Vid Bingo 2020 Project

[colls]

Happy New Year!
I hope everyone's vidding projects are going well and happy almost-festivids! :)

I've been batting this idea around for several months now and would like to see if there's enough interest to make it happen.

There used to be a stigma in some vidding circles about using the same song as someone else. Which is unfortunate, because sometimes a song is an AMAZING vidding song and fits so well for so many fandoms. I enjoy seeing completely different fandoms vidded to the same song. Even the same fandom with a different take or different characters is enticing!

What if we chose a song as a group, then each signed up for a fandom to make a vid using that same song. At the end of the year, we'd have a virtual vid show that sounded like a repeat - but would really be a visual feast.

Below are some examples of same song/different vid:

Glitter & Gold by Barns Courtney
MCU
Game of Thrones

Radioactive by Imagine Dragons
Supernatural
Star Trek Enterprise

An intentional duo:
Space Girl - The Imagined Village
Mutlifandom vid by Charmax
Multifandom vid by AurumCalendula

For this to be somewhat accessible to as many fandoms as possible, I suggest selecting a song that's both popular and widely available. Perhaps one that already has a few vids - the more the merrier!


So I ask of you 2 things.
1) Does this hold any interest for you, and if so, what song suggestions do you have? (my intent is that we'll discuss and then have a poll)
2) If you'd like, please share other examples of same song/different vid below.

1) I'd be very interested!! :D That sounds amazing! Don't have a song idea right now, but will think about it.


2)
one more for Glitter and Gold:
Hannibal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RspfMI-rZpw

and one more for Radioactive (self rec)
Mad Max movies https://archiveofourown.org/works/5198525

They really are two very viddable songs!

And I loved that Mad Max one - I can't believe it didn't pop in my bookmarks (LOL)! :D

[lilly_the_kid]

Thank you!!

I really hope other people will be interested as well, it sounds like so much fun :)

Some songs that came to mind:
Tik Tok
Call Me Maybe
Timber
All The Small Things
Be My Yoko Ono
Odds Are

I have actually vidded already two of these, but I wouldn't mind doing it again. We'd need songs that are kind of vague, so that they will fit most fandoms and various concepts.

I had to look up all but two of these songs - LOL

[aurumcalendula]

This sounds really neat! I'll have to think on song ideas.

[colls]

Yay! :)

[smilebackwards]

This sounds very cool! I second Call Me Maybe. Maybe We Will Rock You or Final Countdown.

[colls]

Thanks for the song ideas!

LOL - I have vidded We Will Rock you, an instrumental version. That's another thought - songs that maybe have several cover versions?

[elipie]

This would be so fun! I am with everyone on thinking Ke$ha or Carly Rae Jepson would be good choices.

[colls]

They would be fun songs for sure :) - thanks!

[cupidsbow]

I think this would be fun too. No songs to recommend though.

I'm always very in favour of this - I put together a vidshow for Vidukon a few years back with pairs of vids to the same song, Same Song, Difference Source.

[colls]

Oh awesome! More Radioactive vids - LOL

[dirty_diana]

It sounds cool but I might just be a spectator depending on the song picked.

I checked my playlists for songs that might fit the bill but I think the popularity part is stumping me a bit. Maybe Fall Out Boy? Or Lizzo.

I'm sure I can think of more but for now I'd rec:

Run This Town:
Arrow (black card transitions, fast cuts, light flickers)
Avengers (black card transitions, fast cuts)

[colls]

Maybe popular isn't the right term - accessible? Like someone said, vague enough to be able to apply to many fandoms.

I also think that songs that have several cover versions might be a good idea, too.

My two song suggestions are Champion by Bishop Briggs and Shake it Out by Florence & The Machine.
