In a recent episode of Stephen Colbert’s The Colbert Report, Colbert expresses his disgust with The Decemberists for copying his green screen challenge.Colbert originally made a “green screen challenge,” challenging people to edit him fighting with a lightsaber into other video backgrounds. The Decemberists, after Colbert’s green screen challenge, made their own green screen challenge called “Re-animate the Decemberists” from MTV U, which consisted of fans editing their music video to their liking.So after Colbert found out about this plagiarism, he challenged The Decemberists to the “Green Screen Challenge 2,” in hopes of having his loyal fans edit Colbert into a scene where he is fighting, and defeating, the Decemberists band.

The Green Screen Challenge 2 can be entered at ColbertNation.com, and the Colbert Report episode in which he challenges the Decemberists can me viewed here at Comedy Central. (at the 1:20 remaining mark)

So for all you video editing, indie music loving junkies, I have found something for you to do this weekend. Thank me later.
