View Full Version : How About Something Fun for Forum Members? Let's Make a Video

Hi Everyone, I’m floating this idea ---kind of like a trial balloon to gauge interest. I will proceed only if this resonates with the Project Avalon Community --- as indicated by the number of Thanks. I talked to Whitefeather, and he is going to “FRIEND” this project if it goes forward.


Here’s the Offer

Since I create videos for fun (they look good, YouTube HD quality), I’m considering creating a 3-5 minute Video from the contributions of members of this forum.


The Inspiration:

Eric Whitacre’s Virtual Choir

D7o7BrlbaDs


Background for the Project Camelot Video:

I’ve been thinking that We of Project Avalon, despite our varying points of view, have something to contribute as a “Virtual Voice.

Take a look at one of my favorite movie scenes on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KAF5AASdYo&feature=related) (can't embed here) Curly’s 1 Thing from City Slickers:

My Idea is to create a Video about 1 Thing. But of course it’s more like a hologram of many “1 Things”, making up a Single “1 Thing”.

This 1 thing is what you believe, and and want to say to inspire people to “Do Something”.

The Question of course ---> To Do What?
Examples: to become awake and aware, to become active and motivated, to change our planet, to ascend, to find and start walking their destined path, to become one, etc.

So, what is it YOU would Say if you could .... What would you like to share about 1 thing that’s important Right Now --- at this Planetary time?



The Purpose of the Video:

To go viral and impact our world with 1Thing … Perhaps the video would be an exercise of the 100th monkey effect.



What Content is needed for the Video:

30-40) Photos (JPEG or PNG)

2-4) 10sec soundbites – video or audio (MP4, AVI or FLV & MP3 audio)
Please note: I will edit to 10 seconds

10-20) Statements, Questions, Quotes (very short, succinct)

1-2) Original Songs (MP3)

Title: Must be Shock & Awe Quality to create interest and to go viral

*Please note: In order to contribute, you must own the rights to the content, and be able to give permission to me so that I can use it without violating copyrights, etc.



How Forum Members Can Contribute:

Any Project Avalon Forum Member can contribute their Content by posting it under this Thread so that it can be voted on.

Project Avalon Forum Members then Vote with THANKS for the Content they want included in the video.

*Again, please note: In order to contribute, you must own the rights to the content, and be able to give permission to me so that I can use it without violating copyrights, etc.




How Alie & Friends Will Contribute

I (Alie) will coordinate and produce the video, which means I might have to crop or delete a portion of your content, but of course with the goal of keeping your core message. Also, content would be made into a cohesive whole - not by the number of thanks, but by the way it fits into the message.

I (Alie) will create a Video from the most popular content contributed by the Forum Members (as determined by the number of thanks). If Your Content Gets the Highest Number of Thanks, I will send you a PM, with the necessary (digital size/format) to send me, along with a Permission Statement for you to sign and send back to me.

Whitefeather, plus 1-3 additional Friends (TBD) will give Final Approval of the Video. Once they approve it, I’ll post the Video on YOUTUBE under Private viewing.

I’ll then post the Link on the Forum. After a while on the Forum (7-10 days), and if there is general acceptance, I’ll change the Video to Public Viewing, and everyone can promote it the way they want to.


*Please note: I WILL NOT INCLUDE MY PERSONAL CREDITS ON THE VIDEO --- except as one of the Contributors. At the end of the Video, there will be rolling credits of all the Contributors --- but only the Contributors who want to be listed and associated with the Video. Also, only with permission, will I share the Project Avalon association or link at the end.



Time Length of Project

I think it would take about 4-6 weeks to complete this project. I work quickly, but at this time have many projects I’m working on.



***** Please Do Not Post your Content until I Post a Follow Up Post ---saying IT'S A GO *******



*Also, if this project is a GO, then I might need the help of the administrators to show me the best way to arrange the PMs since I’m not sure how the backend would work.*

I think it's a wonderful idea. I would hope you make it advertizing free.

edit: ...the curly clip can't be embedded to play sorry.

Thanks MOJO,
Well all I'm going to do is make it and post it on YouTube. I don't wish to generate $$$ for myself, but hopefully "good will/wealth" will be generated to all.

Very interesting, very creative, very positive, very considerate, very well intentioned, very effective, very community like, very much contributing, very many possibilities to manifest something good...

With so many very's, this idea can only grow into something fruitful, How great of you Alie and Whitefeather to suggest this and to want to invest so much of your time and creativity in such a project! I hope that many members will respond in good will and each put a piece of our hearts and good energies in this vision.

BIG THANK YOU!

Hey Whitefeather :) some good quotes can be found (I think) in Paulo Coello's book : Warrior of light - A manual", It depends what type of messege Alie and yourself has thought about, and to what type of audience...

Last week I talked to a friend about some things that sparked her interest .. However, this friend has asked me later on laughingly to wich 'cult' I belong. I told her I belong to the 'cult' of human beings - one heart, usually two arms, two legs, seven billion in number, and that she belongs to the same 'cult' as well :-)

To what type of audience are you directing your 'You tube' video,Alie and Whitefeather?

Perhaps A banner of project Avalon should be included as well, and a still of Bill Ryan if approved.

I believe Planet Earth Movement Perhaps. Not quite sure yet, we are up to any suggestions as a collective.

Good question Limor

The audience ... Well if you haven't seen yet the Curly Video (it won't embed so you have to go to YouTube Go HERE and Watch it now (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KAF5AASdYo&feature=related) it talks about "the secret to life is 1 Thing".

My idea is that those who want to participate have probably found "1 thing" that they think the secret to life is. What mine is would be different from Whitefeather's or Limor's but the beauty of this project would be that we on the forum would vote for the ones we want on the video --- whatever 1 thing resonates with them.

So each of the photos, soundbytes, quotes or sayings, music would represent to that person their "1 thing". Whatever the final outcome of the video is, is our collective 1 thing.

Who do I think the Video is addressed to? Well I think of it as a vibrating message, meant to go around the world. Who ever would see it and share it, are meant to see it and share it. It's like a fluid thing that WE ON PA Forum get to create collectively, just like the Virtual Choir. So, it's yet to be determined a storyboard.

IMO, It has a combo. sound of Africa and a hint of Egypt/India perhaps. Awesome!

This is definitely a great video. You notice how the main message is a multitude of layers over the music and musician? Now if we find the right singer or band that has the perfect words for us that will allow us to use their music ... then I can do that (sort of -- would be photos rather than video footage). So calling all Avalon musicians -- do you have a song you want to share with us? We would love to hear it.

Thanks Bennycog --- that's what I hope to achieve --- I absolutely don't have any comedy in me --- very introspective rather than comedic. So, based on what members put forth --- that's what it'll be. It's a collective rather than a known subject at the moment.

Hi Starchild -
Well, at this very moment we really don't have enough interest to create the momentum we need to make it happen. But I believe we'll see this project catch on in the next few days ---- then we'll open it up to everyone to post what they want and I think for about a week.

OF COURSE, you can post your favorite things now, even though it'll be a few days before we decide about making the video.

Since this project needs a lot of original material, it really must resonate with a good number of PA Forum Members so they are motivated to take part.

Can we sing this song? It's so suitable & I know all the moves - especially the clapping at 1min 52 secs. I still sing it into my hair-brush most days, while gyrating around my lounge.

Mulder - what a blast from the past --- I Love the energy of that song and of course the entire Grease soundtrack. Now here's an idea --- since I can only work with original content ---- YOU can send a clip of you singing this song ----> if that is indeed your 1 Thing you want to share with the world. What do you think?

I agree,,,, it should be presented with an invigorating platform, that is the intention.
