I can sit back calmly and enjoy the contest thinking about the following:

1. The question

"What would you do?" Maybe it's enough only to promise something, no need to actually perform stunts? Smile


Did you watch the other videos? One guy pledges to make 100 songs with the Kronos. By the way, I did not perform one stunt, though I have a program called After Effects.

Still I - being a musician - wouldn't like to be introduced to the world by Korg this way.


The first response I got on the HC thread was:

"That video was HOT Hope you win Cool sounds too ... "

I think the subtext (The Kronos' sound and synthesis factor) is coming across.


Quote:
I guess all videos will get similar number of views from musicians (who know about Kronos).


Each will probably benefit from the effort put behind it. For example, I posted on 7 forums, plus Facebook and mine has only been out just one one day.

Thanks for the reply, Mike.

Yeah, I watched the other videos...

Is this really a good ad to officially publish a funny video together with the latest and most professional innovation? (Maybe yes but I don't believe Korg will sell more based on this.)

It seems popularity is needed at almost "whatever cost". It's very sad for a professional instrument manufacturer company with the most advanced workstation in history.

I shared your video on Facebook. (Although, again, the number of views is not included in the official rules.)

UPDATE: OK, the above is just a speculation. Nobody told at Korg they need a funny video however the "humor" and "entertainment value" are important criteria (and in the event of a tie the latter will decide).
As I already wrote a serious, meaningful video that can touch people's hearts and minds would be much better. Both for the winner and for Korg.

What will I do for my Kronos.

Pay $3000 and wait two more months.

I am working on the video, of me waiting Shocked

But the longer I wait on the Kronos, the more other mfg equipment starts to look good, good thing the Jupiter 80 is not available.

I am developing a bad case of G.A.S.

The irony is that you would probably be disqualified! Twisted Evil

I started thinking of ideas (Robbers stealing a Kronos at gunpoint, playing "chicken" with a Mack truck, etc.) and saw this:

Quote:
Entries cannot contain sexually explicit material, lewdness, obscenity, violence, inappropriate language, depictions of bodily harm, damage to public property, or damage to other people’s property


The above statement pretty much wiped out my initial ideas. Wink

My Disclosure: Fortunately, Primal Mike only had a case of heartburn. Rabies and fire breath were simulated. Very Happy


Haha! mine too, I was going all crazy on ideas that were well ehm crazy Twisted Evil but than I read that and I was like Damn!

Primal Mike also had a very rapidly expanding stomach that could result in ..um..popping Shocked

My video is almost complete. Look forward to seeing what you guys think.
In one sense I agree with Akos. Hes got a point. but Humor is such a bigger seller when it comes to Viral videos, which is why Korg would want it in there. The internet is held together by stupid nonsense thats funny.
My vid has a pretty good crossbreed of serious, noble but also a mix of humor.
Will post when its ready Smile

You should be in a hurry - IF the number of views counts.

I am hurrying as much as I can! Smile But I'm not worried about views. I should be able to get more than enough in the time left.

Hey fellas,
Finally got my vid done and ready.
But it really sucks cause the View counter is frozen and won't count any more! Sad Sad :'(
What they said is that I need more hits to get it to keep working. If you could pass it along that'd be wonderful! Smile

That was crazy, but good! I especially liked the music and sounds. Editing was tight, too. Definitely a contender.
