Lover Official Music Video Contest

[Fish Tacos]

Now for this contest, do we send written suggestions or an actual prototype-like video?

An actual video. You're not getting $4,200 for an idea, and unless I misread something, it's not a prototype but rather the final product.

it would suck if no one did this lol

Or one guy sends in one and it's really crappy, and it wins by default.

Photography and other art contests are a tough thing in that the most talented artists may not want to give up rights to their work or do it as cheaply as fans or those just starting out. But as said above it could be a great chance for exposure for someone. Going to send it to some photographers I know.

Ryan, it doesn't say it can't be a lyric video, does it?

[Ryan]

Not that I read.

[agny]

So JaredWard, go for it!

[Andy92]

Actually I don't think it specifies. Could possibly send in a lyric video. Worst they could do is not pick it.

[AllC392Was]

I met someone who was involved in making a video but I doubt that it will be any good

[RavishingRik]

I know they give the closing date for the contest but does anyone know when 'Lover' would be due to drop as a single?

[anguyen92]

Hmmm, interesting. How often does that "sit still while a sea of people pass you by" effect work in videos in general?

[AllC392Was]

I think it could work. But I would like to see the rest of the video to see what happens next

[nagpo]

I don't see how it relates to the lyrics

[Andy92]

Guess it's showing loneliness? Would have to see the rest of the video to know if it's any good.

[zazthespaz]

Bet they can't use it since I'm willing to bet all those walking by didn't consent to be recorded and you can see their faces

[anguyen92]

Awwww, I'm so slow. I didn't see that the people were walking backwards in the video. Does that mean anything to you guys?

[zazthespaz]

Awwww, I'm so slow. I didn't see that the people were walking backwards in the video. Does that mean anything to you guys?

Maybe you're dyslexic?

[anguyen92]

Awwww, I'm so slow. I didn't see that the people were walking backwards in the video. Does that mean anything to you guys?

Maybe. I don't know. I did have a dream that when I reversing out of my house, I accidentally pull the lever to drive and went into my garage that was closed. I can't recall what happened afterwards.

[GazEd]

Nicey. Wanna see the full vid. Hope, we are getting to watch if at least a couple is shot.


Would be good for the viewers to chose if there are several vids released.

[anguyen92]

The viewers may have poor taste and choose the wrong one. I say the judging process should be something like 50/50 though.

Not sure if this has been posted on here elsewhere but thought it might be worth enlightening those of you who haven't yet seen the first 'Lover' video entry that Genero have put on their website:

http://genero.tv/watch-video/38244#

Looks like they will be updating the page as more entries come in. Anyway, regarding the video, I think it's very creative and tells a good story, as well as leaving the viewer with a bit of a mystery.

Well worth a watch methinks Would be interested to other people's views on it?
