00:00 Air guitar, air guitar, air guitar, air guitar, air guitar, air guitar, air guitar, air guitar, air guitar, air guitar.
00:07 We're scored on three things. Technical merit, stage presence, and airness.
00:12 It no longer matters that that person isn't holding a guitar, that their performance has gone beyond
00:20 and has become a whole other thing that is completely entertaining.
00:26 You get this electricity going that it transcends the medium.
00:31 The momentary suspension of reality, but it's so believable and you just bring everyone into that space.
00:36 So it's one person playing their heart out and showing you who they are or a version of who they could be.
00:42 To make that believable and entertaining is its own little art form.
00:46 Everybody who competes in an air guitar contest is like part of the air guitar family.
00:49 Like if you're weird enough to travel halfway across the country to pretend to do something for 60 seconds,
00:55 we think you're awesome.
00:57 It's just going to keep getting better. It's just going to keep getting weirder and people are just going to keep pushing it.
01:02 It's like you have a sandbox and you don't want to play in that sandbox.
01:07 You have this limitation that's put on you and within that limitation there's a lot of things that you can do that are new.
01:14 A lot of ways to innovate and a lot of ways to make that one minute exciting.
01:19 That's our only limitation is the time.
01:21 It's just going to get weirder and more fun and crazier.
