this idea turned up in the shoutbox last night, so I thought I'd pick it up and take it here:
Wouldn't it be nice to have a little video where all the wikiloops jammers are shown, including their national location and their recording setup at home?
I can imagine going two ways: Either, we agree on a wikiloops track that shall be the main soundtrack running thru the vid - then anyone can play along to that track, video this and send in the result - I'd cut that up and try to make it a watchable video, transporting some of the fun of wikiloops.
Another, even simpler approach would be a vid with one soundtrack played thru. and the members just saying hi to the camera (maybe with instrument in hand), like "Hey, I'm Dick from Germany, and I play bass on wikiloops!"... the more, the crazier, the better. Even tho it might sound strange, you could even add a really short three second "I go off on my instrument like this"-Solo, if its cut well, it wont necessaryly be received as not fitting to the background track (we could agre on some basic key, too....)
Of course, it would be nice to "see" you all that way, and it might make a nice little promo trailer underlining the international team spirit on wikiloops.
Let me know what you think, it would be good if we could agree on a video framerate / encoding type before we start, otherwise we'll run in to synchronisation probs when cutting...
so whos in?
