Blue Monday

Post by [JiF]War Trophy »

Whoohoo!! my band finished work on our cover version of New Orders' song "Blue Monday" which they released in 1983.
It's our tribute to the 80's and the electro synth pioneers of the time.

I threw the visuals together this afternoon, the usual randomness lol and me being a silly plonker for the camera if you keep your eyes peeled!

Brick, I get some footage from Google.vid - many clips are available for download, but mostly I use http://www.archive.org
They have a mind-blowingly huge collection of open source media that is free to use under Creative Commons Licensing (share-and-share-alike). Because their archive is so massive it can take a while to search for what you need, but the beauty of it is you can use it for non-profit projects and in many cases there are no restrictions for commercial use.

PS this site ( http://www.archive.org ) has archived pretty much everything that has ever been published on the internet. You can even find web pages for the earliest JiF forums in it's infancy :D

Great modern twist on a classic of my younger years. As Gav said, you did justice to the song.

Great work and nice vid too.

Actually Brick, you have a keen eye. The spaceship shots WERE from Lost In Space, and the cyclops giant too.
Incoming fire has the right of way!
