The Johnny Cash Project


How do you go about creating a music video for a song performed by the late Johnny Cash?

Crowd-source it of course!

The Johnny Cash Project is an interactive site launched by designer Aaron Koblin.

The goal is to create a music video for Cash's rendition of "Ain't No Grave" by having people trace over archival footage of the Man in Black.

Once complete, the contributed pieces will be stitched together into a complete video that will look...well...awesome. It will have that rotoscoping feel, while leaving open the possibility of creative minds to add their own subtle nuances and ideas.

Head over to the site now where you can explore the video with the current frames that have been submitted (it's already INSANELY cool looking.)
YOU can also contribute to the project as well. Click the 'contribute' button and you will be presented with a frame of your own to trace and submit! Your drawing may just be added in the final cut!
