Using Video to Promote Jack Rabbit; The NAB Connection

 

 

The previous issue of the Viodi View referenced Sheri Cooper and the selection of her husband as a finalist in the Children’s Category in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest. To get to the finals, they had to pass through a panel of judges that included the likes of noted musicians, such as Al Jarreau and Bob Weir (Grateful Dead). In the final phase of the contest, it is about getting votes from the public; essentially it is now a popularity contest. 

In the tradition of using video to promote music, the duo put together this clever, low-cost production in the above video.

Check out the song and their CD, The Uh Oh Moon, at http://cdbaby.com/cd/cooperbounds. Vote by going to the following link and look for the title Jack Rabbit in the category Children’s Session I.

A few hours after I wrote the first draft of this post and while I was thinking of ways to  to tie it a little tighter Viodi View, I ran across the John Lennon Educational  Tour Bus at NAB. The John Lennon Educational Tour Bus Project is related to the aforementioned contest.  The John Lennon Educational Tour Bus web site describes what they do as follows:  

"The John Lennon Educational Tour Bus is a non-profit 501(c)(3) mobile audio and HD video recording and production facility. Since 1998, the Bus has provided free hands-on programs to hundreds of high schools, colleges, Boys and Girls Clubs, music festivals, concerts, conventions and community organizations."

In addition to having John Lennon’s name behind it, any organization that has a booth at NAB that is large enough for a freight trailer and more is impressive. Good luck Sheri and Clancy.
