Sorry, not yet, and not for a while. The films are pretty big. A 4 minute film - uncompressed, is about 1GB (!) Even when very compressed, they are quite big. I'd supply the winner with the film in whichever format(s) they wanted: VHS (PAL/NTSC/SECAM), CD-R, or DV-tape.

So let me briefly describe my films:

-the key element of my style is music-to-visuals synchronisation. I try to represent as much of the music as I can visually - so that when something changes in the music, it also changes in the visuals. My musical imagination works very much through imagery, and my visual imagination is very much steered by music.

-Let me say this straight out: Although I would try my best, I would not make such a good film for music which I would call fairly unimaginative, such as Britney Spears or MatchBox 20, for example. It helps if the song I'm doing is atmospheric, or moody, or imaginative, or intense, or contemplative, or ethereal. But anyway, in most cases, if it's a song you really love, it's bound to have one or more of these qualities.

-It doesn't really matter what genre of music it is - as long as it is a worthy specimen of that genre. I've made clips/scenes to Ambient, HipHop, Metal, 'New Age', Rock, Industrial, 'drill & bass'.....

-Either way, whatever song the winner chooses, I'll do my best to make a good film

And sure I am in, but when does the contest start and before when do we have to have the skin submitted? (bussy times are ahead)

To be announced soon I'm thinking that I might make the deadline about two months from now? how does that sound?

[simon snowflake]

sounds kewl, prepare to make a 8 minutes during clip

[edit]so you can prepare -> ear parcel by lamb lol [/edit]

Hmm...I'd like to see a video clip made for NOFX - We threw gasoline on the fire and now we have stumps for arms and no eyebrows (yes its actually the title for a song). But that one might be a bit difficult....

[Wildrose-Wally]

Ah, that's great. Could you do a video for "Ouverture solennelle '1812,' Op. 49"? It's only about 15 minutes long.

[Mr Jones]

If I win, in keeping with the subject of the comp, I'd like you to make my video for the song, "The Blue Room", by The Orb, the whole 39 minutes 59 seconds please

[simon snowflake]

on cd no compression please

No problem. Are you familiar with Andy Warhol's films? He did one which was a single, stationary shot of the Empire State building and went for about 2.5 hours. Another one of a couple sleeping at night which went for about 8 hours. These films were hailed as some of the most important in Cinema history ( ), so if you win, you'll be in for a treat. There are some public toilets with bright blue junkie-proof lights near me - I'll take the camera there, a fold-out chair, a book, and a stop-watch - and lo-and-behold... a masterpiece for Mr. Jones

[StillWater]

The contest has now officially begun. To make things tidier, a new thread has been started here

[ripe]

hmm, Blue Room eh?
how about 'Huge Evergrowing Brain...'? i'd imagine there's plenty of atmospheric, moody, imaginative, intense, contemplative, and ethereal moments in that.
or i could just watch 'Orb - Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld: Patterns & Textures' video instead...

seriously though, that's a grand prize you're suggesting

[simon snowflake]

do you record the smell aswell ? lol

[StillWater]

By the way, Jones, I hope that means you'll be entering the contest
(I won't point the camera inside the bowl if you don't want - though I'm sure there are plenty who would consider that art)
