Nika I like your deeply thought out ideas but I'm afraid Pooby's is a winner for me because
a) its easily understandable message (think about the audience) b) its ability to encompass multiple contributors. c) the correct level of epicness (your last one was too full of epic and confused the message) perhaps instead of thinking new plot lines you could come up with interesting characters or what the characters could be doing along the way as your scripts have been vividly detailed thus far. am already planning my piece for the SI animated character protest, am leaning towards some kind of walking cloud with flock of seagulls. also, thinking about this further, not everyone is going to be able to model / animate / simulate / render / composite their own segments.. there will have to be some way of sharing out some of each characters work between multiple contributors. I think for those softimage folk who do want to completely manage most of their characters production should, like Paul already has volunteered with his viral character, just say so and also perhaps which parts of production they may need assist on? eg - for my submission am aiming to do some BG plate filming around London , am good for modeling / simulating / rendering but may need help with animation and possibly compositing if we are to use the FX tree I'm rubbish at character animation (was thinking of using some re targeted motion captures) so maybe to use a shared rig with walk cycle. standing up in a chair. etc and am happy to help folks with ICE and simulating, maybe some cloth sim, whatever. also general assist :) anyways that list of contributors needs to be added with some more fields in for character types and breakdown of tasks per segment. am assuming that not every character will be needed doing the same thing throughout the entire sequence of events. for example there could be like 6x stand up from desks, 5x walking outside door 10x walking past world landmarks etc. just needs a breakdown and which characters are needed doing what. also when the characters come together will need some thoughts on assembly and perhaps a dedicated crew for those shots
