Shortgorilla Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Okay nerds, I have a project I've been thinking about starting for a while, and I want your help. I want to create a Nerd Fitness forum member motivational montage. Everyone that wants to participate will be included. It's pretty simple, everyone contribute a video clip of yourself doing something you love for fitness, be it lifting, running, climbing, flipping, or eating a salad. Be creative! Clips should be relatively short so that if tons of people participate I can squeeze them all in. If there is enough footage, I will make multiple videos. If we get enough involvement this will be a fun way to motivate each other and we'll have something great to show off to people when we're talking about the forum. "Yeah, those guys are great! Check this out." Along with your footage, comment on here letting us know that you've made a contribution, and throw up the name of a song you find inspirational or motivating. After we have a lot of video collected we'll have a vote to pick what song (or songs) get used for the background music. Any other ideas or suggestions are more than welcome! Let's have fun with this! Submit video clips to me at shortgorilla1@gmail.com 6 Quote PVP Challenge (Deadlift and OHP): http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/69895-shorts-race-for-the-big-two-ongoing-challenge/ My Battle Log: http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/44606-shortgorilla-is-fat/ Link to comment
DarK_RaideR Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Loving the idea! For now I only have this video of myself, which ain't the best but might work if you're after an "everyday people working out at home/anywhere instead of a gym" style. Might make a new one, perhaps in some nerdy outfit or something, this thread is inspiring. Also, if I may draw your attention towards a "no excuses" amazing short clip of cn3wton doing doubleunder rope jumps in the friggin' snow, if he's ok with it being included. As for songs, I'll probably come up with a few decent suggestions, right now I can only think of "Action" by Powerman 5000 which stuck to me after hearing it in a tricking sampler video. P.S. Anxious to see if "shortgorilla in leotard" will be part of that video Quote Lvl 60 Multitasker Baking (2)🧁, Charisma (4), Cooking (6)🍳🍳 🍳 🍳 , Fitness (1)💪, Gourmet Cooking (2)👨🍳👨🍳, Handiness (0), Media Production (6)🎬, Mixology (3)🍸, Research & Debate (1), Video Gaming (3), Wellness (1)💆♂️ Link to comment
Shortgorilla Posted November 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Your video is exactly what we need. Thank you. I edited my original post so that people can send clips to my email, as I don't trust trying to rip them off youtube and the like. I can't view the clip of cn3wton, is it hosted anywhere like vimeo or youtube?

goodbye_farewell Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Thank you, Wovercast!! I look forward to it. Tell your friends, we need footage if this is going to happen! Sure thing. I'm not super active on here though. I would suggest at least posting a link to this thread on your battle log since it seems to get decent traffic. Quote Link to comment

insanity Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I'll have to see what I can do, just started on the workout path so no hardcore jump roping in the snow or anything yet, but we'll see. As for music, I submit these.. I've never been a fan of motivational videos that have singing... I like just music. Quote "Insanity - you make my world a better place man, you really do!

Oramac Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Love the idea!! I can probably get some footage of Lightsaber spinning and such. Though it's brutally cold outside right now so it's definitely going to be a short clip.

Shortgorilla Posted November 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Send me any length of footage, just know that if it is long I will most likely be cutting large chunks out of it so everyone gets as close to equal time as I can manage. Or maybe the video will wind up being super long. Anything goes at this point!

Oramac Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 I have yet to recieve any submissions via email. shortgorilla1@gmail.com. Let's do this nerds! I took some saber spinning footage last night, but I'm not at all happy with how it turned out. I'll try to get more in the next few days. Or, as alienjenn said, you can see if you like anything on my youtube page and I can send you the video that way too.
