Howdy Folks.
As you may have gathered from my sudden interest in finishing a camera mounting, it's Video Clip Time Again! Yeehaa!
When working on a Zero Budget (or close to it) clip, we rely on Random Stuff To Magically Come Together ( I do believe, I do believe I can fly-eee....thud).
We also believe in unicorns.
If you want to see the kind of stuff we make, look to the left (or click here), yep, all those little boxes with pictures are clips we've made, or stuff we've shot.
Ahem.
So, we're throwing open the doors and using mixed metaphors to our dear readers and other Random People to get involved in our clips.
I am going to start by listing the clips we have ideas for and what we need.
Stuff You Might Want To Know
We''ve got lots of ideas for the different songs, some from the coming album, some from other ones we have always wanted to do
We do them when we get enough random stuff together to implement an idea
If we try and things fall over, we don't complain, we just move on and do the one's we can make happen.
We'll shoot weekdays, nights or weekends, completely depending on when all random factors are in alignment
Some stuff we already have, here are a list of the things we ain't got:
