	This is for the video that visitors will see when they first arrive at our website here. I've RECorded the bare (boring) bones of what I want it to say. What it needs now is -- of course -- some good remixing. Basically three things: visual cutaways, music, and other people talking. VISUAL CUTAWAYS. For every idea communicated, I'm hoping there's a visual to go along with it. I don't care if my face is hardly in this video at all. I just want there to constantly be more and more cool things to look at. So video editors: listen to what I'm saying, and when something strikes you, try to find a piece of video or a few images here on hitRECord that express the same thing. And cut it in there. Or, if you don't have the video editing tools to cut them in yourself, just make an album of the RECords you think oughta be remixed in, write in your album's description which RECords go with which parts of the video, and contribute that album to the collaboration. And by the way, the connection between idea and visual doesn't have to be 100% explicitly obvious, as long as it's interesting. MUSIC. Well this one's pretty clear. There's so much good music on here by now. Which pieces should we use? I'd say, each little subsection of the video should probably have its own musical RECord to go under it. Again, you can either remix it in yourself, or make an album of your suggestions. OTHER PEOPLE TALKING. I just RECorded the ideas and sentiments that I want visitors to encounter when they first arrive at the site. But it doesn't have to be me saying the whole thing. It doesn't have to be in my words, as long as the idea/sentiment matches. I sorta got this process started at the very top of the video with the Amellia, Sean, and HarperHippie+Mom saying "hit RECord." Seriously, the less I'm in this video, the better it'll be. A lot of you guys have also already RECorded and reRECorded great versions of this welcome video. I've got an album going here ( http://www.hitrecord.org/records/88366 ) both of complete welcome videos that I like as well as RECords that I think would make good pieces to work in there. I know it's been a sorta lengthy process getting this one together. But think about it, this is a really important video for us! As more and more people hear about our collaborative collective, we want more and more talented, skilled, friendly artists to come work with us on our projects. And this is gonna be the first thing they see. If we can make something truly watchable out of my three minutes of yapping, that'll directly result in us getting to work with more cool people. So let's go...
