LDD Sermon 6: Going Viral

[LMNO]

I have found that there is a severe lack of people with knowledge, talent or motivation for video on this board.  EB&G, too.  There must be Discordian videographers out there, but I don't know where.

[P3nT4gR4m]

Funny there's usly a video artists or two in any online forum I've been on. Maybe part of the discordian mindset.

[Messier Undertree]

video artist/animator or two.

I'd be willing to help with that.

If anyone is actually interested...

[LMNO]

Got any of your work online?

[Messier Undertree]

Nothing online, no.

I'm into 3D animation and stuff (XSI, 3Dsmax etc.)

I can do something in Flash too, I suppose...

Any requests?

[P3nT4gR4m]

You interested in working on a pc game?

[LMNO]

Yeah, I'm working on some songs.  I'll PM you a link, pick which ones you want to do a video to.

[Cain]

I've done some lyrics already, just so you know, but I'm polishing them up some more before general release.

[LMNO]

Sweet.  I hope I can do them justice.

[DJRubberducky]

Also, if we can find the talent...

Maybe... what have you got in mind?

[P3nT4gR4m]

I just had an idea which I figured I was as well posting here

Second coming in a box

Would work sorta like a comedy skit that takes the form of a public service announcement on behalf of the Church of the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ the premise being that christ has returned to earth but the church caught him trying to escape and is keeping him locked up in a big chest where his message is given to the viewer via the presenter. So there'd be a sorta banging and commotion and a faint 'kenny from southpark' kinda outburst then the minister would 'translate' this, along the lines of 'jesus says you should listen to what I tell you cos he aint always gonna be there for ya' ... shit like that.

Pretty obvious really but I figure if it's done right it could be funny as hell, but making a serious satirical point at the same time.

[Cain]

Sounds abit like Dostoevsky's Grand Inquisitor.  If you stole bits from that, the point would be made perfectly.

Anyway, here are some bad lyrics for y'all to laugh it.  I admit listening to the Australian band Cold Chisel was some influence, as opposed to edginess of the like of KMFDM or NIN

Black Iron Prison

I've spent a lot of time in this dark stinking cell,
I built myself piece by piece into a personal hell,
I don't know how it was  I wound up here,
or if there is even a way to get myself out

They clubbed all the rebels and rioters down,
never stopped doing their countless rounds,
we're all marching to some other Nazi's tune,
while trapped in the same small black rooms

When the first ever jailbreak we had came
it turned out to be nothing but more of the same
prisoners turned into the jail guards
a new prison, but with the same old walls

But there came a new plan on the inside
a way to finally be free of this in one stride
they said we built a prison in our minds
and we were invited to our personal jailbreak

Copied, pasted, soon to be recorded.


Is there a chorus?

Also, I have been wanting to make recordings of TGRR's stuff for quite a while, but he never gave me permission, because he wanted to do it himself. 

Normally, I would just go ahead and do it anyway, but TGRR's very touchy about ownership.

[Cain]

IMO, it needs a chorus and another verse.  I'll see if I can get it done tomorrow, as I'm finishing up a talk I'm giving this week today.  I'll also see if anything else comes to me for other songs, as I will probably spend most of the day sticking up flyers etc anyway.

I suggest PMing Roger either here or through EB&G.  I've found he is normally fine, so long as he is credited with the words, which is fair enough.  If he does give permission, I suggest "This is the House Thomas Jefferson built" as excellent material.
