CALLING ALL VISUAL ARTISTS & MUSICIANS: LET'S MAKE A SHORT FILM FOR THIS MAGICAL WINTER SONG!

Nathan and Katie of FauxFix RECorded a song in The REC Room at Sundance entitled "Little Smokestacks." It's a beautifully atmospheric song about that magical time in winter when the days are disintegrating and there's a short period of time where the sun is going down and night is rising.

And we're going to make a NEW SHORT FILM for this track!

Listen to the Reference Mix of "Little Smokestacks" here: http://www.hitrecord.org/records/1178732

Please contribute all of your records to the Collaboration here: http://www.hitrecord.org/records/1198237

Here's how you can contribute to this collaboration:

ILLUSTRATORS: Draw visuals for the song. They can be landscapes, characters, or entirely abstract - be as creative as you'd like!

ANIMATORS: Take visuals from this collaboration - and throughout the site - and begin to put them into motion.

CINEMATOGRAPHERS: Grab your cameras and shoot some winter imagery that's inspired by the song.

VIDEO EDITORS: Start cutting together visuals from the site to the Audio Record. Check out the "RE: Snow" collaboration for some wintery resources: http://www.hitrecord.org/records/1117165

VOCALISTS: Sing some Harmonies or RECord yourself singing "Ooh"s and "Ahh"s so they can be remixed together to simulate the sound of breath.

INSTRUMENTALISTS: It'd be great to have some Electronic Beats added, in addition to other Instruments and Sound Effects.

Here is a link to a layered .psd file. The window area is transparent so you can drop anything you want onto a layer behind it. i've also included an extra version of the tile wall without any of the lighting effects. Have fun!

danielbang, who RECorded the Hit RECord "A Self-Centered Conversation," stopped by The REC Room to say hi! :D

 (lyrics)

Now the party hats are broken, and we’ve done all our joking,

About the resolutions we’re gonna keep,

Well the alcohol’s provoking, and no one’s softly spoken,

Tonight’s a night I know, I will have no sleep,

Happy Happy New Years, Goodbye  Goodbye to the Blue years!

Everybody’s gonna be alright. And we know the party’s only getting started tonight,

My hair is full of confetti, I think, I think I’m ready,

To take the plunge into another year,

Well the champagne’s almost empty, the party theme’s 1950s,

And the music on the juke box adores my ears,

Happy Happy New Years, Goodbye  Goodbye to the Blue years!

Everybody we're gonna be alright. And we know the party’s only getting started tonight,

Now go ahead and pet the New Year, it don’t bite,

Now the party’s turned to nothing, and hopefully we’ve learned something,

That we’ll be better people in days to come,

Now the years begun so quickly, but I need to live it more carefully,

It appears that I’ve already, stepped in gum.

Watch where you’re goin when you’re walkin in the New Year baby!
