Hello all, this is Toren, tonmo.com frequenter and lead singer for the Lovecraftian rock band, The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets. In a few days I'll be released to the interweb one of the tracks of our forthcoming album "The Shadow Out of Tim." The track is called "A Marine Biologist" and it is, well, about bathyscaphes, benthic trawlers, architeuthis, etc.
I would like to create a video for this track that essentially features marine biologists from across the globe. The idea would simply be a series of video clips of marine biologists doing what they (you?) do, with text at the bottom of the screen detailing who it is we're looking at, their location and specialty. So, for example, if we got a clip of Dr O'Shea, it would read:
DR. STEVEN O'SHEA
AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND (and/or specific institution)
SPECIALTY: THE GIANT SQUID
The footage doesn't need to be created from scratch just for the video - I'm perfectly happy with any video of any quality where it's clear who the marine biologist is, and that he/she/you are in their element - whether that be in the lab, on site, in the water...whatever.
So the entire video would be like a profile of worldwide marine biologists set to the most rockin' song you've heard in a long time (and I will tell you where you can download the song within probably 48 hours). Hopefully the video would appear on various music/TV shows--MTV, Muchmusic, and their equivalents, but at the very least it would go out throughout the internet, youtube, on our site, and into your hands as well to do with as you wish.
To make this happen - I need your cooperation!
If you are a marine biologist and want to help out would you:
a) contact me at [email protected] and we can work out how to get video footage from you
b) provide a statement that you give permission for The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets to use the footage and your likeness strictly for the purpose of this music video
c) see also (d) below!
If you are not a marine biologist, can you please
d) spread this around to any marine biologists you know, or anyone you think might know a marine biologist!
THANKS SO MUCH - if we can get this done I think it would be really fun!
