Have you got this amazing video that you want to share with the world?

What if you could match the video to some original music?

What if we all collaborated and promoted our video/music together?

I've got some music that needs videos - at least 13 of them. 

The Elemental album is a mix of intrumental and vocal tracks covering a wide range of styles, each inspired by one of Earth, Wind, Fire & Water - plus a sci-fi bonus track.

Here's the deal

• You Pledge against one (or more) of the 13 tracks on this album Elemental (as anything)
• When the campaign funds, you send me a download link to your video (HD please) 
• I will add my music as the soundtrack to the video and publish to YouTube
• I will create a playlist with each submitted video in the tracklist order below
• I will promote the playlist on Facebook and YouTube with the funds raised here
• I will credit you in the video
• I will only use the video for the playlist
• You can share my video link to promote your video as well

Some rules

• You must own the rights to the video you submit
• The content must be related to the song
• The content must comply with YouTube standards (##)
• Please keep the video length as close to the song length as you can - I'll edit accordingly if required
   
  (##) No nudity, extreme violence, hate, general bad taste stuff :)

The playlist order

1. Eruption - progressive rock instrumental
2. Mountains - vocal ballade
3. Forest - folky/jazzy feel instrumental
4. Storm - Orchestral instrrumental
5. Clouds - pop/jazz vocal ballad
6. Zephyr - synthy instrumental ballad
7. Fire - hard rocking progressive metal instrumental
8. Agni - Hindi/western cross over vocal
9. Dance of the Embers - vocal pop ballad
10. River - Piano/Electric instrumental
11. Rain - Blues vocal
12. Waves - Surf rock instrumental
13. Spacetime - spacey, warpy, electro instrumental

The net proceeds of the successfully funded campaign will be spent on a mix of Facebook and YouTube advertising to promote a single YouTube playlist of submitted videos with added soundtracks.

A range of related keywords and interest groups will be targetted to promote theo playlist.

All costs for the completed album have been funded separately and the complimentry digital download for video submitters is no cost to the project.

The main challenges I see are:

- selling each video just once is a limitation, but I think the topics are broad enough to get appeal.

- ensuring copyright compliance for the submitted videos
