Ok, no video to publish this week. That is because the next video is not a Flickr video, it will be live action.

Fear not if you need a video fix though, as someone else has made a Jonathan Coulton video this week, and credited the JoCoPro as part inspiration (after Jonathan Coulton's own Flickr video, which is fair enough)

To see the video go here:

http://garrickvanburen.com/archive/the-future-soon-flickr-flick

The song is the demo version of Future Soon, and isn't quite the same style as the JoCoPro Flickr videos, where I attempt to match the images and times to the music.

Also, if you want to see a funny video go here:

Miming to the Backstreet Boys has never been so good...even better than when the Backstreet Boys were doing it!

I'm looking for some images to help with a future video.
 
The images I need to picture a metaphor of sex, i.e. a train entering a tunnel or it can be a picture that eludes to it, i.e. a twinkie though a doughnut hole.
 
These images must be under the creative commons license, they can be from Flickr, etc or your own personal pictures.
 
The pictures should not contain any actual sexual images.
 
If you send me pictures, I will assume you hold the license and are licensing me to use them under a creative commons license.

Video 2 is IKEA, a song about everyones favourite furniture store. This is another video made with pictures from Flickr.

IKEA was the first Jonathan Coulton song I heard, back in December on the Adam Curry's Daily Source Code podcast, so it has a special place in my heart.

And as always, if you like the song, make sure you send Jonathan Coulton your love with a donation on his web site.

I have been working on the next video. The next video will be IKEA. There are a suprising number of pictures for IKEA on Flickr!

The next video will be released next week.

Here are my plans for future videos:
More Flickr videos (because they are easy) - The next few will all be this style (I intend to do at least 6 in this style, although maybe not all at once)
Machinima - World of Warcraft or The Movies are options, but I will decide at a later time
Live action - I have some ideas, some are simple and some are adventurous

To expand on my live action ideas, I intend on doing one like the following video: Kareoke For The Deaf
I also wish to experiment with puppets, Stroller Town would make a good song for the Muppets to do, so I will investigate this (this is the most adventurous project, and will probably never actually happen, but I can dream)
And finally I want to do a live action video of Code Monkey

But before I can do any of the live action videos, I need a video camera, as I don't think my digital camera (which can take videos) is up to the task.

The first video to come out of the Jonathan Coulton Project is a song from Jonathan Coulton's first album 'Smoking Monkey', the song is 'Over There' and is from an American point of view, the ones that have never left their state, let alone been to Europe.

And remember if you like the song to go to Jonathan Coulton's web site and donate.

Jonathan Coulton is a musician, he creates a new song every week. His music is available to be downloaded legally for free as part of the Creative Commons licence. He encourages people to not only download his music, but give it to other people.

Jonathan Coulton also encourages people to make videos for his music, and that is where the Jonathan Coulton Project fits in. The Jonathan Coulton Project (or JoCoPro for short) will produce videos for some of Jonathan Coulton's songs.

Initially, the videos will follow a similar format that was inspired by the Flickr song. The Flickr song is a song where the video is an important part of the song. The song words are about the video, that are pictures from Flickr. To see the Flickr song click here.

For everything you could ever want to know about Jonathan Coulton, his music, the subject of his songs and even some of his better known fans (including me!) visit the Jonathan Coulton Wiki
