Okay, flist...

I've got a few L&C vid ideas that have been sitting on my "to-do" list for quite a while now. I have general ideas of what to do with them, but just haven't been able to motivate myself to actually get started.

What should I do about that?

Post the song titles here (perhaps in an flocked post) and see what you guys think?

Pass the suggestions along, see if anyone feels like doing them?

Try working with someone (and seeing if I can get them to do all the heavy clip-finding work... ;) )?

Leave them on the "to-do" list, and see if I ever find the motivation?

Forget about them?

Something else? (And no, sorry, "Just knuckle down and do them!" is not an option.)

Any thoughts/suggestions?

Can't give you a proper advice on that as I'm suffering from the same. There are two songs that I'd like to do, I started a trailer some weeks ago and there's a half-done song sitting on my hard drive for more than half a year now :(

So... if you find a good solution, I'm always glad to hear it ;)

(yes, that was a completely unnecessary comment... just wanted to show that I read it and, well, made up my mind and came up with... nothing ;))

lol, well, I seem to have found a solution of sorts. Mentioned the ideas to Lara, and she liked 2 of them. The other two, well... For now, I posted them to the boards. We'll see what comes of that.

So, basically, as Garfield once said... "Never put off 'til tomorrow what you can have someone else do for you today." ;)

And hey, it's not an unnecessary comment. Always nice to know someone's reading and interested.

So... what are you working on? Wanna talk about it?

Hehe, *love* the quote (well, I love Garfield ;))!

And, ooooh - I really like the Savage Garden one... haven't heard the song before but the lyrics look promising :D
And, you know... this is really mean... I'm already so fed up with my own uncreativity, I shouldn't look in a thread with new challenges... stupid me!

Beware, the songs going on and on in my head are all *very* girly...
There's "Come to my window" by Melissa Etheridge... and I try to tell myself that the beautiful song is not the only reason I wanna do this but also because it could make a nice vid. Just not really convinced yet :P
Furthermore "Bitch" by Meredith Brooks would be really cool. It's already been done (by Andrea if I'm not mistaken)... and normally I'm not really a fan of re-doing a song. But I love it and it's just so Lois ;)

And there's "How am I supposed to live without you" by Michael Bolton which I started to work on with Lara... in September I think... ahum... I didn't really go past the first verse. And it bugs me because I think it could be all sweet and waffy and sickenly romantic and stuff.

BTW, I meant to ask a couple of times now but always forgot: Do you have some instant messenger? I'm pretty attached to MSN but certainly able to be flexible :)

Garfield was pretty good, back in the day. :)

Savage Garden? Well, I was already mean enough to encourage Cat on that one, so I'll ever so subtlety encourage you, too... ;)

"Come To My Window" is a good one. And I can see that working with Superman... Good thought.

Have to agree with you on Bitch, too.

Not so much a fan of Bolton. But it'd go over well with others. I think that song inspired more than its share of songfics, back in the days before vids. That and the Titanic theme...

I have AIM, mostly. What do you have other than MSN?

[schnuffichen.livejournal.com]

Very subtly indeed... ;)

I used to spend all day on ICQ and for some time I played around with Trillian which was neat when I had friends with other apps. Now about everybody is on MSN ;)
But if I don't forget, I'll try to re-animate my AIM account sometime soon :)

[pgwfolc.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I try... ;)

Ah, ICQ. I used to have that. Fell out of the habit before I picked up Trillian. I'm pretty sure the account is gone by now. But hey, if you have AIM, that works for me.

Okay... I'm really clueless with these thingies. My AIM name is papertigerbat (whoa, creativity is my middle name...), so feel free to add me :)
You may need some patience, though, I have no idea how this works.
