I'm cobbling together my own novelty anti-war message video.
I need the following:
- Footage of a decisive or aggressive George Bush (as opposed to the blinky deer in the headlights look)
- Footage of troops preparing for war (all contemporary color footage, preferably desert fatigues)
- Footage of marching troops.(again with the color, modern stuff)
- Footage of protestors preparing for protests (modern, preferably actual protestors for this situation)
- Footage of largescale protests, especially marching.
- Footage of UN diplomats looking cranky
The problem is, I'm not much of a TV watcher and I get HORRIBLE reception. So, while most of this stuff is exactly what's on TV right now, I'm having a hard time getting anything very useable out of my local, crappy stations.
The novelty factor is what I'm going to edit/put a new video track to. I'm slowly getting bits and pieces, but I'm unhappy with the quality and just generally lame content I'm coming up with. I'm either grabbing it off the web, or via tv which is amazingly sparse if you don't have a totally dedicated news channel like a CNN to tap into. I suppose I could pay a news service for some footage, but that would add up really fast, and they don't let you preview footage like a stock footage house would.
Pmail if you want to help. I'll disclose more details, if you're interested.
I snooped around on the web quite a bit. Best thing I picked up were vids from the whitehouse.gov site of Bush talking to troops, but the quality is sketchy.
