Campaign or lose: guide for creative patriots
ERB has prepared a plan of actions for young and creative agitators and patriots. Do you like drawing? Singing? Making videos? Look how others do it!
JibJab - two students, brothers Evan and Gregg Spiridellis, have been entertaining Americans with their productions for more than 10 years. For example, here is their video Time For Some Campaignin' watched by almost 3.5 million people all over the world
and a joking video about Barack Obama being a superman with practically the same number of views:
Making fine videos about elections is easy: you can start with a home video and you do not need a special studio or production experience. Elections may be a good reason to start a career. It can look like this:
You can teach some peculiarities of the local language to foreigners thanks to elections like an American team FunEasyEnglish did. Cartoon characters explain the difference between “erection” and “election” and inform viewers about US presidential contenders. Another creative team FunBugs also created a propaganda video for the US presidential election in 2008:
Daft the Vote – this is the title of the next pre-election video made by a creative American team. All they did was covering their bodies with the lyrics of the songs, putting on foil boxes on their heads and dancing half-naked in front of a camera.
Here is a successful example of a political cover version of a well-known funny song (in this case it is a famous music video Lama Song). It was turned into “Obama Song”:
If you are a patriot fond of animation you can make an election video similar to the one created by Poles on the eve of this year’s election in their country:
Here’s a wonderful video. It is a joke because the candidate does not exist: it was created by a KVN team "Dasistfak":
If you bad at working with montage and animation software but are good at singing and playing musical instruments, you can try making a music video in support of your candidate like musicians from the Congo did:
If you are good at talking quickly and can say funny things, you could become a Belarusian Fred as the number of the overseas Fred’s views and “likes” leads all the records. For example, the guy describes an election of a class President at school:
If you are good at using your camera, know the basics of montage and are anxious about your country’s future, you can speculate on your video’s trashiness. It was planned to be a Russian deputy’s agitation video:
For amateurs: we have found a collection of dramatic music for voting on the Internet:
Choose your way and ACT, the Belarusian agitation campaign has already begun!
