I made this clip video for a retiring colleague? Would you send me a clip to make my next one? There's gold in it for ya...

Hi all,

I made this video a few weeks ago for my colleague, who is retiring this month. I'm not exactly Wes Anderson but maybe it will entertain you for a bit.

It just so happens that my grandmother is turning 90 years old next month, so I conceived a new project - what if I can get people wishing her happy birthday from all over the world? I need your help on this one, reddit. First time I've asked in 6 1/2 years.

To get it started I've been hitting a few regional subs but to pull this off I am afraid I will need a few hundred clips.

Get Gold I know better than to count on the kindness of strangers so I will throw in the promise of one month of reddit gold for 50 people if I get at least 250 usable clips. If I get 1000 I'll give 100.

To get the gold here's all you have to do:

  • Record a short clips of < 30 seconds. By yourself, or even better if its with friends. Say your name (or user handle) beforehand if you want credit
  • Mention where you're from in either English or a local language ,e.g. “Happy Birthday from Potosi, Wisconsin! (woooh!)” or "Happy Birthday from Estonia"
  • Try to take an Outdoor shot if you can, especially if you are near a recognizable landmark or otherwise interesting place (A famous landmark, a market).
  • I'd really like clips where you are doing something when you shoot it - skiing, skydiving, biking, skateboarding, playing a musical instrument -- whatevere you're into.

It's that easy. Will take you 30 seconds with your cell phone.

Legalese and fine print

  • I’ll take birthday wishes from ANYONE! all,nationalities, ages, creeds, colors welcome. The more the better!
  • Above all, look like you’re having FUN!
  • Grandma doesn't want to see your dick. No gold for you.
  • Please submit clips by PMing me or email them to [email protected], or via twitter. Deadline is Feb 15, 2015
  • I reserve the right to be the final arbiter of who gets the gold, but if I get at least 250 clips I promise at least fifty one-month gold memberships, and if I get 1000 I will give 100.
  • I will post the final video to r/videos on or before March 1, 2015.
