So, I've had this great idea to make a parody song of Gangnam Style called NC style. The video would be performed by someone in a Yongary/Godzilla outfit wearing sunglasses and a bandana with NCsoft on it.
I've hit a bit of a snag in trying to think up lyrics, which is why I'm asking for ideas right now (and if you can think of lyrics on your own just from this idea, you know, that's awesome). And after that's done, I'll need some help in turning it into a proper video.
Some small background info on Gangnam style for those that are unaware: Gangnam style is a parody video. He's making fun of people who like to pretend they have class when they don't and probably the district itself (Gangnam is a wealthy district in korea).
The lyrics are a guy claiming he has Gangnam style (like the people who live in the district), bragging about how awesome he is, and talking about the kind of girl he wants. The video has situations that at first glance look classy, then when you pull back show something pathetic. Like the opening seen that looks like he's on a beach, then it pulls back to show he's in a playground. Or just acting like he's great in a pathetic situation, like dancing in a parking garage with garbage flying around. Or acting inappropriately, resting his head on a stranger in a sauna (while stranger looks at him like WTH ARE YOU DOING). Treating a bath like a swimming pool. Singing in a closeup like is shown in rap videos, then it zooms out and shows he's on a toilet. Also there's a cameo by another star of some sort, that's the elevator scene.
To sum up: likely to keep in the spirit of the song, we would have NCsoft (the person in a godzilla suit), acting very important but being shown to be ridiculous/not as powerful as it thinks.
So, small list of things that will be needed to make this parody a reality:
1: Lyrics. I'm having trouble coming up with lyrics beyond the initial idea of NC style.
2: Scene ideas, and arrangement.
3: Actually producing the video
So, some ideas are needed, and some help in making the video, most likely. If you have an idea? SHARE IT! Don't just shoot it down yourself. This is still the brainstorming phase after all.
At my current level of video editing I probably can't do anymore than splicing/cutting bits of recorded video together and fusing it with the music, after it's recorded. That may or may not be sufficient. I'm willing to be the idiot dancing in a yongura/godzilla costume, though I don't know where I'd get/acquire one. Or how much it would cost. If you're in the Chicago area and happen to have one, know where to get one, that'd be great. I'm also willing to sing the song. I like to think I have a decent voice.
And to kick off with some ideas I've had:
One scene could close up to look like NCsoft is breathing fire, then the camera backs off and it shows NCsoft is sideways and the fire is coming from a lawn torch.
Closeup, NCsoft is burning a town or a hero or something, then the camera backs up and shows it's a model (and maybe not even really on fire).
Elevator scene: NCsoft between the legs (Like Psy in the video during the elevator scene) of someone wearing a Bobby Kotick (infamous CEO of activision, known for saying things like he wants to suck the fun out of making games) mask, or post edited with Kotick's face
Lyrics: NCSoft talking about how important it is and the games it likes to burn? I'm still not sure on what the real content should be.
Anyway, share your ideas, and if you're willing to lend any expertise to creating it please say so! I think this idea is great, but it's worthless if no video ends up coming out of it. I want to see this turned into a real video, somehow.
