Initial Ideas / Inspiration

When I first found we were making our own music videos, I began to scan youtube for inspiration and songs to fit my ideas.

Fatboy Slims, Champion Sound has always been a favorite. Though the song has more or less nothing to do with the sound, the domino effect video has no narrative but has been viewed by over 20,000 people. The video also challenges the conventional themes of typical music videos, rather than having tri-pods or special effects, this video was filmed by two girls on camcorders following the maze of videos, dvds, sweets etc. You can also hear them laughing while the song is playing.



My idea was inspired by this feel good video. The original idea was to line up every student in the school and create a giant mexican wave throughout the video, however, I did wonder how I was going to pull this off or even make it long enough to last the duration of the song.

Though we have to use an unsigned artist this year, I still hope to follow Fatboy Slims example by creating a video without a general narrative with a 'feel good' tune in the background.

Champion Sound Lyrics

Anybody lost looking to get found
Know it when they hear the champion sound
Works like a magnet on the people all around
Know it when they hear the champion sound
Anybody loving music up in your town
Know it when they hear the champion sound
Love it when they hear the champion sound
Need it when they hear the champion: “Watch Out!”
We’ve made tragedy, ripped up sporadically and (4X)
Gimme ride at the party with the bump full of Pearl (3X)
You can’t remain hit and we detect your identity
Anybody lost looking to get found
Know it when they hear the champion sound
Works like a magnet on the people all around
Know it when they hear the champion sound
Anybody loving music up in your town
Know it when they hear the champion sound
Love it when they hear the champion sound
Need it when they hear the champion: “Look Out!”
They they they ??? goes around the world and (4X)
And her true women they cried gradually (3X)
Do your soul grow by holding no
lost looking to get found
Know it when they hear the champion sound
Works like a magnet on the people all around
Know it when they hear the champion sound
Anybody loving music up in your town
Know it when they hear the champion sound
Love it when they hear the champion sound
Need it when they hear the champion
Bugger back to collect the due wanted by (2X)
And then whoever try to disrespect a mighty good time
Or a mighty good rhyme with a fight for the mind
Fresher than pine, or lemon-lime Pledge
Listen and rewind it rebel pirates band at highest
Try this skit trampled by the stampeding feet of the fansin the crowd screaming: “Yo, that’s Lateef! MaROON!”
That boy Slim on the tuneRally round it if you’re strong
Throw your arms to the moon, c’mon
Anybody lost looking to get found
Know it when they hear the champion sound
Works like a magnet on the people all around
Know it when they hear the champion sound
Anybody loving music up in your town
Know it when they hear the champion sound
Love it when they hear the champion sound
Need it when they hear the champion: “Watch Out!”
