Contest Brief

Ink To Spill is an alternative rock band with an eclectic, soulful sound. Lenny is our first release to be relaunched under the new band name. The song is based on the characters in Steinbeck's novel 'Of Mice and Men'. The is 3:14 in length and can be listened to on our old site 'thequills.net'. Best case would be someone who could get Ag footage and/or drone footage of farm operations and Ag landscapes in the CA valleys. The video should probably be shot in black and white. Actors would be a plus, but may not be necessary. The new single cover can be found on 'inktospill.com' to give you an idea of the feel. Would be great if we could see the first cut by 3/27 to support a 4/2 launch.

Thanks, Bob

    Hello ! I love those kind of project =) Can you provide a green screen shot of the band singing the chorus ? It will be perfect to replace the "freestock" one I used in my work #17

    Dear Bob (Contest Holder),
    Following the public clarification board so far, I would like to know if you're ready to pay for stock footages. Also, your video won't be deleted from YouTube if you have license for the footages. My entry (will be submitted by a week) will contain footages from stock, but with licenses. I'll link every video and its price in the description of your entry.

    Hence, you'll have to pay for the stock footages. Tell me if you're ready (reply here or message me).
    Looking forward.

    Hi All, I extended the project for a week. So far, there are some interesting entries. Would greatly prefer original footage and I'm not interested in anything that would be challenged for royalties (though stock footage may be acceptable). As noted earlier, I may be able to mix in some vocalist/guitarist footage later this week. Thanks, Bob

    Hi Kareem, Thank you for your creativity. The song is a bit of a bluesy, Americana (think Credence Clearwater Revival) type of feel, so I'm struggling with some of the dance concepts. Would greatly welcome original Ag footage and I may have vocalist/guitarist footage by the end of the week to weave in. Happy to hear more of what you're thinking. Thanks, Bob

    Contest Holder ( Bob ) u must know that once u upload any of this will be put down by the real owners!
    because this is a music video! and everybody is using material from YouTube and stock footage without even mentioning that and acting as if it's their own footage!
    My advice here to get something worth uploading on YouTube or TV is that u make the contest #extended for a week or two and ask for original material that we all editors or filmmakers should shoot on our own responsibility! or you'll end up with uploading a video and next day it's gone!

      Hello Bob, It's Exactly Like What Obaidul A. Said it will be a waste time and money of something will be deleted cuz of copyrights also with no creativity so yes it's great that you extended the contest and increased prize it will be more than enough for original work to be done.

      In case u r looking for something different too i have also another idea plus original farming and landscapes video, HOW ABOUT a fresh (( original 4k resolution, concept dance video in the same theme )) mixing the theme of farming as a location with dancers wearing farming outfits which reflects a real story in it through a choreography mixing different styles of jazz, charleston, lindy hob, acrobatics and many more classicals that matches the theme of the song ( something will be created merging some of these dances in the links in a creative way with dancers who work for me too " u can check the show reel on my portfolio )

      ...exactly. As I can see, nobody declared and provided links to the stock-footage they have used in their entries. It looks like everybody shoot all the footage on their own... LOL

      Hi Obaidul, thank you for your question. I would want only royalty free. Otherwise, it just seems too complicated. As far as credits go, I might be able to be flexible there. Thanks, CQ

      We didn't video tape this one Francisco. It's possible we could green screen something with the vocalist/guitarist, but that does complicate things a little. Thanks for your interest on this one! CQ
