[phantoneku]

* * SONG CHOICE AND INSTRUCTIONS * *

OK GUYS, I know the poll isn't closed yet, but I did say the decision would be made by Saturday. At current standings, it looks like the winner is..........

:

Coldplay - Charlie Brown - YouTube

Charlie Brown!!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now participants, this is IMPORTANT, please follow the directions below:

1) Get ready to record yourself:

- dress up as Coldplay as possible

- if you want, plan a dance routine, lyrical dance, whatever else you can think of

- otherwise, get pumped! This is Coldplay's Charlie Brown we're representing!

2) Using a webcam/video recorder/recording device:

- Open up the software/application you'll use to record yourself (audio & video recorded please, don't worry, no one will hear your voice)

- Once you're all set and in position, hit the record button and then play the song/track Charlie Brown (MX CD version please)

3) DO YOUR THING!!!!

- Lipsynch (just move your mouth) to the lyrics of the whole song

-or-

- Actually sing along to the track! It's easier this way, and much more fun

JUST REMEMBER TO GET THROUGH THE WHOLE SONG

4) Stop your recording device. (Do as many takes as you want)

5) Upload it onto your computer and DO NOT EDIT IT!

6) Email the video (one per user please) to:

coldplayvideoproject@yahoo.com

with your Coldplaying.com name somewhere in the email text

Send the video as an attatchment (recommended), or a link to the video.

And then YOUR PART IS DONE!

Once all (or most) videos are in, I'll put it all together and you'll be seeing it soon!

Thanks again guys! And Happy Coldplaying!

Hey now,

Hello Coldplayers! This idea stems from the countless parodies/covers on the internet nowadays of Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe". You've probably seen one of these videos if you're active on the Internet, and so I was thinking that WE CAN MAKE THESE BUT WITH COLDPLAY SONGS!

I'm not sure if someone's already had this idea and planted it somewhere on the site, but with the popularity of the Call Me Maybe videos, I was thinking "Why not?!"

First off I wanna see how many people would be interested in this. So please if you're willing to MOUTH COLDPLAY SONGS ON VIDEO, then please step right in!

- Just post saying "you're interested" below if you are

- Once there's a sufficient amount of people, we'll go from there!

LOGISTICS:

- We'll pick an original Coldplay song (TBD)

- We'll probably use YouTube as a base site to post our videos on (unless there are any better alternatives... SUGGESTIONS?)

- I (or perhaps another Coldplayer) will compile the videos into something like this:

P.S. I completely understand if you put it on mute

Featuring the USA Olympic Swimming Team

US Olympic Swim Team Covers 'Call Me Maybe' [Video] - YouTube

I'm thinking more on the lines of this format though (different song btw)

Sara Bareilles - Uncharted - YouTube

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

LETS DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rafaelchampion]

I think we should chose a song that has a lot of lyrics.

Maybe Viva La Vida

[phantoneku]

Maybe! We'll see! Just say you're in and we'll see who else is on board!

[paradise117]

Oooooooohhhh I would love to do this but I don't have a video camera!!!! The USA olympic swimming teams video of call me maybe is sooooo cute!!! I haven't seen it b4 so thanks!!! I think it would be cool to do it like that, with us all going crazy and dancing and singing!!! Also, Charlie brown would be good because it's a really fun dancey song!!! So yeah I'll get back to you once I have a camera!!!

[TracieMorgan]

Yup. I'm in, and have a partial parody of Paradise written if we end up going with that one.

[phantoneku]

Great! I'm counting about 4 So far? and we'll just probably lipsynch along to one of the songs

Don't forget to SPREAD THE WORD guys! Thanks!

[Hulsey]

Can we please do LiJ? I'd go all out on the chorus!

Seriously though, I'm all for this!

[phantoneku]

Great! 5 and counting! We'll get to the song choice later once we get about 20? I'm thinking? So please keep on spreading the word! And any Coldplay song is really up for grabs!

[EmmaMartin]

Sounds cool! I'd say Charlie Brown would be good as well...

[phantoneku]

YES! 6! and for clarity:

- you will be video recording yourself singing to the chosen song
- then just send it!

Simple right?

Keep spreading the word!

[Hulsey]

I still love this
