Paul Festival Video Contest

I somewhat agree and it's not my best work... as far as the song.. it wasn't my first, second or third choice for this very reason ("may turn off those we are trying to attract") but at the same time, the songs I wanted to use are known songs that I am sure are licensed, so I am very hesitant about employing them.

I do presentations a lot like I write. The Mess technique. And I was so tired last night, but wanted to get something done just to get the ideas flowing.

Is that you, my Doppelganger?:p

I just got home from work and am off for the next couple of days, I'll get cracking at mine right now.


ETA: Free Music Archive has a ton of decent stuff, if you don't donate to the author(5-10 bucks, whatever) you just have to cite the author somewhere in your work(think those super fast little word disclaimers on commercials-they can always pause the video).

Other than that, premiumbeats.com has really good stuff, but it's 29.95/track. Which isn't bad, considering you can do ANYTHING you want with the songs, they're all 100% royalty free.

Also dannomusic.com, again, either donate and don't cite or use for free and cite.

I've always wanted to see a Ron Paul video made to U2's live version of "BAD".

It would also be a great song to play before Ron Paul comes out on stage.

If you twist and turn away.
It you tear yourself in two again.
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would let it go.
Surrender, dislocate.

If I could throw this lifeless life-line to the wind.
Leave this heart of clay, see you walk, walk away
Into the night, and through the rain
Into the half light and through the flame.

If I could, through myself, set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away, see you break, break away
Into the light and to the day.

To let it go and so to find away.
To let it go and so find away.
I'm wide awake.
I'm wide awake, wide awake.
I'm not sleeping.

If you should ask, then maybe
They'd tell you what I would say
True colours fly in blue and black
Blue silken sky and burning flag.
Colours crash, collide in blood-shot eyes.

If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would let it go.

This desperation, dislocation
Separation, condemnation
Revelation, in temptation
Isolation, desolation
Let it go and so to find away
To let it go and so to find away
To let it go and so to find away

I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake, wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh no, no, no.
 
I think this is one a little better than my first (which isn't hard to do)... tried to make it more palatable for those unaware of Dr. Paul... had to call on Jimi for some help...

 
For those who missed the announcement:

"All entries should be in by 6:00 PM EST on 6/30/2012.

Yikes....Trop storm debby really throwing wrenches (and 12 foot pine branches) at me right now.

Not claiming these are "official" - but I used them in my video - obtained directly from the website:

^^^^^ Don't think I saw this one before making the video

I have the "We Are Ron Paul" banner without the "Moneybomb" text

I got em now, they are a lot bigger than those, I wanted as big as possible to work with.
 
So do you intend to bogart these pics or can you upload them and send a link

Yes, I fully intend on bogarting them.:p

They aren't terribly too big, but they'll work.





HOLY CRAP! I don't know what happened to the second one, I'll try something else. Hosting site didn't post them all, either. Weird. Hang on.

Hmmm, it's not going to let me post most of them, they're just too big and it's auto-cropping them.

ETA: The very bottom one isn't original, I color corrected it a bit to reflect a proper Florida sunset.:p

Do we really want people who are "unaware of Dr. Paul" to be there?

If so, just get good bands.

If not, target the hardest of the hardcore Ron Paul supporters.

So you're not in favor of spreading the message or increasing the support base? And to answer your question, I want America to show up.

As far as "people who are unaware" of Dr. Paul - There's a damn good chance, at some point in time, that none of us were "aware" of Dr. Paul
 
Ok, here's a sneak peak of my entry. Some titles need to be fixed obviously(new to the 3d thing), and I left Peter Schiff out for some reason, but I'll fix that. This is not the final draft, just looking for critiques/ideas and you can see where I'm going with this. This one has been a tough nut to crack, plus I've been busier than I expected all week.







It might not get too much better than that, I'm having some slight software issues right now and Adobe After Effects is not using my GPU all of the sudden for some reason, so it takes my comp a while to render lots of effects and 3d stuff until I get this figured out.:mad:

ETA:

1. Spelled Stewart Rhodes name wrong.:o
2. Need to fix jpegs at the end, one with festival dates is way too short
