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

We could have an awesome theme song. >.>
Tis what I'm getting at, though seems to be a bit of a slow build haha.

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.

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
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).

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?
