Please help plan 'Gotta Serve Somebody" by Bob Dylan vi

Post by DyloniusFunk » Thu Jul 14, 2005 7:38 pm

Hello. I need help with planning a video. First of all let me say that this is my first attempt at a video, and that i do plan to enter this into the PortConMaine Vid contest next year. I knopw it's probably a bad idea entering a first time work but i still plan to anyway. That said i needed an idea on an origional video. That said, i listened to a bunch of songs and downloaded a bunch of vids. I narrowed it down to doing either a Eva video to Blues Traveler "The Mountains Win Again". A friend of mine said that while it might be a good vid, Eva vids are not very origional. So i gave it some more thought. I listened to some more CD's and found a intersting song on my copy of The Sopraons First Season OST, "Gotta Serve Someone" by Bob Dylan. I liked the flow of the song, and it seemed to be a better song to use, since the lyrics seemed more locked in place and not as free flowing as the other songs i heard. So now i have a song and need to pick clips to match them.

Here are the song lyrics with my ideas for characters in parantheses)
You may be an ambassador to England or France
You may like to gamble,(Cowboy Bebop) you might like to dance(Training sequence,Angelic Layer)
You may be the heavyweight champion of the world(Dragonball Z, Yu Yu Hakusho)
You may be a socialite with a long string of pearls(Fugiko?)

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You're gonna have to serve somebody,
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody.

You might be a rock 'n' roll addict prancing on the stage,(Priss BGC 2040)
You might have drugs at your command(Bloody Eye Guy,Cowboy Bebop), women in a cage,
You may be a business man(Sakyo) or some high degree thief(Lupin),
They may call you Doctor(Hatori) or they may call you Chief(Icchan)

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You're gonna have to serve somebody,
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody.

You may be a state trooper, you might be a young Turk,
You may be the head of some big TV network,
You may be rich or poor, you may be blind or lame,
You may be living in another country under another name

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You're gonna have to serve somebody,
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody.

You may be a construction worker working on a home(Pedro),
You may be living in a mansion(Chiy-Chan's house) or you might live in a dome(Cowboy Bebop),
You might own guns and you might even own tanks,
You might be somebody's landlord, you might even own banks

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You're gonna have to serve somebody,
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody.

You may be a preacher with your spiritual pride,(Miroku)
You may be a city councilman taking bribes on the side(Councilman from Sakura Taisen movie),
You may be workin' in a barbershop, you may know how to cut hair,
You may be somebody's mistress, may be somebody's heir

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You're gonna have to serve somebody,
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody.

Might like to wear cotton, might like to wear silk(Ayame),
Might like to drink whiskey, might like to drink milk,
You might like to eat caviar, you might like to eat bread(Tomo's bread scene),
You may be sleeping on the floor, sleeping in a king-sized bed

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You're gonna have to serve somebody,
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody.

You may call me Terry, you may call me Timmy,
You may call me Bobby, you may call me Zimmy,
You may call me R.J., you may call me Ray,
You may call me anything but no matter what you say

You're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You're gonna have to serve somebody.
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody.
I have a few ideas of what i want but a lot of the song has no clips yet. Soi what i need are either ideas of clips to put in the holes, or ideas of what to replace what i've come up with. I will listent o any ideas, and am asking for any. And i also would like to know if you think i should cut the last verse and the last chorus. It seemes like all the names might be hard to match with anime characters. But even if i get rid of those two, i still have six Devil-Lord combos to come up with for the chorus. Here are a few pairings i've come up with.
Devil-Lord Combos

Gendo-Yui
Akito-Tohru
Icchan-Misaki's Mom
Toguro-Koenma
Yukari-Nyamo
Orochimaru-3rd Hokage
So please, let me know what you think, and if you have ideas or comments, please let me know. I want to make this a great video, and i really think i can. This is a song not on the site, so i figure it'll stand out. Also let me just say what i have to work with.
Yu Yu Hakusho Dark Tournament
Evangelion Platinum 1-7 and Manga movies
Sakura Taisen OVA, OVA 2, Movie, TV, and Sumire
Gunparade March Volume 1
Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040
Angelic Layer 1-3
Azumanga Daioh 1
Samurai Champloo 1 and 2

Since i can't edit, let me add on that while thoise anime i mentioned are ones i own, i do have access to others through a rental store and my school library. So don't let that list affect your suggestions.
