SHIRT guys it's a community building project from Bree! NO WAI, THIS IS SUCH A SURPRISE. ;O
So... yeah! A Welcome Video. Better late than never, right?
This post is kind of Due to my laziness and short attention span, I have decided not to read your lengthy post. to the max, so I've bolded the important parts.
I've done all the pre-production work, and volunteer for post-production as well (hopefully with a bit of help from my good friend Sir Robert the Beanbag). I just need you guys to step up and be my production crew.
Here's what you have to do:
1) Find a decent or high quality video camera
2) Film yourself enthusiastically reading this script
3) Save your video and send it to pogotribestaff@gmail.com
I apologize to those who would like to participate, but don't really have a decent quality camera. I think it's important that we make a good first impression, and having one or two low quality bits of video or sound can throw the entire video off. (If it makes you feel any better, I can't submit anything, either.
)
On the wiki page I made, you can see two different versions of a script I wrote myself. I initially wrote this script in early February as a draft, and no one seemed to have any edits for it. HOWEVER, times have changed and we have fresh minds, so if you guys think any wording needs to be changed, anything needs to be taken out, anything needs to be added, etc. please feel free to say so in this thread so it can be discussed.
For this reason, you should not make your videos until Saturday, July 17.
You may now send in videos!
Anyway, as you can see, there is a Basic Script and a Directional Script. The directional script is really only for those who feel more comfortable having the direction (we don't want anyone just staring at the camera reading in a monotone voice
)... you may feel free to reword, improvise, and act as you see fit. I still do encourage everyone to read over the directional script, so they have an idea of what everyone else will be doing and what will be going on on screen. Just be creative and enthusiastic-- we want this to be entertaining! : D
Also, when reading the script, just ignore the "Person 1, Person 2, etc." thing. Everyone should read the entire script... that's just to show that a different person will say each line.
I am not going to set any deadline. We're all responsible people here. If we care about the project, we'll get it done ASAP. I do encourage you set a deadline for yourself, however. I don't know your schedule, you do. I may or may not cut it off at any point. Whether it's because I'm tired of waiting for submissions or because I get too many (more submissions than the number of lines... which would blow my freaking mind). I'll be reasonable if you are.
I really think a Welcome Video would benefit The Moon greatly. It would certainly give new people a quick, easy way to understand the Tribe. Plus, it feels sooo welcoming. Especially coming from a lot of members! I want as many people in the Tribe to do this as possible (I just picked a random number for the script; we don't have to stop at nine!). Don't make an excuse, just do it! It's summer. You do have time. I ask that you all not just wave this aside because it is about community building and not changing the world. Building our community big and strong is a giant, much needed step in the direction of changing the world. Try not to forget that!
Thanks!
