways. If you would like to know what I am talking about, here are two videos:

Video 1
Video 2

What kind of exercises do they do? Is there a workout program out there that helps grow their skills more or is it purely the dance that does it?
