Project 2012-02-22 01:55:04 +1300
I'm Kim, I'm a singer songwriter (and a bunch of other stuff, but that's
less important right now). A few months ago my friend (Adam Simpson)
came to me with the idea for a song, storyline, music video and one line
of lyrics, and asked me to write the song around it. I did, and we
reckon it's pretty good.
I got in touch with my old friend Sam Wills, who's currently doing
pretty darn well in the UK as The Boy With Tape On His Face (He's doing a
TV show with the BBC and just played at the Royal Variety
Performance). I asked if he'd like to play the romantic lead in the
video... he said yes.
Now we need to raise enough money to mix, & master the song, and
to shoot, edit and produce the video. We all have some pretty healthy
connections to help getting a lot of this work done pretty afford-ably,
but there are raw costs that have to be paid. We're asking people to
help us raise $4000.00
We think this is a pretty cool project, combining three highly
creative people, each doing what they do best, to create something
exciting, quirky, moving and fun.
Here's a little sample of the song... just a verse and a chorus, partly because we hope it's interesting to hear the process unfolding bit by bit... partly because we're teases.
And...
Here's the synopsis for the "I love the way you shine" music video...
'A
boy, his scooter, and the most beautiful girl in town. It’s the
wonderfully simple premise for the music video in which the boy (…with
tape on his face!) has somehow managed to score a date with the girl.
The
boy pulls up at the girl’s house on his gleaming midnight blue
scooter. He gives it a quick wipe and the girl comes out. Though
clearly not impressed by him or his scooter, she gets on the bike and
the boy sets about winning her over as they ride through Wellington,
where he is apparently the leader of a scooter gang, and as the day
grows dim they head into his imaginary, perfect world full of UFOs,
Dinosaurs and other cool retro sci-fi scenes from 1950s movies.
As
she warms to all of this, the ride drifts into the girl’s perfect
imaginary world of warm embraces and…kisses! from more old movies.
They
ride back into a stunning Wellington morning and pull up back at her
house where the girl asks the boy inside. He looks into her eyes and
they have a moment, then he turns and rides off realising that what he
really likes is his strange and wonderful world, and what he really
loves is the way his scooter shines.'
Here's how you can contribute, and what you'll get in return...
$20 - You'll receive the physical CD* (including "I Love The Way You Shine" and several other bonus tracks)
$30 - Will get you the CD* PLUS entry to the single/video release party
$50 - Will get you all of the above, PLUS a download link for a music goodie-basket including Kim's album "Cold Since June", his old band's EP "Regular Tones", and a selection of other sneaky tracks.
$100 - Will get you everything mentioned so far AND you'll appear in the music video as a passenger in the group Vespa scenes. (Limited to just 10 places)
* If you'd prefer a digital download instead of a physical CD, we'll be sending a download link out as well.

I've just updated the soundcloud link, so you can now listen to a whole verse and chorus of I Love The Way You Shine. It's a rough mix, but I think you'll agree, it's sounding pretty nice... Hopefully you'll wanna tell all your people? ;-)
