    Default I've got and idea...

    Kaltxi niwotx,

    Having read the post http://www.avatar-forums.com/general...tml#post290596 and others like it regarding how we are damaging our planet I had a little idea!

    On this forum we talk a-plenty about the ‘want and destruction’ humans are doing to this planet and how the film Avatar has opened people’s eyes. There various posts about individuals trying to change their ways. However, there is not a lot of discussion about how we can help others to change and help them ‘see’.

    So here’s my wacky idea: How about we create our own little film about the our home planet, the damage we are doing to it, why it is important to change our ways and what people can do in there every day lives to make a difference.

    How could we do it? Well my thought is that we each say our own little bit to camera (could even be a cell/mobile phone). It could then be uploaded to the net where it could be downloaded and edited together to make a film from all of us to show anybody else.

    I would be more than happy to pull it together into a video that could then be uploaded to sites like You Tube etc. We could then encourage people to view it and hey, we might just make a small difference to helping people change their ways. It would be our collective contribution to try and do something rather than just talk about it. I would also do some DVD copies to be sent to the contributors.

    It would be quite an achievement for the community here to have created something together without actually needing to meet face to face. It would also show what a group of people from all over the world and all walks of life, who didn’t even know each other five months ago, can achieve. 'Outstanding'' even!

    So what do people think? Would anyone be interested in this experiment in international film making to try and make a difference? I’d love to hear peoples thoughts. Even if they think I'm a skxawng!

    Alan

    I think it would be a great project to try out.

    Alan, I love this idea. I would most certainly contribute! I am not much of an editor, but I would contribute a video to the cause! We could also get to meet each other in a way

    This thread will be watched closely by me

    I have pledged my support for aiding in the production. Anyone interested perhaps find others that might be interested.

    Already have a couple ideas to add. I personally have noticed that my jogging path near my home has a good deal of litter. I'm planning on taking a few trash bags out there and cleaning it up. We could all video some beautiful areas that are damaged by humans and show that we can make a difference with before/after shots... ionno just an idea.

    I do not have a synth to work on this much, but I am already working on some concepts for the score. Titled: Century Technology. It is going to implement ambiance such as clock sounds along with the music as percussion.

    I'm living just a few feet away from the forest, so I could make some real nice shots of natural forest beside the ways, I would be very happy to contribute to this movie.
    But I have to admit, mango trees don't grow here in Germany

    Hell lets do it
    People have no idea just how much choice they have in the universe. We will find a way never to wake up

    - "Smart enough to be afraid, stupid enough to do it"
    - "All rivers lead to the ocean, the difference between me and you is this. I'm the guy wondering where the oceans go"
    - "Please, the improbability of the mere existence of you and I is so vast it makes Pandora's existence seem definite. Regardless... Probability can suck it, I'll do what I want."
    - "We need stories as much as they need us... and that's really saying something considering they depend entirely on our imaginations to exist."
    - "No matter where I go in life people are constantly using the phrase "Out there in the real world" in the street, in the office, in the home... you name it. Where is this damned reality and why is it so persistently elusive?"

    That sounds awesome count me in... I'm terrible with cameras, but if you need any code tinkering (say an interactive feature or something) I'm your guy.
