Had a bit of a querky idea whilst bored at work (I put paper clips on things!)… and came up with this for an idea… just wondering what you think.
A competition… between clans if you will… on who can make the most popular youtube video within a certain time period (popularity based on number of hits/links/whatever).
The winner gets a virtual prize/donates a fiver to the others server/does a naked dance… or something.
The reasons I thought this was a good idea are three fold…
1) As you know my mate is walking to Europe… a condition of the competition would be that his link would be displayed at the end – thus providing a pretty good advert, and hopefully a raise in donations (he gets there in just under 2 monts, and I really want him to raise the £10k… hes on just over £4k atm.
2) We are entering a new age – when the massed media/corporations are no longer in power – The internet has allowed people to sell themselves to the world without phat wallets – just look at the Arctic Monkeys… who found fame through My space. Obviously I am not trying to find fame here, but I will be able to measure the effects of the free, (hopefully) humerous/interesting advertising that the videos bring, through a trusty hit counter!
3) Because it will bring enjoyment, creativity, and other wonderful things to our lives, in a competitive type way!
So please vote away…
I wasnt thinking that…. literally just a video that you think will get the most hits… ie something amusing/interesting/whatever… you know the sort of stuff that gets emailed all over the place… Its an advertising revolution I tells ya – when people see stuff that they like, they spread it round on their own accord – fuck watching Lost, with 4 10 mins breaks in the middle!
Heres an example I have drempt up… I have on my phone, a postman pat video, that someone has dubbed over, andits pretty fucking funny… Perhaps our video could be something like that- we find a cartoon, write a funny script, get clan members to record different parts (Roll on the archers!)… some one else can edit the video and post it.
I will try and upload this pat thing, to give you a ruff idea – but literally the idea is to make a popular video that people will email to their mates when they see it, so it gets as many hits as possible…
aha here it is!

Really bad quality due to coming off a phone (not mine just found it)…. but this is the general idea.
Heres a better quality one… havent watched it through fully though
reminds me of what I used to do as a kid with the Dukes of Hazzard and Rainbow. Wish I could find them old vids but Im sure they are crap as you see from the 1st pat link its just way too tempting to swear all over it like I used to do. Funny for a bit but not clever 😉 that second link is mutch better
What about we find a short bit of TV to dub and have the comp as just that. The same vid but different dubs like those pat ones?
I can handle editing sound and perhaps a voice or two if someone can come up with an idea for the program and a funny script.

pmsl!
The Pat vid is just some nobber swearing a lot, thinking it’s funny because it’s over a kid’s program.
How about something filmed in BF2? I’m thinking “Mine” but (a) not as long and (b) less Bf2 specific humour.
But I’m crap at script writing – I can do the improvised one liners, but I’m rubbish at making up stories.
reminds me of a film i saw years ago by Woody Allen, it was called “whats up tiger Lilly”; he got an exisiting Japanese film, rewrote the script and redubbed the whole film. It wasn’t one of the funniest films i’d seen but still a clever idea with some funny quips.
😀
Another film that was very clever in how it was made is “Dead men don’t wear plaid”, this got a multitude of old clips and strung them together to make a complete film..again, not one of Steve Martins best films but a good idea none the less.
