How do you pay tribute to one of the most revered musicians of all time?

Evidently, you make him a music video.

But in the case of Johnny Cash, it's not just any music video. The Johnny Cash Project takes artwork inspired by actual images of the Man in Black, and then strings them together to the song "Ain't No Grave" to create a massive tribute by thousands of his fans.

The Johnny Cash Project Documentary by Radical Media from Livio Rajh on Vimeo.

The video already has more than enough stills for every frame of the song, but the submissions keep rolling in; now viewers can choose which stills they want to see, using various criteria (most popular, most realistic, most brushstrokes, etc).

Interested in submitting a frame? You can, right here.
