30.4.08 Bands: Fancy An Experimental Scratch/Destroyed Print Music Video?

I found this treasure trove of old 35mm film print reels on eBay. Now, I have a 35mm still neg/slide scanner that should work with movie film (but only 35! not 16!). I rather fancy taking one or more of those reels, splicing them together, painting over them, scratching designs/crude animations in them, burning them et cetera... then scanning and loading them into Final Cut to put some band footage over/under - basically, making quite an experimental and abstract-expressionist music video.

(But still with some band footage in there. Just... distorted, probably. Or I'd get a friend to create drawn/animations of the band to lay over top.)

Any bands out there fancy this as a music video? If so, email/contact me. It would be quite experimental and somewhat 60s/psychedelic. Also, somewhat disturbing.

Note: Not free! Could be quite cheap (sub £1,000) if you just pay materials (the film prints) and fees for animation or band photography, AND you're willing to wait a couple months for me to finish it - AND I think you're a band worth doing something for. But if you need the video quick for a single release date, I'll have to charge you for my time. Like they say, you can have it cheap and good, or you can have it quick and good, but you can't have all three.

Hi Alex

I've been doing some design work for a band that will be entering their debut album lauch and promotion phase very soon. Here's their recently launched website which is still under heavy development...

And here's their MySpace page where you can listen to some song samples...

I know Paul, the LongSpoon main man, wants to get a video made sometime soon. If you think they're a band worth doing something for then post a reply comment and I'll contact you via email.
