      First off, thank you for visiting our page and hopefully contributing to our project.  What we are trying to do is raise money for a fan-made music video for You Know What I Mean by Cults.  Now we know what youre thinking, why are you guys putting so much time and effort in a fan-made music video?   The truth is, this has been a passion project of ours for a while now and we feel that after all these years of busting our tails on short films, commercials and music videos, this project will be an accumulation of everything weve learned so far.

      Over the years we have funded all of our own work and because of this, we have to constantly cut corners and be somewhat stingy with our production money.  In the end, the outcome of the project is never quite what we had envisioned to begin with.  That being said, we really want to produce this project on a low budget, but at the same time, not allow it to suffer because of certain costs.  We plan on funding some of the video ourselves, but to complete the project WE NEED YOUR HELP!

      This is actually our first time crowd funding, but we truly believe that with a little help from everyone, itll be a huge benefit for the project in the end.  And for those of you who dont know us, we promise you this; we are a couple of the hardest working people you will ever meet.  We take pride in our work and will make sure that this music video is something we can all be proud to be a part of. 

Concept:

      As far as the look of the video, we are definitely going with a more cinematic film like feel.  Also, since this is a fan-made music video, unfortunately Cults will not actually be in it or have any involvement, as far as we know.  Its okay though, what were trying to do is create something from the fans and show what group of people who believe in a project can do.

      We are huge fans of LOST and because of that show, we cant help but be secretive about our ideas for the sake of not spoiling anything.  That being said, below is a very brief and cryptic synopsis of the concept for this music video.

      Based on our interpretation of  You Know What I Mean, the idea is to follow the love between 2 characters through 3 important dances in their life.  From their first meeting when they were children to years later as adults, our goal is to tell a story that has heart and is relatable for the audience.  48151623.

Previous Work:

      This will be our forth music video and by far our most ambitious.   Below is a brief history of our production teams successes:

          Our first music video "Romance Tried to Kill Me" was voted #8 in the Dallas Observer's Top 20 Local Music Videos of 2010.

          Our second music video, Balrog 24/7 was selected for the Dallas VideoFest 2010.  It was 1 of only 9 selected for the Best in Texas showing.  It was also a Vimeo staff pick and currently sits over 23 thousand views.

          Our short film "Time Line Inc." also won the Grand Jury Award at Houston WorldFEST 2011 for best original narrative short film-drama.

Where your donation will go:

      The main uses of the funds raised will be for equipment, wardrobe, props and location fees.  None of us will actually be paid.  Also, if we do end up making this video under budget, we will take whatever money is left and donate it to a charity here in Dallas, TX.
