Heya Guys!

do you guys want to help create the music video for our song we have created?

im just finishing off the Legends of Lockdown video and me and @The Mix thought it would be a great idea to have you guys share clips that you think really shows the positives of lockdown. This could be things like NHS rainbows you have seen on social distanced walks, your pets doing funny things, or just something cool you have seen in your community. 

To keep it anonymous, please don't show people's faces directly. If you would like to contribute, you can submit your videos to: video.submit@themix.org.uk and tell us below what you have posted :+1:

looking forward to seeing what you guys create!

    I’ve just sent a video of my doggie Louie having a run during a walk when it was sunny 😍

    Sounds awesome @Millie2787 - looking forward to seeing that! Can people add in the subject of the email 'community music video' or something similar to that just so that we can easily work out which project the videos are for.

    Does a video of me doing a bottle flip count? Or doing the splits?

    Don't worry it is working now.  My phone and emails can be a bit temperamental.

    Some great submissions so far, keep them coming :3 We've had some excellent videos of pets that have been enjoyable to see. We need a few more clips to finish off the video, how about we set a challenge for everyone to submit at least 1 video in each of the following categories:

    1. your pet (or a friends) doing something funny or cute 🐶
    2. Something fun/creative you have achieved during lockdown, for example, this could be a quick clip of you putting the last piece of a puzzle. Also, we have a great example from @Kasa2103 perfecting a bottle flip!
    3. Something inspiring you've seen in your local community - this could be some NHS rainbows or a community noticeboard with offers to help people.

    Who's going to be the first to complete all 3 videos ;)

    Haha thanks for sharing my example of the perfect bottle flip. Recorded it twice. Took me about 30 attempts to do the bottle flip.
