Because cubing is international - video idea. I need your help

[kurtaz]

Hi guys,

EDIT

Please let me know in a comment, if you have sent a video to me. I'll write a list about the videos i received.

First of all, sorry for my poor English.

I have an idea. I decided yesterday to make a video which proves that cubing is international. I've seen a video from Russia, but that wasn't global (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oejrCl8SvWY).
Like this. You stand in front of a monument of your home town, you throw the cube high (out of the screen), slove it and than throw it away. Simple.
I do not want to steal Ivan's idea, i just couldn't find any global videos like this. So the video will look like a combination of the russian video and this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlfKdbWwruY

So, i REALLY need your help, because i need short videos.

What should you do?

- Stand in front of a famous monument of yout town. If there is no, just be creative. For an example stand on a balcony, than someone throws the cube up to you, you catch it, solve it and throw down. Or be imeginative.

- Throw your cube up, or ask someone to throw it to you from the right/left side, it's nevermind. Than catch it.

- Solve the cube.

- Throw the cube away. Nevermind where (up, left, right, it depends on you.)

- Please record it with an HD camcoder, because i can't do anything with bad quility videos.

- And the most important thing is: BE FUNNY. Nobody wants to watch a boring video. You can show your country's stereotypes (but don't be rude), or just catch the cube while you're jumping into a swimming pool. Be creative.

- Send the video to me. with large file finders, which you can find on google.

- And please send your location and your first name.

Hope you guys help me.

Thank you very much, Mark from Hungary.

This is a VERY neat idea. Next time I go into to town I will be sure to make my video!

 

[Veerexx]

Hopefully I can actually get around to doing this
I am quite slow at solving right now though >.>
If I was to try and speed up different parts, would that be cool???

EDIT: I'm Australian btw :3

 

[NevinsCPH]

Might join the fun.

 

[kcl]

I'm in! FYI all americans, I CALL filming in front of Mcdonalds.

 

[kurtaz]

Thank you guys very much. I doesn't matter if you are not fast, i can speed it up.

 

[Ross The Boss]

sweet, i'll totally do this.

 

[Kian]

Sure. I will do this this week.

 

[KongShou]

tempting to do one during a harlem shake whlist doing the gangnam style dance.

 

[Tong Haiwu]

sounds good,i want take part in

This is a great idea. Most people can easily recognize a city monument better than some random living room. I can probably get a video in Chicago, perhaps a good view of some sky scrapers.

Nice! Only normal solves, or is a BLD solve welcome, too? Would take like 25-30 seconds without memorization and about 1 minute with memorization. Normal solve about 10-15 seconds.

Greetings, Dennis

normal solves, please.

Anyway, thanks to everyone.

Nice.
It's the video I wanted to make 10 years ago.
Slightly different: 1 normal solve, each people performing a few moves of the solve starting from previous state. One world, one cube, one solve.
Throw the cube very fast almost horizontaly, so you can maybe insert an animation of cube flying through the clouds/low orbit between shots.
It has to be fast and dynamic.

Good luck.

this is a nifty idea, if i ever get the chance to take the train into DC i'll definately try to get a video of a solve

When do you plan on finishing the video? I got an idea but I will be able to do it in a few weeks

I live in Rio I wish it wasnt so expensive to go up to the Christ redentor I would do it there but even though I dont have a HD cam.
Eedit: I can see it out the window if I manage to get my camera working I will definetly do it. For not so quick cubers like me I average 50 seconds you could just mix and undo it

 

[Razorcube]

Ill gladly do this

 

[Razorcube]

So I could do one in a tea room where people are having tea and scones. (Cos im english)

It's a very good idea, but firstly i want to see that how its work (how many people can send me a video, how can i put the whole thing together etc.). If it works fine, than i think we can accomplish your idea together.

When do you plan on finishing the video? I got an idea but I will be able to do it in a few weeks

when i get enough videos. No idea, really. This is the first time i'm trying to make a video like this.
