How to get exposure for my video mashup?

March 22, 2007 9:59 PM

Where can I get exposure for my mashup / DIY-music-video?

I made a really, really good mashup of a song and a movie (well, a movie edited down to ten minutes). Seriously, it's fucking great; it came out really well. Is there anywhere I can send it to get exposure? Any contests I could enter it in? (It's a little too long for youtube, and google video doesn't get much traffic. And obviously I can't link to it here or I'll be rightly crucified for self-promotion.)

10 minutes is too long for YouTube?... If that's the case, can you edit it a little more to bring it in under their time-limit?... You could also try LiveDigital.

I say it's crucifixion time, post it, we must hear it, so great you say. We want blood We want to see this./

What do you mean it's too long for UToob¿ Do they have time limits on their posts¿ I wasn't aware of that. Stay away from contests, they're a crock.

As far as I'm aware, you can post videos of far longer than 10 minutes if you have a certain sort of account at YouTube.

Post it to Projects.

If you apply for a Director account on YouTube they remove the 10 minute restriction. Then you can come back here and post it inline with the new fancy YouTube-Metafilter feature :)

Try Get Your Bootleg On. They're a friendly crowd, although they are primarily interested in audio/audio remixes/mash ups not video.
