So over the past year or so I have noticed this growing trend on Youtube. There are these music videos on there…Made by just ordinary people like myself. Ok so this is how this works: somehow steal clips from your favorite television program/movie and then pick a song. Then you can go into your video editing program (for most I assume it is Windows Movie Maker). Edit these clips along with the music and you have yourself a homemade music video. Now, I’m sure posting this on youtube is actually very illegal. There are still an awful lot on there, though! What I thought about when I saw this was…Television networks must see that this is going on. Now, previously I only noticed this happening on the Disney channel (not that I watch that or anything) but now I’m seeing music videos for television shows on ABC and there may be some on other networks as well. Earlier this year I saw music videos on ABC for both Ugly Betty and Desperate Housewives. I say this is a great idea! Obsessed television fans are always wanting more so why not make a short video to show in between programs? Judging by the number of user made music videos that exist on Youtube (for pretty much ANY show you can imagine) I think that networks should consider this! Especially with the new shows coming on this fall! Want to see for yourself? Just go here: www.youtube.com and type in a popular television show (or maybe even UNpopular).
