[stam4o]

That's like so soon! They are really trusting the outcome if they are announcing it now, with barely 45 days to find a winner and film the MV.
But this also means it might have a new perspective.
Exciting!

Once again, this has been a helluva H!P year, specially this autumn...

I for one am really glad they are willing to experiment instead of sticking to the same thing

Based on the Japanese, they are looking for an example of your past work (a portfolio piece), rather than a mock-up of what you'd make for the girls. They do also want a written plan for a MV though (What kind of MV you would make)

Your “Big Chance”! Audition to Direct Morning Musume. ’14’s Next Music Video!

Fuji TV is planning a year-end television show titled “The Big Chance” to be aired on December 29, 2014 and one of the options being offered is a chance to direct the next Morning Musume. music video!

If you’re a Morning Musume. fan and/or an aspiring filmmaker and currently living in Japan, this could be your big chance to make your professional debut as a music video director live on Japanese television! Obviously such a rare chance will take a bit of talent and hard work as well as some luck. In addition to filling out the form, which is in Japanese, you will be required to submit a video of your previous work (200MB limit), name your favorite current Morning Musume. ’14 member, write a 300-character or less “jiko PR”, and explain in 1000-characters or less what sort of music video you want to make. If selected, you could find yourself on a Japanese year-end program and directing a Morning Musume. video!

This is not the first time that Morning Musume. has reached out to fans to direct one of their videos. In 2009, there was a worldwide contest held to make an OPV (Original Promotion Video) for “3, 2, 1 BREAKIN’ OUT!” (coupling song for their 39th single “Shouganai Yume Oibito”) and the winner received 390,000 yen. But in that case, videos were made using pre-recorded video footage of the members. Imagine how amazing it would be to sit in the director’s chair and tell the members of Morning Musume how to make your vision become reality!

※ Because she is graduating from Morning Musume. ’14 on November 26, 2014, Sayumi Michishige will not be on the program. We apologize from any confusion caused by her picture being in the article but, it is likely that there will not be any pictures without her until after her graduation.

Shouldn't it be "THE BIG CHANCE" audition to direct the next Morning Musume. '15 MV?

[stam4o]

^ If I'm not mistaken they're planning to air it the day of the show, 29/12, so it will still be '14.

Seems like it will be just something special, and not a big-budget making. Kind of what they did with J-Melo for What is Love? So for the show it probably will be just a special MV with a promotional purpose, and I assume with the possibility of it to be included in a future release. (?)

[Amped]

but we don't know if the MV will be created with Morning Musume. '14 or '15 name. they plan to reveal the MV on that day.

[Jessi]

Isn't that just the airing of the winner? I was under the assumption that nothing will be done that day besides the announcement of the winner and that the MV will still be for '15 and will be released with the single sometime in January.

[stam4o]

Hmm, since it says they'll announce the completion of the video on that day, I assumed they'd show it too then. Not very clear
