I am Linux in a box
Summary
Here's a music video about Linux. Written by Lodge McCammon and performed by Brian Bouterse.
Lyrics:
I am Linux in a box
Yea, I’m super-stable, peer-reviewed, Gnu enabled
You can put me in your box
To get your home computer to be
Faster and so secure
Yea, well Redhat is sure
That their support is the cure
The community is ready
If I’m bugged or unsteady
This is who we are
I’m an open source heavy
Operating system everywhere
that’s going far
I am Linux in your box
I’m your custom system
Express your needs, the community listens
I am linux in your phone, your Tivo and playstation
The right solution, and now it’s time
For my OS to shine
future is mine all mine

Although this is not as slickly produced as some of the videos, it has a catchy tune and lots of energy. I love the card choreography! You should get a 10 for that alone. Wishing you much luck in the contest.

My suggestion for this video, just to push the message that Linux looks like so many different people, would be to have a different person flip each card, and have some fancy video processing that would morph one person to the next. It can be done, and i'm sure that there's open-source software that will do it. You would have my 5 stars if you could pull it off. BTW, was that the GNU-Stallman's singing? Lol ... awesome !!

Awesome Job!!! Good luck! This was easily done and looks great. You didn't have to use morphing software and spend hours of your time on it!

Bob Dylan was good in the film of Martin Sorcese... This is a rather good copy of that film-fragment. I did not see enough videos to decide this is the best, but it is cathing. I like it.
