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\

Date: 2011-07-21 07:18 pm (UTC)I love that idea. I really like festivids, and this sounds similar to that, but minus the (stress inducing) deadlines, and without commitment up front. I would be most interested in something that pretty much follows the comment fic format, where people post prompts and anybody can leave a vid comment. I think aiming for vidlets/short vids would encourage participation, rather than expecting everybody to do full 3-4 minute songs. I also would prefer multi-fandom prompts, just to get as many people as possible involved, but also because I get bored vidding/watching vids for the same show. (Yes, even if it's hurt!Dean vids)...
The idea to tie it in with n00b support/tutorials is interesting, too.
Keep drinking, sweetie, clearly alcohol gives you genius ideas!

Though the format it takes seems to be the issue. Most comments have been making it more "formal" - sign up period, deadline etc. But you are advocating something less stressful. Which I can totally understand.
I think my concern about that is not getting the commitment. Or vidders claiming prompts and then just not doing them because there's no time constraint.
The vidlet idea seems propular. I think vids are less daunting if they can be short. I also love watching short vids. Though it might be up to the individual vidder. Sometimes and idea is so good you want to run with it.
I'm thinking I might form a brainstorming group and see where discussions go. I think it has potential - it's just what format it should/could take.
Thanks so much for your input honey. And the hug!<333
