empallinDye Trying Video Zine Submissions
pasted and reposted from elsewhere.
on the video zine thing this is your first assignment. if you are reading this i mean you.
i am looking for a few possible bands to feature. good ones by my rules. unsigned is better but good is the main thing. so comment or mail me a link to further info and i will take a listen. if they actually seem to be trying then i will keep them on the list.
i am not looking for any particular style but there are certain things that will get a band off the list of possibles immediately. listing the greatful dead or phish as an influence. being signed to a top level major. a lack of passion in the music. too large a collection of covers in the collection. sucking. trying harder to be cool that to rock.
this doesnt mean plug your best friends band that deep down you know has no real potential. i want to get to the good stuff. i have passed up interviews before because i thought the band sucked and the current state of all things makes it even more feasible to do this.
so lets see what youve got.
----
ok so there are some questions on what i am looking for in relations to the video zine thing. so i will try to pin it down. put simply i want interesting. fun. odd.
pretty. cool. whatever. just remember this is not a family show and will obviously not be rated.
some examples are
emergency vehicles in action or transits
rants and tirades
things that are just plain weird/funny
shots in/out the window of plains and trains
stop motion animation
interesting stories stories
reviews of real items
band interviews
plastic bags
stuff blowing up
breaking news stories of fake events
things will get pulled from everywhere.
a couple of examples i will be doing are showing clips from some of my 8mm films refilmed with the camera. and a puppet show of sorts that may very well not get done. mike has been assigned the responsibility of joke telling and filtering. we are going to bring out the worst.
if you can get the same thing from multiple angles that is great. i can splice it together.
for band interviews the first question is what is the band who is in it what is the website and what have you got to say for yourself. any questions beyond that are up to you. the will be less editing if the is music to go after the interview bit (live shot or rule shot video (with a digital still camera or cameraphone or web cam).
still camera/cameraphone/web cam are the only real hard and fast rules. i could shoot with a nice camera and do the conversion but it would never get done and i want anyone to be able to submit to me. by setting this limit to everyone it puts everyone on the same playing field. but try to hold it steady if i get seasick watching it i might very well skip using it.
if you are submitting a video more for the audio that is one it let me know and and i will try to put it with something fitting.
on the reviews i say real items because i dont want reviews of websites, mp3s and such. it you want to do a review of an album it doesnt have to a new one but it does have to be by a band or artist that is still releasing new material. same goes for paper zines. really good format for stock soda and restaurant reviews.
i had said that it would be annual but i am changing that to bi-annual with july 31 and nov 30 as the target release dates. deadline submission will be one month prior to that. uploads will begin a month after release. i would like for the content to be exclusive until after release at the least but...
even though i am intending for this to be released real world only i will set up a youtube channel for the left overs and such. this will be used as a promotional tool and for showing bits that got cut. for instance if you send something that is 10 minutes long but i only use two i may upload it to there if it justifies it. cut scenes and gag reel type of thing.
i will not encourage law breaking to get or make videos. if i let something through that shows you breaking the law it was your idea and as such you and only you are responsible for the consequences.
when considering sending remember there will be two different aspects. there will be the feature segments and then the inbetweens. the inbetweens may very well end up feeling like blipverts by the time i get done so nothing is too short.
when filming keep speed in mind. somewhere between icarly and fred is what i am aiming for. if a uhhhhh bit uhhhhh drags on it may uhhhhhh get cut. practice runs and reshoots are completely acceptable. or i may just edit out all the dead space which will just look silly. but by that same token some points are suppose to drag out.

Ultimately these need to be signed and kept on file by each person appearing but as production will happen in Oklahoma, and OK law accepts verbal contracts, these can be read aloud by identifiable people appearing in video. They must state legal name and date. So print it out and keep it with you. This will apply most specifically in interview situations. Those appearing must be over 18 or a printed copy signed by parent or guardian will mandatory. I really need to find a quick and dirty version that still covers all of the points.
