Fandom needs you! Yes, YOU!

Ok, so here's the deal.
I'm making a promo trailer for the next year's BigBang challenge, and frankly? I'm at a loss.
I was thinking about it since summer, and though I did come up with the idea, I still can't choose the song for it, and it's kinda big, you know? So I really don't want to screw up. So I thought, that, maybe, if I do it for fandom, fandom should pick up what it wants? *winks*

Choose the song you would like to hear in the trailer. Below I made a list of the songs that're for me associated with the whole thing. There's a few songs that were already been vidded, even by myself, but it's like never-ending story, you know? Those ones can never get old.
And also I made an option for your own choice, because I still didn't make up my mind and I'm always open for suggestions.

PLEASE spread it to your LJs, comms, etc, because world needs to know about it and I need help *puppy eyes*

it's hard to choose))

CHOOSE! :D

Dude, I have a list of several Imogen Heap/Frou Frou songs that I associate with Sam n' Dean. Canvas, Speeding Cars...Not Now But Soon is one of my all time favorite season 1-3 SPN song associations. It's kind of awesome...

Annnd now I'm rambling!

Hey! Don't be afraid to ramble ;)

I haven't heard those ones, maybe you can upload them for me? :)

I can definitely do that, for now I'm going to link you to you tube stuff but when I get home tonight I'll make a little song bundle for you. :)

This is Speeding Cars (which makes me think of a lot of things but mostly Mary and Dean)

This is Canvas (which makes me think of Sam and Dean in 4th season) This inspired me to draw some SPN fanart that's tucked in my journal a week or so back...Love this song!

Not Now but Soon (always makes me think of both the sweet and horrifying moments in SPN)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQRqaq3AwiI

I hadn't really thought in terms of J2 for those but Imogen has some one song called 'say goodnight and go' that makes me think of J stalking J which in turn makes me want to scold my brain...

(I'm going to upload the live version of that song for you because it's amazing live...)

Haha, dude, more rambling from me! But I'm so glad you don't mind. If you liked Frou Frou you'll love Immy's solo stuff, she's amazing.

Woa, speeding cars is so cool! And yes, it's definitely Mary and Dean. ♥

Not now but soon is nice, too, I really liked the lyrics :)

Canvas is kinda dark, but, you in angsty dark-is way...or...you know...lol

And I know goodnight and go, of course ))) I think it would work for the video, not trailer, because the song HAS the mood you know? And maybe there's even videos for it already. But I think I need something different for the trailer *thinks*

Oh, and btw! I LOVE your art! I didn't recognize your nickname (sorry :? ) but I just went to your journal and here it is! \o/ And I saw your "Dead winter" piece a little while ago, it was rec'ed everywhere :) LOVED it!

Would you like to be friends? I kinda try to draw\paint myself, and I would really like to have artists in my flist :)

Actually, the speeding cars song I've been wanting to do an hand drawn animation + video layover sort of music video of Mary's spirit kind of watching over the boys but I fail at all things video related so I just leave it in my head. <3 I love singing along with that song.

The Not now song kind of gives me painful crunchings in my chest region. I really enjoy it.

And holy crap Canvas is dark, definitely. (lol, I think I totally missed the point of what you were going for with your trailer!)

I never thought to look if any of these songs had videos for them already! Huh, now I may need to poke around on youtube.... You have an awesome selection of music posted here already too so I'm sure you'll find something. :D

You're too sweet! Thank you! Honestly art is the only thing I can do. I fail at all other fannish things, lol. I'm very new to SPN fandom things so I don't have much art yet for the show but I'm working on it. But thank you again! Thats one of my favorite pieces I've done in a long time. <3

I would love that actually! Thank you~ :D I love chatting art with fellow artists. Now I shall have to dig through your lj to find your art. ;)

Wow, this is a neat idea! I'd LOVE to watc something you'll make it! Well, I can maybe help you with the video thing? Like, you can draw something, and we can maybe try something? :)

Well, there's no that much of an art on LJ, because I don't have time for all the things, and I make videos and art of all kinds, so....whenever inspiration strikes, I try to catch the moment :)

Oh wow, you'd really want to do something like that? I'd absolutely love to try it, I'm not sure how it would turn out but if you're sincerely interested maybe we can try doing a few short clips together and seeing how it looks? :) Let me know what you think about that, it may be a fun thing to try!

Ohh, thats cool though! And I didn't realize you'd made SO many music videos, thats so many! I'm totally amazed, thats so much work....I can't wait to watch some when I get home. :D (I'm at work now)

I know what you mean about catching the moment. Sometimes I try to write also but I never show anyone. I save my little drabbles, though, hoping it'll inspire me to draw.

Well, it's not like it's too hard for me, so if you have time and will to paint the "frames" I could definitely help you with putting them together into little movie :)

I've never done "cartoons" before, but I've always wanted. The tings is, if we're gonna make it, you need to paint a lot of almost the same pics. I have this video, it's called ,a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpM9Enfi7no">Away, and what I did for this video was that I really slowed down one whole clip and cut it to a few pieces, then put those together so the whole sing looks like it's made of stop-frames, or photos. So, in my head it'll look something like this. But then again - you'll need to draw\paint a lot of pieces. We can choose a song, a plot or a story, you know? I can cut down the song if it's too long, or if you want to make just a little musical part of it - whatever you want really :)

I've been vidding for almost 2 years now and yesterday I actually finished my 100th video :) And today I finished 101st haha It's been a long journey...:D O, let me know what you think! I'd love to get comments from you ^__^

Have you ever thought about posting your drabbles with your art? It can help viewers and readers catch the mood and the emotions better ;)

Though some of these could be considered 'angsty' or 'sad', I should mention that...Say Goodnight and Go is just...haha, totally cute but also a stalker song x 100.

Another one that is pretty intense and intimate feeling is a "Running up that Hill" cover by Icon and the Black Rose (sooo goth, lol. Not normally my kind of music but I love it) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_U7Gf4M19B0

Rambling again! Shut me up anytime...

Mmm...I liked this version of the song (though my favorite will always be by Placebo), but I think it's kinda....too creepy and dark for the trailer? I wanted to make people smile when they watch this trailer, and make them wanting to write something :)

Definitely NOT a smiling song, lol. I'll keep thinking on it then, I have a huge collection of SPN thinky songs. :) (not sure if any of my suggestions would apply for what you need!)

And the Placebo version is awesome, too. Faith and the Muse did a cool one also.

SPN thinky songs? haha n-n-n-nice)))) Well, maybe I won't find the song for the trailer among the ones you'll suggest me, but maybe I'll find something for other video? *winks*

Hmm....I haven't heard the Muse's version though oO

Haha, I was thinking that even if none of them work for what you have planned at least you'll enjoy some new songs!

I am a huge dork and I'll listen to my ipod and come up with art and concept ideas for more SPN stuff because of my wacky playlist, lol.

I think it's on youtube somewhere! Within Temptation did a cover too. :D

you may not like this song but.. it's called "closer" by Kings of Leon.

It's kinda WAY overused even for this thing :D And also it's a little bit different in musical and lyrical aspects. But thanks for the offer! ^__^

Ooh those are all lovely songs! Some I associate with other vids but hey, that was bound to happen for anyone.

I have a few songs you might like:

Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls
Only Thing by Stabbing Westward (this is one of Kay's and mine songs so if you use it, use it well! Haha *hugs*)
You and Me by Lifehouse.

I've compiled a big lovey-dovey playlist recently thus all my annoying suggestions. Whatever you choose I can't wait to see the trailer! :D

Iris I think's too....sad? I don't know...I was thinking about a little bit different mood.

I haven't heard "Only Thing", can you upload it for me hon?

You and Me IMHO too....cheesy?.. IDK.

I have an idea, and I guess the song must be....mmm....funny? A little, but also sweet and maybe with the little action in it *scratches head*

Okay. Well I hope you find what you need.

get, what you meant with bigban challenge?

SPN J2 Big Bang comm (http://community.livejournal.com/spn_j2_bigbang/profile)

mmmm then a song? Well all depend of the topic of the vid. mmm then i don´t know the songs that you put, I haven heard them and if they are in your vids I am a little lazy to go to watch theeeem allllll :o soooo mmmm "in this together" by apocalyptica (if it is right) and if it is more slow mmmm jesus

lorena mackennit all souls night

Heh I think Apocalyptica would be too strong for tat kind of the video :P

So, how is your vid, it is slow, fast or how is it?

Shiny Toy Guns for the win! ^_____^
♥ ♥ ♥

\o/
Thanks for voting :)

I'd recommend "At War With The World" (Foreigner) or "Holy Water" (Bad Company) or "One Man, One Heart" (Kansas).

Mmmm....I think these songs are more like...you know, angsty spn-ish? But then again I haven't heard these [articular ones. Can you maybe upload them for me? :)

Russian dolls -story one

The red paintings - You're Not One Of Them

Can you maybe upload these songs for me please? :)

It's so hard to choose! O_o And even if I can choose something and put it, again so hard to choose. But everything with Frou Frou dazzles me if you don't like my answer. ;)

hehe ok then) I still am not sure which one I'll use :P

Whatever you choose, I'm sure that you'll make it great. :)

Hellogoodbye - Here In Your Car
by the way, I choose this one :P:P

Loki, you're amazing, thank you for all the support and everything you helped me, I know I'm less experienced but if you need something, just ring on me :P:P

Adore you !

Thanks for voting :)

Welcome, I'm glad to help *.*

Well, it looks like you have your choice, and I'm definitely late to the vote...but I've always liked Winter Sun by Dishwalla. It makes me think of Sam/Dean everytime I hear it. Love to see you do a vid to it some day. I haven't seen many vids to it, but I am rather new to this fandom as wel.. thx! =)

I still haven't started! So you're not late ;)

And I love Winter sun, too! Though I always thought this song is more SPN that something in between. I haven't seen ANY vids to this song, and actually I was thinking about a vid for it, but somehow I didn't :\
