Pitching vid challenge idea...

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hi,

I've been toying with the idea of a multi-fandom vid challenge, in the style of a comment vid meme. Basically, anyone who has an idea or song for a vid would leave it in a comment and vidder would claim a prompt that interested them, make a vid and share it.

Why you may ask? I think it would be a great way to inspire vidders, it would allow non vidders (or vidders if they wish) to request a fanvid (there's not a lot of opportunity to do that I feel - unless you win a vidder in an auction or have a good vidding friend), it would be a way to engage with other fans and to enjoy the feeling of making a vid for someone else.

However. This won't work if vidders aren't interested. So I thought I'd conduct a poll to gauge the interest and see if it's something worth pursuing. It's in no way binding of course.

I have no desire to clash with any other vidding challenges (namely the awesome festivids) so if something like this did happen the timing would be taken into consideration.

Also, I am not precious about this. If there's no place for it I'd rather be told. :)

I voted.

This sounds intriquing. I have never made a vid using someone else's prompt or on a deadline before.

I actually really enjoy the challenge of working from someone else's prompt. The few auction vids I've made have been very satisfying. Challenging, but a great experience. It's also nice (I find anyway) making a vid for someone else..)

Thanks for voting.

I love this idea, I work best when given an idea and knowing that at least one person wants to see it is a real motivation.

So sign me up, if you decide to run with it :)

Hee ... yes... knowing that at least one person will watch it!

I think it will be going ahead. I'm in the throes of putting together a plan. It will be pimped here so keep an eye out. :D

And thanks..
