I was wondering if anyone here would have an interest in making a Coldplaying fan lip-sync video?

 

Like the one Oasis fans did here:

If there is sufficient interest, we could decide on a song. I was thinking a fairly popular non-single like Warning Sign or similar and post it on the Coldplaying Youtube channel. Someone would have to compile the clips and sync with the music because I have absolutely no editing skills :P

 

If you honestly think this is a stupid idea tell me. It's only a thought/suggestion

 

*This isn't my in-genius plan to see what you all look like.

I like this idea!

Very good idea! Similar to what Atlas Project has been doing but with a twist. I'm patenting this idea for Coldplaying Ian, if your reading :laugh3:

 

Do you have the editing skills to do this then? When the first song from AHFOD is revealed, I can get the word out, make announcements etc.. if you want to give this a go :)

I like this idea! [emoji4]

 

"I live to see the world"

Great idea! I'd say don't hold back, go for a classic hit/single like Yellow or The Scientist, a track that most people are familiar with :)

But we want people to know their lesser known songs, which are often better than the singles [emoji6]

 

"I live to see the world"

The Scientist would be good :)

Iunno, the thing about what ColdplayAtlas did is that it was more a reaction video; quick and simple. If you're looking to do a lip-sync, you'd have to hope you can decipher the lyrics in a timely manner (assuming you wanna release your video in a timely manner after getting the song, decipher the lyrics, have everyone learn the lyrics, shoot the video, edit the videos, etc).

 

OP's original idea to choose an existing song has its own problems. Just seems like it isn't attached to a particular event in Coldplay's calendar. Just a project to keep yourselves busy. Anywho, I would personally choose a more upbeat song (Clocks, Viva, Paradise, ASFOS) than a slow one like the one's suggested so far (The Scientist, Yellow, Warning Sign).

Oxfam actually did something similar with an acoustic version of In My Place:

Doesn't have to be attached to anything Coldplay official at all, just a fan tribute.

I wish they were 'quick and simple' to make, haha. I spent hours on those things!

Good reccomendation on Viva, with some good editing, I can imagine it looking great with the "owahoh's" towards the end. I think that track/video would go down quite well.

^ Sorry, meant to say relatively quick compared to this current plan,

Lets do a b-side! [emoji2][emoji106]

Well, I'm just an outsider to this project, but seems to me you need

 

a) an editor

b) a song decided on

 

without which this project has no legs. I think the interest will come once you have those things solid. I suggest a poll to at least get point b down, and snoop around for an editor.

Sony Vegas, man. I got you there already.

 

Songs? idk.

What about Brothers & Sisters?

 

"I live to see the world"

A Poll would be needed to pick the song I think, there will be no consensus in discussion on a thread. Even then you're still going to need at least some criteria (B Side, non single, from a certain album etc) or else the sample size will be absolutely massive.
