[Deborah K]

We need promo videos folks. During RevMarch you all kicked some ass with your videos. Can you help with PaulFest? Here's the deal:


The winner will receive 2 complimentary Paul Festival T-Shirts and 2 complimentary three-day passes for Paul Festival!

The video should be between 30 and 60 seconds advertising Paul Festival. And all entries should be in by 6:00 PM EST on 6/25/2012.

Send all entries to paulbot@paulfestival.com

We will post the best 3 videos to the Paul Festival website and to Facebook and let you the public decide the winners with “likes”

We look forward to your entries! Good Luck!

We may have to extend the deadline. But if you can help us, that would be great!

No more tubers on RPFs? Or just no interest in being involved?

[Barrex]

second.

I'm trying to put something together... but its been a while since I've dabbled in video presentations... I do have an issue. I had thought of using parts of Lennon's "Imagine" as background music, but since it's copyrighted... I dunno....

No more tubers on RPFs? Or just no interest in being involved?

While my first 3 videos are a bit amateurish for now(in my sig), I have the software/hardware needed to do something with this, and the time and have edited similar concepts to this. However, a couple of days deadline is kinda iffy,but I may be able to bang something out. I have access to most of the HD footage around the interwebs lately, however, I'd still have to get permission from the video's owners to use their clips, since this is officially "selling" something(I'd have to donate my prize though, I cannot attend the convention).

A few questions...What (generally) do you want the video to cover? What do you NOT want in the video?

30 to 60 seconds is a huge difference for a video, is there a preference?

Is there an official logo made for the festival already? I'd need a highest resolution possible file of it.

I'll get working on it now, my job for the day was cancelled anyway.

I'll personally see to it that the deadline is extended.

PM me your em addy and I'll get you the logo

30 -60 seconds is just an option.

Thanks for doing this!

Not really a promo video and certianly not relative to what you're asking but I'm firm in my opinion that no video will ever out perform this one.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORVWjInt0kU

It has an energy like none I've seen that reflect the true tone of what is happening or "frequency" if that's understood......unlike that "something's happening here" video. Which I though was really dumb.

Just my opinion though. Neg rep me if anyone disagrees. I don't care. It's just a dot. Big whoop.

One of my favorite videos... and it is a promo video, its just not tailored for Paulfest... but it could be... I don't expect my video to be nearly as good as this one.

Funny story about that video. I had to go over to the in-laws because princess who is over 40 and still lives at home wanted to hook her laptop up to the new chinese big screen tv she just bought.

So I get over there, have the cables and all and it was really only a matter of hooking it up. When I walk in all of the elders were there discussing the elections. A bunch of them too. I think half the neighborhood had congregated there for something. Maybe it was a barbeque or something. Who knows? Now, these are all over 60 somethings and I always get to chuckling to myself when I hear them discuss such things because all they really do is echo cable news talking points. FOX, btw. Go figger. They piss and moan about the price of gas and have no idea the reason is that the dollar is worth about nothing these days. Beyond that, they really have no clue about anything going on around the world or even here for that matter. At least as far as i can tell. Just the dumbed down msm spew.

So anyhow, I got it all hooked up and while they were chatting about how they were going to vote for Romney because "The Democrats did it" and the old "it's the black guy's fault" kind of mindset I said I had to check the flash...which they had no idea what it was. I just kind of said it because I was ready to pounce at that point. I also said they needed to turn the sound up a bit because I had to sync it....which was bs as anyone knows. I thought that was funny though, if not definitely original.

So then I went to youtube and clicked on Alone No More.

Wow...just...wow. Priceless. Over 60 inches of reality in dolby surround sound in a room full of neocons hell bent on leaving the youngins with their wreckless tab they were so proud to have accumulated over the years. Growth, I think they called it. It was awsome.

So, I said, it works... like nothing was out of the ordinary. I've got a meetup to go to, I said. Call me if you have any problems. Although, I'm sure they though I meant I was going to go play cards or something.

Nothing but crickets chirping at that point. Wish I had a camera.

Was a hoot. :D

Actually, come to think of it , it was a barbeque they were having. The funny thing about that is that they really like their processed burgers and GMO corn and all of that mess. Yeah....that's big business these days. Lucky for them Mitt's a "business" man so they get what they "ask for", I guess.

Reminds me of the Remnants article, really.

[SilenceDewgooder]

well.. here's my "attempt" at a video, but it's definitely a work progress. I don't think it really hits the spot about PaulFest, but anyway.. Need some ideas, my creativity is hiding under my sleep deprivation.. could also use some good links to high quality videos...

Further along than I've gotten:p

Oh man, let me put the fire suit on...

I really don't like that song, and never have. Doesn't seem to fit for what you had, and may turn off those we are trying to attract, which is everyone else besides us. I have out of town older guests here now and they just watched this... "The repetitive "Ron Paul" in the song is quite annoying"(I have to agree), they tell me after I asked what they didn't like about it... There you go, instant market feedback:p.

I somewhat agree and it's not my best work... as far as the song.. it wasn't my first, second or third choice for this very reason ("may turn off those we are trying to attract") but at the same time, the songs I wanted to use are known songs that I am sure are licensed, so I am very hesitant about employing them.

I do presentations a lot like I write. The Mess technique. And I was so tired last night, but wanted to get something done just to get the ideas flowing.

Is that you, my Doppelganger?:p

I just got home from work and am off for the next couple of days, I'll get cracking at mine right now.


ETA: Free Music Archive has a ton of decent stuff, if you don't donate to the author(5-10 bucks, whatever) you just have to cite the author somewhere in your work(think those super fast little word disclaimers on commercials-they can always pause the video).

Other than that, premiumbeats.com has really good stuff, but it's 29.95/track. Which isn't bad, considering you can do ANYTHING you want with the songs, they're all 100% royalty free.

Also dannomusic.com, again, either donate and don't cite or use for free and cite.

[JS4Pat]

I've always wanted to see a Ron Paul video made to U2's live version of "BAD".

It would also be a great song to play before Ron Paul comes out on stage.

If you twist and turn away.
It you tear yourself in two again.
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would let it go.
Surrender, dislocate.

If I could throw this lifeless life-line to the wind.
Leave this heart of clay, see you walk, walk away
Into the night, and through the rain
Into the half light and through the flame.

If I could, through myself, set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away, see you break, break away
Into the light and to the day.

To let it go and so to find away.
To let it go and so find away.
I'm wide awake.
I'm wide awake, wide awake.
I'm not sleeping.

If you should ask, then maybe
They'd tell you what I would say
True colours fly in blue and black
Blue silken sky and burning flag.
Colours crash, collide in blood-shot eyes.

If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would let it go.

This desperation, dislocation
Separation, condemnation
Revelation, in temptation
Isolation, desolation
Let it go and so to find away
To let it go and so to find away
To let it go and so to find away

I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake, wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh no, no, no.

I think this is one a little better than my first (which isn't hard to do)... tried to make it more palatable for those unaware of Dr. Paul... had to call on Jimi for some help...

So do you intend to bogart these pics or can you upload them and send a link

Yes, I fully intend on bogarting them.:p

They aren't terribly too big, but they'll work.

HOLY CRAP! I don't know what happened to the second one, I'll try something else. Hosting site didn't post them all, either. Weird. Hang on.

[coastie]

Hmmm, it's not going to let me post most of them, they're just too big and it's auto-cropping them.

ETA: The very bottom one isn't original, I color corrected it a bit to reflect a proper Florida sunset.:p

Sorry I'm here. was in kind of a haze for awhile.

I'll make a video too I just have to soak in some info about the festival. I wont make the deadline but I'll still make a video for the festival this week. contact me if you have ideas :) christian@malazarte.com use subject "RE: RPF Video Project"

Do we really want people who are "unaware of Dr. Paul" to be there?

If so, just get good bands.

If not, target the hardest of the hardcore Ron Paul supporters.

So you're not in favor of spreading the message or increasing the support base? And to answer your question, I want America to show up.

As far as "people who are unaware" of Dr. Paul - There's a damn good chance, at some point in time, that none of us were "aware" of Dr. Paul

[coastie]

Ok, here's a sneak peak of my entry. Some titles need to be fixed obviously(new to the 3d thing), and I left Peter Schiff out for some reason, but I'll fix that. This is not the final draft, just looking for critiques/ideas and you can see where I'm going with this. This one has been a tough nut to crack, plus I've been busier than I expected all week.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WoVuNSKnvY&feature=youtu.be





It might not get too much better than that, I'm having some slight software issues right now and Adobe After Effects is not using my GPU all of the sudden for some reason, so it takes my comp a while to render lots of effects and 3d stuff until I get this figured out.:mad:

ETA:

1. Spelled Stewart Rhodes name wrong.:o
2. Need to fix jpegs at the end, one with festival dates is way too short

[coastie]

last bump for graveyard shift, going to bed, I've been up for 2 1/2 days... help a brother out(and the festival) with some ideas...

don't know if you care, but it runs over 60 secs... If it were me, I would make all the videos a fixed size.

and that doesn't even have the new rallies....


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgsg7a-Ok8Q

Yeah, I've never been able to find the entire video anywhere. Of course, I don't spend a lot of time on youtube either so it is what it is. Whomever it was that made that video did a really nice job at starting something but just never got around to finishing it I don't think. Would like to see one like this demonstrating the growth of the movement in scope.

This young lady is the only thing that even comes close to that particular Paul video in my opinion. Perhaps only because she provided a very definitive end to what it was that she began saying in the first place but like I was saying before...frequency is important if folks want their videos to be successful. Have to get on the right brain wave. Fact. Which is still only an opinion, I guess. Albeit an educated one.

Nice job!!!

Thanks! I wish I were more tech-savvy so I could make it a bit more 'crisp', but I finally did what I had been urged to do over the last year which was make it shorter and more to the point. Usually my videos are long and "dramatic".
