I was thinking of doing something pretty meaningless, like use the song "Salt Shaker" and then use a bunch of film-editing tricks to do shakes and stuff..but now I have a planned vid with an actual purpose. LOL

Nah, that sorta thing still counts as a "point" really. It just can't be a bunch of random clips in a montage is what I meant. Hell, I don't even know if that is true!

LOL Bah, as I said though, I was thinking of the possibility on how I could make that sort of thing funny, but then I got a better idea

to get an award or plaing does there have to be a point to the video or just random on beat clips?


Heya Becca! Even though this contest is focusing on beat use, we still judge for over-all basic vid techniques. And an important part of a vid is for it to have a lot of thought put into it. Most of the time, that comes across as a definite story or theme. If a vidder puts just any old footage on the timeline, it's not going to have as much impact as if they put thought and care into it, even if they edit it to the beat.

Even the "funny random things" usually have a point of some sort. It IS possible to do a truly random vid and make it work, of course, but that's a lot harder to do and has more of a chance of leaving the viewer going "Huh?" rather than "Wow!"

My vid has absolutely no point to it at all. I'm using "Scared" by Three Days Grace... and I'm about 30 seconds in too

Cool contest! I think I might enter. I won't get anywhere (there are WAY too many fantastic vidders on here - unfair!!) but I'll do it anyway

Cool! Recently i have been trying to focus on the beat a lot more when making vods so this is a great contest. But the thing that i find hard is finding a good song with lots of good strong obvious beats that i can see (or should i say hear!)

Probably focus on a random vid of everyone with a bit of point to it but mailny just have a wide look on it all... just need a song if anyone has some in mind

I have a video using Cold Water by Damien Rice but given it doesn't have a drum beat i don't know if it'd work for this challenge

When you say PG-13, you mean like on TV? So if say one rapper whose name I'm not going to mention says @ss, is that bad? Can I leave that in, I think he only says it once. Honestly, the man had no other word to use that would sound cool...LOL!

I have a good song, but he says the dirty a word...*snicker*. I dont want to take it out though.

Pretty sure "Ass" (oooh rebelious I just said the full word ) is fine. Only swear-words and really rude sentences directed at people would really offend people, I think.
