official viral distribution concepts thread

[redmongoose]

lets put it on a reel of 16 millimeter film and cut it up into 15 frames each then put the separate strips into numbered glass bottles with corks and tie the corks to little strings and the strings to the backs of commercial fishing boats that end up on that show 'the deadliest catch' and wait to see if those guys collect all of them and put them together in between getting killed to catch crabs

Let's make each segment 365 frames long and dress up as monsters and ghosts and etc and sneak into peoples' closets and wait until the middle of the night when they're trying to go to sleep and slowly creep out and whisper the description of a frame into their ears while they try not to turn around and look because they know it's in their heads if they don't look it will go away it's not real it's not real it's not real it's not real

we could just make this collaboration about mario and sonic, that'd get viral pretty much on its own.

But all joking aside, I actually liked redm's first idea that spawned this discussion the best. Especially because of the VHS tapes. Since it's such an out-dated format, people would get curious and it would be taken less light-hearted. The reason for it being taken a little more serious (with more potential of news shows picking up on it) is that putting that shit on a VHS tape is more effort than what people would expect, hence the curiosity. If it was just a DVD people would be like "well that was interesting time to throw it away now".

Just saying, if we do end up making this collab, the VHS idea is the best one imho and if we are doing that, then I definitely want to be part of it, regardless of the collab's topic. I'd also love to see some creepy-ass-visuals being added in post-production to make the VHS seem like it's very old and been seen a lot.

at the very end of the collab it should say "7 days" or something btw just to make people freak out and us laughing our asses off, if it does get somewhat big.

How about a bunch of really short, really creepy collabs, like 30-60 seconds max. Release a whole slew of them, spam them everywhere.

We could make an audiobook and release 15 seconds of it on a cassette and then wait to see who finds the cassette and then spam them with numbered cassettes with only 15 seconds of audio each so they just show up on a pile on their door.

i like that audio book idea too mostly because i like the idea of just chucking cassette tapes at someones door

we could throw old nintendo 64 cartridge packages at random houses and people would be all excited to see why someone is giving away their tony hawk's pro skater 2 or mario 64 or rayman 2 and then they'd open that shit up thinking either to play it or sell it on ebay but turns out it's just anthrax inside
in purgatory we would be handing out mysterious pamphlets which could criptically reveal the location of a secret projection room if read by the savviest of savvy animation enthusiasts, where they would show everyone in the afterlife that was smart enough to figure that shit out a vast amount of alternative flash cult films
in the middle of said collection would be a near-impossible to find easter egg (you'd have to click on m bison's dick) and that would finally take you to the spam collab we made (called 'comedy to die for' ironically) and i get the feeling that this whole ordeal would generate a lot of #buzz for us and make #networking much, much easier #entrepreneurship

it's gotta be final hentai 7

[redmongoose]

we should produce a staggering amount of material but never actually show it to anyone and let it just rot in our hard drives for our own enjoyment, (this is what i actually do and take it from me, it works wonders)

[bd648]

how about we go to a book store and but hentai in bibles.

at the very end of the collab it should say "it's time to stop fucking around. everyone on this planet needs to wake up and live a true life. do not delude yourself. also, we pulled this off. what else can we do, if it comes to that? better just smarten up" or something btw just to make people freak out and us laughing our asses off, if it does get somewhat big. AND PS MAYBE PEOPLE WILL ACTUALLY LISTEN.

We could form cells in our individual cities. Us BackAlleyans make all this shit, blah blah. Each of us could have our own particular distribution methods according to the various peculiar distribution media with which we can work; tapes, homebrew 64 carts, vhs, false crime scenes with encrypted urls embedded in the dna of the blood left at the scene (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_B%C3%B6k#The_Xenotext_experiment), homebrew GameBoy carts, homebrew dereamcast discs.... etc etc. Once we have products en masse, we just get our friends together and do insane citywide mobs hitting every building possible with as many insane things as possible...


rather than do an actual stupid collab about burnt toast though, we make mindboggling creepy shit embedded with as many fucking subliminal images, ideas blahdy blhady blah as possible which will convey nothing but pure positivity. fight club but with an anarchy of peace.

this is what i get for getting excited about burnt toast
