Well we have a max of 3 minutes so i think we setup a list of all the people that want to collaborate then we allot everyone equal time. once this is done we can edit them together.

It was suggested in chat, that we all come up with images, clips and audio, and place them in a public repository (i.e. the wiki) for anyone interested to be able to download and attempt to edit into their own three minute creation. At the end of that, we could then have a poll on here to determine which one we want to use.

Also, just my personal touch - but I think it would make a lot of sense to end the clip with the "There's no place like home" sequence from Wizard of Oz.

well, many hands make light work as "they" say, just as long as we've got enough time to review everyone's efforts and make a decision by the deadline.

Makes sense also, for people with an eye for 3 minute shorts to be doing the final editing.

As to reminding her of who she is, perhaps some clips from her blog videos would work. And if anyone has video of the Watershed meeting, that would probably be good as well. They mention using audio as well as visual. The MeiGeist theme song is possibly a good idea, if a bit meta, and maybe we could have everyone with recording equipment just get a quick clip of themselves saying "Wake up, Eva" or something of that sort.

You know, I think that maybe Jediwannabe has a good point about the Wizard of Oz sequence. And I'm thinking of things we've all probably seen in movies where there are quick flashes of images that take only a few seconds to view, but which can make for an entire story.

Since the Wizard of Oz seems to be quite a thing with Eva, why don't we theme the whole sequence that way? What I mean is, we can correlate images from the things that have happened to Eva with images from Oz, to tell help her see that if Dorothy could manage to find her way back home, then Eva can, too. So I'm thinking something like, first show a picture of Miss Gulch, then one of the villains (maybe morphing from one to the other), and then showing the field of poisonous poppies and cutting or morphing to the product she ingested, etc. And at the end, show Dorothy saying, "There's no place like home" and then waking up as Eva.

What I'm thinking is that if it is themed this way, then the psychological pull to wake up will be greater--the Wizard of Oz hits fans of it on such a visceral level that it is almost like putting Eva under hypnosis to do things this way.

That's an excellent idea, Pied Piper. I'm not sure about using the Geist theme tune, as it may be the trigger to put her under.

Then again, if that was the case, she would have gone under at the Watershed.

Maybe it'd be an idea to end the clip with an eye opening, symbolising Eva waking up?

Let's get it started....

Thunderwolf

I have set up an ftp share where people can drop useful images, video clips, audio etc.

the details are as follows:

server: ftp.triplesix.co.uk
username: geistSPLATtriplesix.co.uk
password: NoCoincidence

Password is case sensitive and there's a 200 Meg quota on there, so don't fill it up with garbage Smile

EDIT: To upload files you'll need an ftp client, I recommend filezilla which you can get from http://filezilla.sourceforge.net

enter the server in the "address" box,m and the UN / PW in their respective boxes.

the file list on the left shows local files stored on your computer. the list on the right shows files stored on the FTP server.

to upload just select the file you want to upload from the box on the left and right-click, then select "upload"

you can upload multiple files at once if you wish.

I've posted the 'there's not place like home' clip and the geist song on there.

I'm probably doing something wrong but can't get into the ftp site! I don't even get a username/password prompt

pah! I'll be there tomorrow night though.
