Full Version: Fan Video Idea
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
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..
I'm in! great idea!
Cool idear, you should go an extended version of NOIS from Ottawa 93 or Wheat kings from that gig, Or the ode to Joy that is Last of the unplucked gams from La Lune 94, something we can get all behind.

So obvious, yet I couldn't help but chuckle.
Im in, World Container?
Hey I'm Darrin and I'd be happy to help if I can. Before I saw this thread I was thinking of having people record a video of themselves telling what the Hip mean to them in maybe 30sec or 1 minute clips that could be edited together - a love letter from the fans to the band. Both could be done with a montage of professions and then each person having a line from a song that could be edited together into a full song as well??? Maybe someone could record an acoustic version of something like Bobcaygeon and/or Ahead By A Century that could be used as the base track for all to have so that it is all in tune?? A bit different of an idea - just thinking out loud

I am biased but I love this acoustic Bobcaygeon I recorded: [youtube]uTm3H09Z2d8[/youtube]
In for sure
