The RPM Challenge

(Thursday, 17 April 2008) Written by Helen Sventitsky

I've been following the Twitterings of "BuckHollywood" lately, and today, he informed his followers of one of YouTube's Featured Videos of the day - a young man daring users to describe their life in 6 six words as it's happening right now.

Even though I'm a bit old/not emo enough to do this thing, I thought it was a rather cool meme, and I thought I'd try it myself. So, with apologies to Bob Dylan...

This will probably be the closest thing I will get to a music video (or maybe not). It seems that I may have missed the concept, and since the video is a rather blatant attempt at promoting my CD (rather obviously at the end), the person to whom I'm responding will probably kick my efforts to the curb. But still, I thought it was a good try and it only took me an hour to do.

Thoughts?

I really like it! Woud like to see the same concept with you sitting in the forefront of a busy room or a busy street, holding up the words that are also echoed in the lyrics. Think that would be perfectly acceptable as a video!

Thank you, Sister. That sounds like a great idea! The comments I\'ve gotten on it were rather positive (though one guy said it reminded him of that INXS video from the late \'80\'s, which was also borrowed It\'s concept from Bob Dylan\'s Subterrenean Homesick Blues video, er, film from the mid-60\'s.). One day I\'ll have to haul the hubster around and see what we can do around town. ;)
