‘This Song Is Not For You’ Music Video

It’s been almost a year since I first put out my call-to-action blog post asking all of you to send in videos of yourselves singing along to This Song Is Not For You. I never expected to receive over one hundred videos from around the world! It took me a long time to put this all together but, honestly, it was so worth it. Thank you for this gift of love that will make me smile for the rest of my life. <3

And, now, without further adieu, I proudly present This Song Is Not For You, the music video, featuring the best-looking and most dedicated fans in the world!

‘This Song Is Not For You’ is a tongue-in-cheek response to having written so many songs over the years about being wronged in one way or another by someone I’ve loved. It’s an assertive stand to take control of one’s life and no longer allow those who repeatedly cause us pain to remain in our lives. We all hurt the ones we love but we can choose to take the necessary steps to stop loving the ones who hurt us the most.

I want you to be in my next music video! Exciting, right? I know. Super awesome stuff! All you need to do is send me a video of you “singing” along to This Song Is Not For You. (You don’t actually have to sing since I won’t be using your audio). Prizes will be awarded for the best most creative submissions, however, everyone will make final cut.

Will anyone hear me sing?
Nope! This is a music video so only the visual aspect of your submission will be used.

What should I do in the video?
Anything you want! The weirder, the better. Simple is fine too though.

Can I do something else?
Absolutely! Play an instrument… Dance around… Do whatever you want!

Any tips on making a good video?
Just use a smartphone, webcam, or anything that records video. If you’re able to film in HD, that would be wonderful. Also, make sure everything is well lit.

How do I send it to you?
Upload your video to YouTube (or any filesharing site like HighTail) and email the link to videocontest@marcionovelli.com. Alternately, you can record a short Instagram or Vine video tagging @marcionovelli and using the hashtag: #MarcioNovelliVideoContest

Anything else I should know?
This is about having fun so don’t over-think it! If you have any questions whatsoever, please leave a comment below or get in touch with me via twitter or facebook.

‘Doctor, Please’ Music Video

A little over a month ago, I released my very first music video ever. In just 6 short weeks, it’s gained over 100,000 views on YouTube!

Making this video was a milestone for me as it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time so thank you for making it such a success! Your support for my album, documentary, music video, and just about everything I do is overwhelmingly beautiful.

‘Doctor, Please’ is an exploration of the human psyche and the ghosts that haunt us. If we are ever to overcome our demons, we must dive deep within ourselves and not be afraid to get our hands dirty.
