A Life Eroding: A Crowdsourced Augmented Reality project

This is a video call to participate in the first ever crowdsourced augmented reality music video, produced in collaboration between UK folk music band Songdog and a class of 20 film-making students in Temple University Japan Campus.

Project website: http://www.8songs.info

The song, A Life Eroding (©Songdog, One Little Indian, 2010), is about all the moments of sorrow that fill a life, and makes it beautiful. Augmented Reality is used to symbolize all that one can remember, but that is lost forever - you can see it, but you can't touch it. While augmented reality has been used in music video before, it is usually designed by monster-big production studios with substantial budget; this is the first time this is done on the scrounge, by students working directly with a professional band.

To do this, we rely on fan's participation: everyone is invited to send a short video sequence featuring the AR marker, and we'll edit everything together into one large, international, crowdsourced video.
