VIDEO SUGGESTIONS WE’D
SUGGEST TO ANYONE:
Poetry, not prose. Find a way into the idea,
not just the lyric of the song, and make
it your own. Avoid “see/say” where the
visual directly illustrates the lyric as best you
can. Please make it beautiful, bold, stylish,
contemporary, psychedelic, mind-bending.
Beauty is often persuasive.
Transparency effects are nice,
startling and beautiful imagery is nice,
motion graphics can be exciting. Live
action, animation, puppetry, multi-media—
anything is possible and all new ideas
welcome. Humor is not required. If there is
humor we would strongly suggest it be
deadpan—the deader the better.
The topic of the piece should not be
John and John –– and representations of
the band are discouraged.
All imagery must be original.
Incorporating copyrighted images
will disqualify your work.
