I've had an idea - wanted to post it here first, before going over to the hip forum on Facebook.
I'd like to create a fan video, with fans from here and FB singing a line from an (as yet undecided) song, probably a live version for reason I'll go into in a mo. I'll create a shared Google doc with the lyrics on it, where people can reserve a line. Perhaps donate $10/$20 or something to Sunnybrook for the privilege of being part of it? With about 20 or so lines in a song that's a respectable amount. Also I don't entirely get how you make money off of Youtube vids, but if people click ads and it makes money there too, all proceeds will go to Sunnybrook as well.
Parts of it will be the live stage video of whatever the song is, the intro, perhaps somewhere in the middle, and end of Gord, etc.
Then everyone does a video of themselves singing the line. The audio throughout will be the live gig, but with fans mouthing/singing that, visually. Live gig because that way it can be interspersed with Gord singing/dancing and then all lined up nicely.
I'll collate the videos, edit them in Premier, line them up with the audio etc. Darrin Cappe on Facebook (Here as well?) seems to know his stuff on video editing, so I'm sure if I ask nicely he could help with the completion of the video.
I just want to do this for Gord, to give at least a little something back. Maybe he'll see it, I don't know. Just want him to know we're there for him. I'm so (so) gutted I cant get to Canada for this tour, so need to stay engaged (!) with the goings on over the next few months as much as I can.
Thoughts? Good song ideas for this? Best live version (a/v)? Good idea or not?
New Orleans is Sinking, GLIYDW was another one I thought as its quite pensive and relatively apt given "the news". Poets? I could go on and on..
