Interesting in concept and execution for those here who follow distributed production techniques. Let me know if you're interested and the attachments don't come through to the Vlog list. Happy New Year! Jan ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Current VC2 Production Team <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Dec 29, 2006 8:10 PM Subject: Shoot and share your New Year's Eve Hi all, Andy and Paul, VC2 Producers from Sydney, Australia, sparked an incredible idea with their post through the Online Studio message board. They wrote: *"Attention all VC2 Producers!!!* *New Year's Eve is coming up quickly and we were thinking why don't we do a pod together of New Year's Eve around the world. * *Tell anyone you know with a video camera to record their New Year's Eve, wherever they are and hopefully together we can make a pod that shows NYE right around the world."* The VC2 Team here at Current loves this idea and is pumped to bring it to fruition. Inspired by Andy and Paul's concept, we're going to work around the clock to craft together your videos into one single killer look at New Year's Eve around the world. So first off, we encourage you to remember to bring your camera out with you and document your NYE experiences. For this assignment, your mobile phone will be sufficient. The logistics: We want to get this compilation pod on air by New Year's Day, meaning we *MUST HAVE* your media and accompanying legal forms (see below) by *9AM PST* (If you are on the West Coast, you might have to pull an all-nighter. I know I will be). To help expedite the delivery of your media, we ask that you send a *MAXIMUM* of 60 amazing seconds of footage. There are three ways that you can get us your video. You will find instructions for your delivery method of choice attached. 1. Instant Messenger 2. FTP 3. www.Yousendit.com <http://www.yousendit.com/> The Legal Info: You'll need to get appearance releases, as always, from those individuals who appear in your footage. We will also need one from each of you. Make sure to circle "worked on" video. This will allow us to use your media in this Pod. *Fax your form(s) to us at (415) 995-8340 by 9AM PST*. Much love to Andy and Paul for the awesome idea. We will be adding updates for this project to the original thread in Studio.
