I am planning a jate video to a song which has been used three times but not to this ship. only one has recieved a pick also. Do you think this is a bad song choice?

My opinion (for what it's worth! ) is that if it's another subject entirely, I don't see a problem. However, can you find another version of the song though? Just to make things different?

Well I think it seems a good idea. Like Cinthia said, if its to a different ship. Whats the song? If you don't wanna say on here then DW. You could always PM me if you need to try and find a different version of the song, I can usually find most songs.

hmmm

-Jate vids are pretty tough to make... original
-Three times is often enough to make some good use of the song already.
-That CP means the vid was done really well, so you may have some competition there.

However, if it's for a different ship, that definitely does help. The trick in this whole thing is to use that ship in a unique way to the song, like if there's a way the lyrics fit Jate especially well. If it's just a generic love song, then it doesn't matter that you're using a different ship, because it's gonna be a lot like all the others.

You may have your work cut out for you as far as making this video original goes.
But that doesn't mean you can't! And even if you can't, and your editing is really good, you're still gonna get a Silver CP .

Good luck!
