Voices needed ASAP

dokidoki · Post by **dokidoki** » Mon Jan 07, 2008 1:27 am

For the DIY Video Summit, curators have been asked to make introductory videos with a given script. The video's due really soon (Jan.10), but I was hoping to get a variety of voices (male and female) to read the following so I can pick and choose fragments to set to scenes that I can find before then.

What is Do-It-Yourself Video?
DIY video surrounds us 24/7.
DIY video is a camera in your pocket.
DIY video doesn't ask permission.
DIY video corrects the identities of the powers that be.
DIY video builds friendships and communities.
DIY video makes culture by appropriating culture.
DIY video is youth voice.
DIY video empowers the margins to shout out to the world.
DIY video tells our stories about the media we love.
DIY video doesn't believe in gatekeepers.
DIY video is a desktop revolution for independent artists.
DIY video knocks down walls and builds bridges.
DIY video is the media we make on our own terms.

And if I could also get a female voice to read the following, that would be great. I only need one so if you submit one please post here saying so.

Machinima is short for "machine cinema." It uses video game graphics technology to make animation within a real time virtual 3D environment. Machinima takes many forms: makers can film what's happening in game worlds, choreograph scenes using game players and sets, or hack game engines to make new visual effects.

Anime Music Videos, or AMVs for short, remix Japanese animation with different soundtracks, usually popular Western music. AMVs are about anime fans telling their own story using the visual material of Japanese popular culture.

Vidding is grassroots filmmaking where found footage, usually television shows or movies, is edited to music. These "vids" or "songvids," comment on, critique, or otherwise interpret the originals.

Political Remix is a way for creators to change the meaning of mainstream videos to talk back to commercial media and power. Remixers repurpose messages and twist them back on themselves to challenge, transform or subvert the system that created them.

Today's activist media borrows from previous generations of film and video activism, but has been revitalized by the new possibilities of digital cameras, editing and distribution systems. Media activists can now compete with corporate news sources in telling their side of the story about issues, events and movements.

Videoblogging or "vlogging" can be defined as publishing video on a blog, though some videobloggers would more broadly describe it as simply personal, diy, online video. In 2004, videoblogging broke down the barriers to traditional video distribution inspiring the widespread virus that is online video.

Please email CD-quality WAVs (or links to same) to timpark@gmail.com.
Thank you.

Question: when we're saying the script. so we say "diy" or "do it yourself"

Just "DIY". (except for the first line where it's spelled out)

Dear Doki Doki Productions,

I am sorry to see you have succumbed to the notion that voice actors are still a necessity in the new digital INTERNUT world. Please join the dark side. You will find assistance at the below links.
