MacRumors video collaboration!

This sounds like it'd be an interesting project. Count me in.

As for the interpretation of apple, I think it should be the fruit. It would still be a subtle hint towards Apple Computers especially since it's from an Apple related website.

some questions -

can we use Macrumors as a refrence ? logo ect ... copyrights need to be looked at if we intend on hosting/promoting here (do not want to get Macrumors in trouble with Apple)

a Wiki or Mac Guide would be awsome - anyone want to set one up ?

a timeframe need's to be set to get this project off the ground

we need to appoint a chief to oversee all the edits from us ( maybe a Mod ?)

once we have a clear outline of our goals - then we can crack on and film/edit this project

if anyone else has more questions please post :)

ALSO : We need to name this project
 
Just to confirm that I am 'in'.

I think it should be an apple as in the fruit and that we should all find our own way to use it.
 
Hello.

Yeah definately the fruit, it's a subtle reference.

I think anyone who is interested, should add their name to irmongoose's list, and get cracking. By PM'ing or just stating their name in bold.

3-5 mins is a good target, but if you fall short, i'm sure you'll have good reason to as sometimes even 3 minutes can seem too long.

Like irmongoose said, the apple should have some significance in the short, but it doesn't have to be the centre peice.

Go have some fun, i know i will.

Rich.
 
Depending on the deadline, then I'm in (I am flat out until mid-April).
Probably a 12 fps stop motion, up to 60 secs max.

Oops. Forgot. KIWI-IN-UK
 
I would like join this project. I am an amautre at filming and editing. Is that okay for this project?
 
Im down.

Ive been looking for a neat project to keep me occupied for a long while.

I think the tossing of the apple from left to right is a great idea...

at the beginning of your clip is the "catching" in some form of an apple from the left.

at the end of your clip is the "tossing" in some form of an apple to the right.

i think we need to agree on what "variety" of apple we are going to use for continuity. You wouldnt want a Golden Delicious and then a Granny Smith...

McIntosh is my vote. ;)

Though, as I was thinking of a name "Apples n Oranges" came to mind, and along those lines some could use an apple others an orange, switching from one to the other from the beginning to the end...just a thought.

if you need someone to edit everything together, Id like to step up to that. I have a decent editing platform and a digital video bachelors degree (BFA), and blah blah blah, but having a degree means I aint in school (must not be I use the word AINT) and have alot of free time to devote to this.

As for getting the files from person to editor, that will have to be thought of. probably a bulk .mac/ftp site for the editor to work from. It could be a place to see the work in progress...but bandwith would be used alot in that sense....

more comments puhleeeeeese!
 
i'd be interested

please add my name to the list. i have some ideas already. I think the apple is a great idea.
 
Here's what i've got to offer.

I'm currently in Madrid, Spain, so I don't have access to any equipment unfortunately...unless I rent, alas, poor graduating college student I am, that probably won't happen. Here is what I do have.

RESOURCES:
Own domain
21 GB storage.
Bandwidth - 1056 GB +8GB each week :-D
FCP HD
Shake 4 (...I don't own it really, cuz I'm poor)
Logic Pro 7
Reason (again, don't own, but have)
(Mad Skillz in FCP, working on the mad skillz in Logic and Shake)
Aperture (again, don't own, but have)
iLife '05
Nikon D70

Oh yeah and I've been getting into photography so I can shoot a photo type short with my Nikon D70 possibly. That being said I also volunteer to edit this together and/or score it, depending on our time frame I will have the bulk of my equipment (digital piano and audio interface) at home when I get back on the 11th of May.

Email or PM me or whatever if you want to talk specifics.

If someone designs a webby for this I might be willing to upload it and give us a home for collaboration! Basically because this is kind of a tough place to organize ideas.

Only a little bit...I don't technically own shake, aperture or reason...so yeah...I do, I used it in my reel. I'll host it sometime this week.
 
Id be willing to do it. Im actually makeing a movie in class about my love for mac... lol gay yes i know but everyone in class thought it would be hillarious... see how it turns out. Its my first real "movie." We'll see how it goes. I also have a good 25GB server with 250GB of bandwith to burn ;). Have a limit on the size of the video though, so let me know.

Also I would also be willing to shoot video of scenery and things like that, i suppose i can enter two. :)
 
Umm sure!

liketom said:
so do you want me to knock up a basic Rapidweaver website ?
Click to expand...

Sure! I think it would be cool if we could get some way for people to submit their stuff too, but that gets into developing a CMS, and that might just be ridiculous.
 
This is a super idea - but don't count me in :eek:

I wish you good luck and am looking forward to seeing what it will end up with :)

Let's declare it the apple!

I think we should just go ahead and make it the apple, that's easy and obvious enough for the viewer...and I'm not just saying this because I already know what I'm going to do, and will probably have it planned out by the end of the day...;)



On a side note, I'm sure some of us including myself don't have .Mac (I know I'm a square, but at 99 dollars a year on a student budget, I'll stay a square thanks) so we probably ought to have something other than a .Mac group, I do like the idea of a RapidWeaver site, they look cool :p

It only takes one person to create and host the .mac group, whether you have a .mac account or not you can still use the group. All you need to do is sign up for a free 60 day .mac trial (student "free!") and at the end of the 60 days the log on ID for .mac is still yours and is not cancelled, only the .mac services are. So everyone without .mac can still get a free ID in order to log into groups, you can even use that same ID for iTunes and other Apple IDs.

This help?

Rapidweaver sites are good, maybe you could use RapidWeaver to expand some of the pages around the .mac group page.
 
.Mac trials are the way !

this way we can uplload video so we can all see it

only other way is website with blogging and comments with a download page for all to see what we have (you will have to upload it to me via my public folder ?)

anyhow i just made this as a demo of what we could have - only took me 3 min :D

and we need to get this moving so do we like the .Mac Group idea ?

Cool, thanks man. I just joined it. I´m going to go work on some storyboards, as my idea is a little intricate. I´m going to go ahead and do the apple anyway even if we don´t use it for the collab, cuz dang I need a project.
 
adding me
irmongoose said:
In all seriousness, I think every film should have it's own take on the apple, i.e. as long as the apple has some significance and appears prominently, it will be a clear enough link between the shorts.

In terms of duration, I think anywhere between 3 - 5 minutes sounds good.

So the list of people surely willing to undergo such a project are as follows:

fatsoforgotso
mangis
Danksi
Lau
jrk07
liketom
whoooaaahhhh
heaven
Oryan
calculus
qpawn
Kingsly
bigbossbmb
irmongoose
Graeme
kiwi-in-uk
GhostFace
Sdashiki
Keebler
Texas04
