What would you have in your own music video?

[Mr Ektion]

Let's say you had a rocking song that you were given a $500,000 budget for the set and extras. What would you have in your very own (and only) music video?

Would it be like a rap video? swimming pool, bikini babes and low rider cars? Or would it be more of a red hot chilli peppers video with funny randomness?

Myself? I'd have cameos with celebrities i've always wanted to meet FOR SURE. i'll need time to think up something zaney for the premise of my vid though.

[ebbomega]

Fnords and lots of them.

[askdjasd]

I'd have low riders, crazy driving and lots of running over people.

Then at the end, mc hammer will pop out and cap the camera man.

i'd have it focused on a computer screen. itunes would open, i would click to play "my song", then open a web browser. the lyrics would be continually typed, whether it be in the address bar, search fields, replying to posts, etc.

i'd also throw in youtube cameo's of people singing/speaking my song.

obviously the pages visited would be relevant to the content of the song, and probably include some sort of easter egg hunt.

[dj_soo]

i'd pocket the cash and make a stop-motion cardboard cutout animated video.

[-evil-duerr-]

puppets, strobe lights and bitches!!!!

you'd need 500k for that?

Sounds like a pretty cool idea tho.

splice together tom cruise sound bytes, and steal a backbeat from the LMMS archive.

also included in the video will be the February 9 protest against the local CoS, if it materializes.

hopefully, this will cost 250K cos we may need the other 250K to pay for the defense lawyer when CoS lawyers descend on us.

edit: oh, and pay the artist of the LMMS backbeat off for using his music. hopefully, it won't break us.

lol no, the other $$$ would obviously be spent on hookers and blow.

btw, one sweet music video (get your 3d glasses)

FU2 Clothing: Missy- Ching A Ling 3D Version

[jenai]

i wonder if it's legal to splice in GGW-like footage into a music video e.g.
take an abby winters video and put a backbeat to it.

listening to faux lesbian pr0n is really boring when all you hear is the squeaky table and the shrieky climax at the end.

[Mr Ektion]

haha, a large budget stop-motion music video would awesome.

I'd personally do a light hearted video of me taking a plane ride to some sort of imaginary super city in the future. It would be like Who framed Roger Rabbit where half of it is cartoon creatures/objects interacting with real life stuff. I'd want a whole city scape of stuff happening like monsters walking around, laser beams and vibrantly colored far-out buildings. The celebrities would be the other humans walking around and doing stuff as if everything was totally the norm.

How you can put Abby Winters and GGW in the same example is beyond me.

One is clearly designed for misogyny whereas the other is designed for chicks.

Abby Winters is the porn guys keep so their girlfriends don't think they're complete pervs.

^Yup. Yup.
That'd eat up $500 000 pretty damn fast.

Frosty
(laughs at concepts withering in the face of Budget)

[Mr Ektion]

^^ (laughs at you laughing.)

uhh... this is make-believe. i'm sure we can arrange to have a budget doubled or tripled if the idea was fun. Otherwise, I'd budget about $100,000 per minute to a classical animator for a 4 minute video. And $100,000 towards b-list celebrities.

[Ms.Tarantula]

it would end up mostly black and white, or sepia.. look a lot like an artsy type film

shots of places I love (in cities where I have lived) and/ or on loccation somewhere, im thinking in asia.. or maybe egypt or some equally cool and historic-esque place.. (rome, greece, sicily.. I dont know..)

same idea others said of cameos, but not of celebs. I'd want people in it like my family - mother, grandmother, and closest friends or even people I'm no longer on 'good terms' with who had substantial impact on my learning process in life.. that deserves trubute IMO

I guess it sounds kind of kitschy... but its not really meant to impress. it's meant to express.

[wishbone]

bitches and hoes

[hardstylin]

A nice big warehouse
a lamborghini with the doors up
a bunch of hot sluts doing slutty shit in and around the car and myself
a bunch of rolled up cash everywhere!
id be throwin stacks and rolls at the camera all video
id be spankin the girls with money stacks
id set the money stacks on fire
id light up a blunt with a burning money stack
id have an ice cooler filled with diamonds keepin the alize chilled!
after doing some freaky shit will all the girls id get in the lambo and drive off
right before a floor it out of the warehouse id roll down the window just enough
to drop 10g's on the ground for the girls
there would have to be some footage of me doing a drug deal, probly on a yatch
the shaddy customer im doing the deal with would try to fuck me over
but id pull some 00gangster shit and end up with
the drugs money and yatch

something like that anyways.

[askdjasd]

crime fighting manrilla's

[Mr Ektion]

Going travelling in the music video never even occured to me. I guess I could make a stop off in Spain just for shits and giggles.

Hardstylin, You know those shows where you stand in a little chamber filled with $100 bills and then a fan turns on from underneath and you gotta catch as much as you can? I'd have a scene like that. Me in a cash tornado room with a HUGE ASS GRIN on my face.

[Ms.Tarantula]

I FORGOT THE OBLIGATORY ROLLING AROUND NAKED WITH REDICULOUSLY HOT MALE ABERCROMBIE AND FITCH MODEL IN PILES OF WHATEVER CURRENCY IS WORTH MOST ATM
