CONTEST: Make A Rachel Goodrich Music Video + Win $500!

by Lolo

Hey filmmakers – we’re excited to announce a new nationwide contest! Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to create a new video for “Light Bulb” by local all-star Rachel Goodrich. She’s been touring all over, had the song used in a national Crayola commercial and is making waves with her shake-a-billy sound but she needs more videos!

Listen to the track and hopefully little light bulbs of inspiration will be hovering over your heads… Then animate it, act it, or otherwise create some visual accompaniment for the song. When you’re all done, just upload it to YouTube, tag it Rachel Goodrich, Light Bulb, Miami, and Sweat Records, and then send the link to info@sweatrecordsmiami.com.

Deadline for all entries is February 17th. The winning video will be announced on the blog Friday, February 19th. The winner will receive $500 and a premiere of the video at Sweat Records when Rachel plays an acoustic in-store on February 20th! Not to mention getting your work viewed and enjoyed by thousands of people on the ‘net.

Now, download the song below and make Rachel a masterpiece (or just download it and enjoy a free track!)

500 bucks? lol. Jesus Christ, Hell, i guess- take advantage of the recession, why not? Everyone’s more desperate for cash. Next time at least, at the very least-$1000. come on, we’re not that stupid. good luck getting the video you need.

Hey Vic, here is our tiny violin. We’ve looked around sites like onlinevideocontests.com and while some huge companies like Binaca offer $7,500 to make them a corporate sales ad, there are many contests that offer either nothing or less than $500. We think it’s great to offer an incentive to create something on behalf of a local artist, and so far we’ve heard from a lot of people who are working on video because they are inspired by the music and not just trying to make money. It’s up to you which contests you decide to enter so don’t hate, just start thinking of ways to sell that breath spray.

it is a very inspiring song and I totally enjoy working in it, and because of that and the fun, it was worth my weekend post-production time. Enjoy it.
