Could a Machinima Win You £5,000?

As I mentioned here, Marillion is having a contest for the most viewed video on YouTube for their song, 'Whatever Is Wrong With You?'. Since I'm without enough bandwidth at present, I can't follow through in time to do a machinima for the contest - but maybe one of you readers can. I'd contacted Marillion in the past about doing something in Second Life, but it never got responded to... so maybe one of you folks could show them the power of virtual worlds combined with their lyrics.

I mean, if I can't compete for the £5,000, one of you could.

Consider these lyrics:

We need to talk..
about the way you've been behaving
We need to talk..
about the Christmas lights in your clothes
We need to talk..
about the stranger in the kitchen
We need to talk..
about the scissors and the silver foil
I thank God..
You're so fabulously..
Odd

If that isn't Second Life, I don't know what is. Toss in Sarah Nerd's prim baby for good measure. The scissors and the silver foil could even be seen as a reference to Prokofy Neva, though I'm not certain that the song was written about her...

Read enough? Good. Watch the clip below, head over to WhateverIsWrongWithYou.com, read the rules, get the MP3 after reading the terms, and go a little... machinima.

To give you an idea of what others are doing, take a look at this video and follow the links to some others:

I hope one of you folks wins. If you do, you need to send me some Nutter Butters and Kona Coffee. Or buy me the next Marillion CD, if I don't get it beforehand...
