How hard can it be?
Some foreigners.
A video camera.
Editing equipment.
Do we need licensing to get the music?
What are the legalities?
Can we change the key or octave and do a legal KTV version of any old western song?

and im far too handsome to be involved
anyone with a special talent for wooden acting?
any former models who know how to point into the distance?
That IS a wonderful sig link. One of the oddest things I have seen, ever. :bravo:
Anybody know the legalities of making KTV videos?
Can we play cheap casio versions of songs and get away with it?
Hey, I’ve got the Casio version of Let It Be. All we need is some ugly blonde girl with hooker-red lipstick and white pumps rolling around on a pickup truck in Japan for the background. And then for her equally hideous neckless boyfriend to pretend to be jealous while watching the seagulls take a dump on a European statue as windmills rotate in the background. Is it just me or is there something surreal about the videos that accompany karaoke songs?
Wouldn’t even need to do that - MIDI ahoy!
'cept it would stil be illegal and if we got busted on it we could face massive fines and damages.
So how do the people who do it do it?
Hmmm…
I was thinking we could make some sort of non-sensical scenario - like random shots from a story that might make sense. There could be, like, 100 scenes with the same characters, but for each song, we just do random cuts of different scenes. It would create the illusion of a plot that’s too hard to follow.
Of course, character development is a must. The one with the lipstick blonde, her sad BF and the jealous guido had a little bit of character development. But we could throw some more interesting personalities into it. I want to be a cross-dresser, a mafia boss, a drunken pervert in the park, and a stoned ice-cream vendor, just to name a few.
I would imagine the companies that either make the videos or at least sync the videos to the music have a contract arrangement with the record companies, allowing them to use those companies’ copyrighted works.
Naaaaa… The quality’s too crappy. Those KTV videos we see in Taiwan for old Beatles tunes are made by people like us who know things we don’t. What do they know?

Can I be the lipstick blonde in cowboy boots doing the Molly Ringwald dance near the abandoned train car?
