Wanted: Videographers

Normally, rock club bouncer types try their best to keep video 
equipment out of their venues. However, at this Saturday's concert by 
Japanese speed-thrash/surf band Melt-Banana at Echo Lounge in East 
Atlanta, attendees are actually being encouraged to videotape the 
show.

Atlanta filmmaker Tom Roche, who's previously done video work for 
Norah Jones, TLC and R.E.M., has been commissioned to direct a 
concert film of the act and wants both amateur and professional 
camcorder operators to shoot the gig however they'd like, either 
"straightforward or art-damaged." Videos will be handed in at the end 
of the evening, and your images may be edited into the final DVD 
project, complete with an onscreen credit.

WHEN: SATURDAY / JULY 5

WHO: Melt-Banana

WHAT: CALLING AMATEUR AUTEURS: A possible candidate for Ritalin, 
Japan's chaotic Melt-Banana
  stuffs everything from surf to thrash in its pop-culture blender. To 
make things even more fun,
  local film editor Tom Roche has convinced the band to allow fans to 
play a part in a concert video
  shoot. A professional video crew will be on hand, but audience 
members are encouraged to bring
their own camcorders to tape the show, too. After the show, Roche 
plans to take all the footage and
  edit it into one big Melt-Banana video experience. In his press 
release, Roche promises participants "on-screen credit in the video, 
their tape returned, eventually, and a lollipop." He notes that DV 
format
  and picture stabilization are preferred, but "even the cheapest, 
worst camcorders are welcome."

9 p.m. July 5. $10. Echo Lounge, 551 Flat Shoals Ave. S.E.
