Anybody interested is asked to come out to the base of the Ambassador Bridge for 8am. Extras will also be needed for filming at the Great Canadian Flag at the foot of Ouellette Ave. at 10:30am.
Rivard, who grew up in Windsor and attended the University of Windsor, says she is shooting a unique video that shows off the city's riverfront and the skyline of the Detroit River.
"The video is being produced by Hub Media, and it's a 360-degree video, a virtual reality video. People are going to be able to see both Windsor and Detroit at the same time," she says. "When the video is done if you're watching it on your iPhone, you literally turn your phone around, and you'll see all 360-degrees around you."
The single is from her third album, "Where I Am".
Rivard lives in New York City these days but says her hometown influences much of her music.
"Windsor is where I can come home and reset," says Rivard. "New York is an amazing place, but it is also very challenging, and you kind of can lose a sense of yourself here, so when I go home I can recharge and be inspired."
If you are interested in being in the video, Rivard asks that you do not wear t-shirts or hats with logos on them, no red clothing, and nothing revealing. Bring your bikes, rollerblades, skateboards, or walk.
Any businesses that are interested in supplying food for the extras can reach Rivard on her webpage.
