Pimp...and... ack! talk me down! vid comment meme..

[ash48]

spn_sceneit is calling for Inspiration! The new inspiration post is up so here's the chance to voice your ideas.

Come on! You know you've heard a song or had an idea for a vid so why not leave it in a comment and see if a vidder might pick it up. You never know...

IDEA...

Now. Speaking of inspiration I need you all to TALK ME DOWN because I had this wee little (stupid) idea pop into my wee little (stupid) brain and even though I know this couldn't really work I need someone to confirm it for me. Otherwise it will fester and then somehow, actually happen...

I don't think I've ever seen this (for a damn good reason I suspect...)

But. You know how we have comment fic - people leave prompts and authors go away and write awesome stuff..weeeellll... could it ever happen that we have a comment vid meme. Where peeps leave prompts and vidders go away and make a vid...??

I am aware the problems (and hence stupid idea...) : vids take a long time to make, there aren't that many vidders around who would take on such a challenge etc. BUT! IF we had enough vidders show interest it could possibly, maybe work. (??) I'm pretty sure they'd be enough prompts but would there be the vidders to make them..?! It would be kinda cool to have a some vids around from fan prompts.

So tell me... (vidding flisters especially).....potential? Multi fandom? Vidlets? Or have I just had a glass too many tonight../o\

I'd love to see it happen! And I agree that anything longer than 1 minute should be acceptable.

I have lots of questions and even some ideas! (Who, me?)

Questions:

• would it be the sort of challenge where people sign up/commit to a prompt (and only one vid per prompt) or would it be the sort of challenge where you just surprise everyone when you've created something (like the blindfold prompts)?
• would there be a posting finished vids deadline when everything is posted, or everyone just share when they are ready?
• people post song prompts or scene prompts or whatever-they-feel-like prompts?

Wacky ideas off the top of my head to potentially increase participation. (They may be easily shot down, but hey - that's what brainstorming is all about!)

• allow people to share links to already posted music videos if they know of one that meets the prompt - which won't increase the number of new vids created but may increase the number of vids seen
• tie it in with an effort to attract newbies - provide help on how to download visual source material (e.g. episodes), recommendations and/or Q/A on vid making software, mentoring or beta-ing, etc.
• or you could expand it to be a multi-media comment fic challenge and invite artists/icon-makers/etc. to respond to prompts, too...
• or just go multi-fandom, as you already mentioned

Feel free to ignore all those ideas! Just take it as a sign of enthusiasm! After all, look what happened with your "wee little idea" for spn_littlebro?

Have I told you lately how much I *heart* you. Like WHOA!

I love all this stuff (as you know). I really hadn't thought beyond.. "comment vid". So thank you for allowing me to tease out some ideas.


I can see that there would be a few ways it could go.

1. It could simply be like a comment fic (like blindfold) and ppl leave prompts and vidders get inspired and run with it. Make it when they can and then post.

Or

2. Vidders sign up in the first instance (then it's clear we have vidders who are interested). There's a call for prompts and then said vidders claim prompts. There's then a deadline to have a vid made by (I think this makes sure it gets made and pressure can mean good vids!) And then (maybe) dates for posting. (roughly)

Hmmm... in terms of the prompts. I think that could be open ended. For me, I prefer song prompts. But other vidders might prefer a scene, episode, quote or character prompt. So I think that might be open..

Those ideas:

1. Yes. If someone has seen a vid that fits the prompt that would be awesome. I love it when I leave a fic prompt and someone says.. this is here already.

2. Ooooh... that would be very cool. I already know where that info exists. And I am SO into helping/encouraging newbie vidders. They'd have to be able to find the post (there's a lot of newbies on YT for example...) but I do love that idea.

3. Mutli media is interesting. Concerns though that it would mostly attract art and not vids (maybe?) . There's a lot of outlets for art as it is (Big Bang and that awesome summer art challenge for example). I think my aim would be for it to be only vids.. probably..

4. The multi fandom would be do entice more vidders essentially. I don't have a finger in the mutli fandom pie but I might know enough to prompt it for MF if it came down to it.

THANK YOU sweetie. Just me typing all that stuff has helped me cement some thinking..
