U2 start community music videos

Originally posted by EyesWithPrideB3:I like the idea, I just don't know what we could do that would actually be worthwhile...I think it would be AWESOME to choose one song, like "No Line" or something, and all film ourselves doing the whole song, and someone technologically advanced/with free time on the crew could edit it into one cohesive music video, where everyone got their own part. Though I'm not sure who'd be up for that either.

Hell, I'd do it, but I don't have very good video editing software...just some basic tools. But I'd do it, I've got nothing but free time as of late.

yeah no line would be great, i hadn't thought of that one. i was thinking we could just keep doing it the same way with people singing it or whatever until a better idea came up.
i could edit it, i like editing video, unless someone else really wants to do it or thinks they could do it better.
we could just take little snippets from everyone who contributes and put their real name, username, and location under it or off to the side or something.

Yeah...I like the idea of everyone doing one song and sending it in better than everyone doing their own songs. It's more original, and fresher than watching one person try to be creative for 4 consecutive minutes...could get a tad boring. But one where it switches every line or so, would really have some sweet variety to it I think. Talk it up, we'll get people's attention; I think this is a potentially really cool idea!

thanks
thats what i was thinking originally when i first brought it up, having as many people from the site as possible all doing the song for one video.
but we'd still need everyone trying to be creative for the full 4 minutes, because we want something at least mildly entertaining happening throughout the entire video right?

Haha right. There'll probably be that one fallback video thats just so amazing, you could cut back to it every time you ran out of variety haha.

yah, we need to get someone to sing the song while riding down the highway on the hood of their car or something
but now we need to start figuring out who would be interested in contributing
you in eyeswithpride?

Absolutely...my camera is broke....I think my sister has one of those Flip cameras though that I'm sure she'd let me use to film the video with. Just let me know what song, if we get more people in on this, and I'll go to work

Name's Matt, btw

alright, what song do you think, vertigo, boots, or no line?
im fine with any of the above
then we just need people to film themselves singing the song (preferably doing something interesting, dont just sit in front of your computer!!) with your name, and where you're from and we'll edit it together
simple right?
we just need to get more people in here to agree to do it

I'm sort of keen on No Line...slow enough that allows for some easy edits, great lyrics, has sort of an "adventurous" feel to it that makes for an interesting video to include scenery...I just think it works the best.

My second pick would be "Vertigo", which I think would be really cool to do too, but I think one at a time hahaha.
