Played by, sung by, rapped by, and whatever else by the users here on nerdforum.org :)

I think the Robstar would be all for this.

I wouldn't mind helping with the songwriting, but singing isn't my thing.

Any contribution would be appreciated. I could play a bit of guitar (someone else would have to write it, not too great with that.) sing (badly) and even produce a bit if no one else wants to. In fact we could have a bunch of people do some writing. Yeah I figured he might be up for it, but we'll have to wait and see.

I could throw a guitar track on it or summin'.
I don't think he needs to be immortal. I think all he needs to do is to write the right story. Because some stories do live forever.

Slow is good, slow helps with quality.

We do have a good run of writers romping around here that could probably sex the hell out of writing a nerd anthem for the forum.

It is perfectly acceptable to fear and admire a being you could not possibly understand.

I can help write, but I take it I'll have to get the ball rolling musically?

Perhaps.
there are a few other musical types kicking around though.

Glad to hear it, wouldn't be much of a theme song with just one guitar.

I have another interesting idea. I've actually been pondering making a gif like this for my signature, but I think it would serve a better purpose publicly.

My idea, is we take the Fringe opening theme (It's sufficient length to put a lot of general things nerds like)

here it is:

On each separate section (you know what I mean if you watch it, where it slows down so you can read words) We would put a background that signifies a major nerd thing: One of them, anime. Another, sci-fi. Another, video games.

We would take sentences from individual things (popular movies like The Shining, we could have one that says "All Work and No Play."), and put them there.
My only request if we do this, well, I have 3 requests, in order from lowest want to highest.

Somewhere I want something representing Apple (could be Apple vs. Android thing, as long as it references Apple in some way). This is a preference, and I don't care much if it doesn't get put in.

My next request is that in the intro before the video starts (there would be a pause before the notes start) I want the camera to go through a portal, starting the video. I want this because I love Portal/Portal 2 and it's a cool effect. Right before going through the portal, the first 3 notes would play, then the portal would be entered and the video would begin.

My last request is that if we do this, in the end part where the names show up, next to SpleenBeGone and the other admins, I'd really appreciate "Intro Idea by DifferentTurret" or some credit like that, but, to be fair, make sure that it would be like so:



Nerd Forum

Concept By: SpleenBeGone
Supported by: Admins here

Intro Idea by DifferentTurret

I just want to make it so that it's clear that I am not admin, but I still get credit, y'know?

This would make a great intro for the Nerd Forum YouTube channel, especially if that starts posting frequently.

If that doesn't happen, I'm still going to do it anyway, but I'm not very good at creating stuff like this, so it would be wonderful to work with someone else on this.

I just think that an entire song is too long, but some 30 second one would be short and sweet.

Just so you know, I'd REALLY love for this to be done, so if you're willing to help me out PM me or Skype me :D

Also it'd be a nice touch if we changed the logo effect (I was planning on changing "Fringe" to "Nerd Forum" but if we could also change the effect to something more nerdy that'd be cool).

i'm down for that too, though I still think we should do a song as well, it's a big community project and I personally think it's pretty rad. We can do both.

Yay!

Should we make separate threads for organizing who's doing what and how and etc?

ok on the song, does anyone have any particular style you guys want it in? If possible, we could even add a poll and vote.

Surprised Robstar hasn't said anything, but I'd wager he'd vote for rap.

Writing’s one thing, but I know nothing of music. When I have to make a song for a story or book I just use a modified iambic pentameter (I need to work out a name. Iambic dosn't apply) style to a simple tune. I imagine working more complicated music in will require more effort.
That aside, I’ll do a bit of reading on music and chip in however you might need. I don’t have a particular style in mine, I listen to almost everything.
Also, is the video idea and the song separate? Turret seemed to want to put the Fringe theme to the vid, and that’s fine, or are we going to sync the two?

I was thinking seperate, but I'll go with whatever you guys want. I was thinking the song would be more represenative of the nerd community as a whole, hence the needs for multiply writers. As for the style of music, it can be any, we can just throw in a good beat for robstar, provided he's in. So we can can have multiple singers, a rapper, and if the style calls for it even some screaming.As we get more basics down and find out who all is in we can get a tune together for you.

I think having 2 separate projects is a good idea, as Robstar would be a great help for the other idea and he should totally do it, while I'd like to focus on my idea instead.
Good luck on yours!
