YOUTUBE MUSIC VIDEO CONTEST!

The first DUE DATE is coming up soon - July 5th!

I and a panel of fellow film students will review the submissions for roughly a week, and by the 10th, I will reveal the winner.

The second is August 1st.

There were enough people interested in the contest who had legitimate excuses (death in the family, note from the doctor, etc..) as to why they wouldn't make the first cut-off date.

Again, after the first week of August, I will judge the submissions and declare a winner.

THIS MEANS THERE WILL BE TWO WINNERS! But if you're done now, submit it now, as the second date will likely see submissions from people who've spent weeks on their videos.

I wrote the song, you download the song, you make a music video....or you don't. In which case, you get a free song.

Use these links to download "Trampoline:"
As an MP3:
http://rapidshare.com/files/40481568/Trampoline.mp3

Select the "free" download option at the bottom, then fill in the just-making-sure-you're-an-actual-person-who-can-read code and hit "download."

(note - don't use firefox for this link):
http://edcommunity.apple.com/gallery/student//item.php?itemID=13145

For the apple site, there is a drop down arrow on the right of the player, click on "save as source;" this will save it as an mp3.

The RULES:
1.) the only audio in the video is the song.

unnoficial 2.) no restrictions on medium (live action, animation, etc..)

that's it.

To COMPETE:
Simply post your music video submission as a reply to this announcement. I will look over EVERY reply.

The LYRICS:
I can't get my fill of lovin' you
and I can't say that phrase enough to you.
I tried think up of some other words
but all I got was la la laaa.

And I tried asking why I fell for you,
like a kid wond'rin' why the sky is blue.
I thought for hours; I stayed up all night,
but all I got was la la laaa.

And now that you know
how much I love you so
do you think that you could be with me?
I'm not like other guys
there's no nasty surprise
look into my eyes and then you'll see
where we'd be when we're both thirty three
and I still love you, and you love me.
It's not just one boy's fantasy;
it depends on what you say to me..
now...please...now.

I don't get why you said "no" to me,
and why won't you your reasons show to me?
I tried to tell you why your answer was wrong,
but all I got was la la laaa.

I mean I bought a friggin' ring and everything
I even wrote this song for us to sing.
A little sappy and a little too fast,
and once or twice I just wrote la la laaa

But I'd looked up some books
and they never revealed
a good synonym for how you made me feel.
It was just like a trip, like a trampoline bound,
and I fear that now I'm coming down

from my high as I hung in the sky
and the only word that I can think of now is "why?"
I could just stop bouncing and sit here and cry
but you gotta' fall down to bounce up
so I know that I..will...try....still.


I wrote and performed this beauty myself, so you don't need to worry about copyright infringement.

ENJOY! HAVE FUN!

[lili4trees]

the first link isn't working and i cant find a download button on the second. what do i do?

[machelli]

there should be a downward to the lower right of the media player that'll give you the option of saving the song "as source." If it isn't there, you need to download quicktime 7. If it's still an issue, message me.

[simplyescapism]

question: did you play the sax solo?

[machelli]

yeah. why?

[NewestNuma]

[machelli]

the lyrics are in the info to the upper right of the actual media file on this page.

THANK YOU FOR NOT SINGING!!!

I'm not calling you a bad singer, by any means. It's just awkward when someone sings directly to me (i'm the only one watching this video therefore you would be singing for me. Which by the way would be cute but I've got a girlfriend, so I prefer you not hit on me sir.) Anyway, thank you.

Ten bucks says I get like 39874562937 thumbs downs for this comment.

[vanity7venus7]
