Aspies For Freedom

We have YouTube yes, but something more original.

What I imagined could be in a such music video would be following certain characters which have some kind of autism or have a child with autism or similar.

One of the characters is autistic and the musicvideo follows him through bullying and other things that make him think he is bad, diseased, retarded. In one of the scenes his father tells him about people like Autism Rights movement who doesn't think they are diseased. His father indirectly says he think that is a stupid idea and finally asks him if his son thinks he has a disease. The boy answers 'yes' and the father says 'good'.

Another character would be a curebie parent which the musicvideo follows from the "tragedy" when she learns that her child is autistic to her constant struggle to find a treatment or a cure and battle against the pharmaceutical companies. In the end she learns that in all her effort she has forgot to try to understand and help her child.

Aswell as other stories.

i like it

Thanks if you were reffering to my ideas, but they are just examples of what that could be. I don't have the possibility to participate in making such videos.

sounds like a pretty sweet idea.. but there's a problem.. what song would we play in the video? make one ourselves or use an already-made song?

Up to people to decide.

I don't want their music video to be my idea.

It sounds like a great idea to bring awareness and what it is like for those who have autism. You often hear about it but don't get to see it.

For music there could be a combination of songs that represent the mood of the scene, of which give the right emotional tug but which aren't too overwhelming and fit the scenes well. Sad songs for the picked on parts to draw on people's emotions so they feel really bad and understand.

The idea for the video is great.

ask serge` he does this as his job he puts people in front of green screens to make music videos

Well I had Deep Forest music for stirring song. Something like Savvah dance, Sweet Lullaby and maybe White Whisper.

Or something more rock and roll, hmmm

he does?? he never told me..

Failing that, maybe someone from the AFF group could compose some music for the movie.

Great idea!!
