I have always wanted to produce a video to share the upcoming release of Seltzertopia with the world.

I had no idea what form the music would take, or how I’d actually make it, but I always wanted to put something out this summer. Then, last Winter, lyrics began to come to me. I tried them out at some public events and they were well received. I then further developed them and was coordinating with a sound booth to record them myself when the unexpected happened – I was camping over July 4th when my daughter volunteered to star in it.

That lead to an exciting period of filming (during the trip), editing the footage together once back home, then working with creatives around the world on Fiverr.com to first write original music to match the vocals and then re-edit the video to match the music.

The four best ones have been competing on my Facebook page to be the final video, along with my original a capella edit. Please help me now decide which will be the final one, by commenting below on your preferences, concerns, and any thoughts you might have.

There are two currently in the lead: The one from Navid (from Iran, living in the United Arab Emirates) and the Ghana Remix from Leslie are pretty much neck and neck.

1. Navid Re-mix

2. Ghana Re-mix

A late entry came in from the U.S., from hi5music:

A less popular one, but worth watching for contrast (and it always makes me laugh) is this entry from India:

Finally, here’s my original video edit, with my daughter singing, but no music behind her:

My current plan, with your help, is to pick from among these five over the next few days, male the other four disappear, and officially launch the video to the world.

Have fun, and I look forward to hearing what you think! Please share here on my blog or on the Seltzertopia facebook page.
