Ernie: Uhhh, the idea is to make use of an existing movie, a horse race video
that is in the public domain. All we would need to do is create a new sound track. True, it really should be thought through, to get everything right, but that part of the process is fairly easy and does not take a lot of time. And this is to discuss just 5 minutes or so of video, no big elaborate production. The tricky part would be to find a good quality public domain video. Even that should not be very difficult, just that it might take some time. With some thought I could write the script in an afternoon. Recording the soundtrack would take more than 5 minutes, of course, that is only the final product length. We would need to dub in crowd noises and the opening bugle call, but that would pretty much be it. Plus the announcers' words. ---------------------------- You are right, of course, about trying to ride two horses at the same time, so to speak. But I kind of think we are maybe about three weeks from a website -if all goes well. Could be longer, I can't say. However, I think (as a guess, no solid evidence for this) the problem is that you are reluctant to come up with a goal for Centroids, an image of what RC.org should become in the future. In a way this is OK; I have not had such an image myself, just some rather vague concepts along the lines of eventually becoming a new "New America.Foundation" with its own publication, call it Pacific Monthly, or "The Pacific." But this is still fuzzy. However, thinking about it, even this not-well-conceptualized idea is a sort of model of clarity compared to, uhhhh, an even less well defined concept, namely yours. I have no idea at all what you would like to see Centroids become. What would you like to see RC.org become?

Making a watchable movie is even harder. Still, if we ever do a Kickstarter for a Radical Centrist book, that horse race would make a great promotional video… E -- -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <[email protected]> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Google Groups<http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism> groups.google.com Google Groups allows you to create and participate in online forums and email-based groups with a rich experience for community conversations.
