Johnny Cash Project: Awesome crowdsourcing campaign

Crowdsourcing – A very interesting topic, there are loads of controversial examples of “failed” attempts on the web. Today however we bring you a really awesome project.  The Johnny Cash Project is a collective music video, fashioned from drawings done by users from across the web, to accompany Cash’s “Ain’t No Grave,” his final studio recording.

Visit the site to check out the video so far, and add to the project. The site features a drawing tool, which allows you illustrate a frame from the video. These images weave together to create an ever-changing work of art.

The brains behind this project, director Chris Milk, also spearheaded the HTML5 masterpiece “The Wilderness Downtown,” a music video created for Arcade Fire’s newest album, The Suburbs. This time, however, Milk appears to have used Flash to create his video.
