That was a really awesome tune and a great/funny/sweet idea for a video!
Thanks frits - ironically, I've just done another Rog the Bear video for a work short film competition. Same concept. Different music. I work at a largish financial services company, staff of about 4000, and they were having this competition, along work lines of course. We'd recently restructured and so I sent out an email saying, in a team bonding sort of way, have cameras, editing software, audio recording etc. if anyone wants to do a video. A few people got slightly interested and we got together and I thought "this ain't gonna work" so I went home and made another Rog video just as a fall back position. He's pimping superannuation...
As it turned out, the team got together and I edited together a reasonable video for them mashing up the Carling
Black Label squirrel footage and a few other things, and I submitted that one and slipped Rog's video in anyway, just for the hell of it. There were 31 submissions in total.
Got the email yesterday - Rog the Bear is a finalist, the team's squirrel video didn't make the cut, and I'm invited to a gala red carpet evening in a couple of week's time to announce the "People's Choice" and official winners... For getting this far I've won $200. And if Rog wins a major prize, it's another $1000. If he wins both, $2000. Probably I won't win either, but...
The irony being that after all these years of never making a brass razoo out of music, apart from when I was doing covers, I'm now raking it in (well, relatively...) for videos,
which feature my music which no-one will actually be listening to..... I haven't told anyone running the comp it's not Rog's first video, and that he's a seasoned professional...
I wonder if we'll win...
