This Is The New Year MUSIC VIDEO CONTEST!!!

Official Music Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHw2VbFn0fM&ob=av2e

I can't believe it's been two years since we shot our music video for "This Is The New Year" at my friend's party in Brooklyn, NY. This year we want to recreate it...but with ALL OF YOU GUYS IN IT! Here's how it works.

You will need:
1. a white wall
2. a camera
3. a light

Tips:
Make this the most fun you've ever had in 3 minutes 13 seconds, standing at arms-length from the camera. The most important thing is that you be you.

Rules:
You will have 30 days to submit your video starting on November 1st. After uploading your video to YouTube, you must submit your video as a "video response" to THIS VIDEO so that we can review them! Just put your cursor in the comment box, click on where it says "create a video response" to the right of the box, and follow the on-screen instructions. On December 1st, we will pick our favorite moments and edit them together to make one, epic video with all you guys (and us) in it. AND our absolute favorite submission will get something special :)

Remember that we don't need a holiday to make the changes in our lives that will make us happy. We have RIGHT NOW. Every moment is brand new and boundless. So let go and embrace it! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!!!!

Thank you to Leiv Parton & Glenn Chocky for making this video!

This was a really cool thing to do, Ian. Making it was honestly one of my favorite nights of this semester. I can't wait to see the super video... Just know I'm grateful for the competition and for your contribution to music that perpetuates love and positivity... our world needs it desperately.

Hey I've never done a video response, so will you post the second one I submitted? It's the one with the real audio. Thanks...I'm learning! Excited to see how the final video turns out.

[SashaGreendyk]

Sorry, I posted a second video response because the first one kinda sucked resolution-wise. :D
