Official thread to get this project started. We ran out of time on creating lyrics so we will be singing the original song!



If you choose to sing, please do not include the background music. It'll make the video itself a lot smoother if all I need to do is sync your voices to the instrumental. Using headphones, earplugs or just singing a capella would be much easier to work with for me. If you need to the song in segments because of this, that's fine.

This is an extremely complex song so there is a lot of stuff you can do. Now obviously what you do will determine how many tickets you ultimately get:

Video Singing - 10 Raffle Tickets
Video Instrumental Cover - 8 Raffle Tickets
Video Dancing - 8 Raffle Tickets
Video Backing Vocals - 6 Raffle Tickets
Audio Only Singing - 6 Raffle Tickets
Audio Only Instrumental Cover - 6 Raffle Tickets
Audio Only Backing Vocals - 3 Raffle Tickets
Random Video Clips - 3 Raffle Tickets

I'll keep a list in this first post handy for who is participating and who is doing what. I don't mind if we have 50 singers, but 50 instrumental covers or 50 dancers might get a little out of hand!

You can do multiple things if you want to, but your raffle tickets won't stack. This is just to keep anyone from getting a ridiculous amount.

You have until the 30th to submit your clips, so you have plenty of time. Please PM me anything you choose to do. The video itself will likely be published sometime in May, but the raffle will be drawn at the end of the month as normal.

I am disappointed.

Video Dancing - 8 Raffle Tickets

How does someone even dance to Bohemian Rhapsody? lol.

Air guitar or keyboard, sort of like what Dylan was doing in the 'FE'ed the World video. Grinding a fake microphone stand. Head banging during the guitar solo (Although I require everyone to do this regardless!)

KC I found a really good song on YouTube that was just background song with no lyrics at all. So when you're editing use something like that and not the above video.

Whenever I do an air guitar, I flip people off... I'll see if I can submit something that does not result in me flipping everyone on FE off.

how many raffle tickets for Sansa dancing?

Sansa is a member by association so 8.

If you can get her to sing a full lyric, I'll give you a bonus ticket.

I intend to record the singing audio only and lipsync the video.

Idea

why don't we have the lyrics up and we each post beside the section we want to do whether it be audio, video, instrumental etc

I think a lot of us are singing the whole song so whoever edits can do as they need with it

Yup, what she said. But like I said before - if you only want a specific part, that is fine. No less credit either.

How are we going to do the harmonized parts??

I plan to do audio only singing and random video clips. Though I'm starting to reconsider based on the ticket counts! Why is video dancing so much more tickets than video clips?

I should do my video when my friend go up the CN Tower and sing for all of Toronto to hear at 1,140ft high.
