So it's been suggested that an ametuer remake of the music video for this Owen Pallett song would be a fun idea. Who wants to be a part of the creative team!? We can all discuss stuff here, what the concept should be and which shots should be in it, and put it together via the magic of the internet.

sounds like a plan man, i dunno if scotland would be a good area for this but i travel on trains/buses through COUNTRYSIDE a lot so if you need any footage of that kind of thing i could do that, only problem is i only have a crappy cameraphone

That would be perfect! But yeah, with the videoing equiptment I am having the same sort of problem. All I have is a digital camera for photos, which also takes short audio-less video shots, which I suppose will do. If your cameraphone is a fair quality (like not completely pixellated) then it should be alright I think.

Sounds great Romi Here is a link to the song for anyone who is interested: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNWyXd0cIVoAny ideas for what shots should be included? Obviously we've got pretty landscape and countryside and such covered, which should be cut through the whole thing, but I don't know what else could be included. Should there be people in it? The song is roughly about Lewis riding his horse to the top of Mt Alpentine to slay Owen and such, but that would be pretty tricky to recreate exactly. Ps. Lyrics: As soon as I got on the horse, I forgot about the math. Forgot about the odds against an adolescent standing up to all of Owen's wrath. The heat of prairie summer, impossible to take. I grab the hem and lift the fabric over my sweet head. I know what you're looking for, and I'm never gonna give it to you. I'm never gonna give it to you. I'm never gonna give it to you.
Government rule established by a dazzling light show. A hegemony armoured with a thousand-watt head and seven inches of echo. I keep up my velocity, my spurs are in her sides. I don't know what I'm doing, and it is the only way. Toward the range I'll ride, singing, I'm never gonna give it to you. I'm never gonna give it to you. I'm never gonna give it to you.
"I am overrated," said the sculptress to the sea. "I've been praised for all the ways the marble leaves the man, And I was wrong to try and free him." And as for me, I am a vector, I am muscle, I am bone. The sun upon my shoulders and the horse between my legs, This is all I know.
My senses are bedazzled by the parallax of the road. I concentrate to keep contained the overflow. My knuckles grip so tightly, my fingers start to bleed. If what I have is what you need, I'm never gonna give it to you. I'm never gonna give it to you. I'm never gonna give it to you.

AWESOME! Anyone good on any movie making programs? We should all pick a character/feature and film our bit, send it to someone and VOILA!

I have about 30 minutes overall of footage out of a train window if anyone wanted bits of it, I think in the other thread it got mentioned? It's loads of little 2/3 minute segments from various trips home and back so the weather/view is varied. And photos too.

^ Sounds perfect I've had an idea. Is there any way we could make a joint photobucket/flickr/whatever-lets-you-upload-video-files account? Then if everyone had the password, we can all upload any footage we have and view everything that's up there. That way we can decide by general consensus which bits should go into the video, and even start to discuss what order etc.

I've only just seen this, this is a nice idea. I will contribute. I do have final cut on my own laptop and whatnot but I probably won't have the time to have this responsibility, but there are HD cams at my college if anyone wants anything fancy. Otherwise my mobile is quite good with filming I'm using it to experiment at the minute actually

Oh my gosh, this is such a great idea! I have a pretty cheap video camera (although sometimes it records this annoying buzzing noise along with it and I've never been able to figure out how to edit it out without disrupting the rest of the sound..probably could be done by someone better at editing software than I am!).

Right! I shall set about finding a hosting site for our project. For ease of use, shall we just start a communal Youtube account/channel?

This sounds pretty cool. Can anyone ride a real horse? That'd be sweet.
