The Improv Project

Do you need an intro intro or an intro that gives you information about what is going on in the vid, one that explains the rules etc. ?

Did you enjoy it?
Yes I did.

Would you do it again?
Yeah why not. It was fun to edit with a random song you get. It really forced me into stuff that I usualy won´t edit. Ah... doesn´t mean that it went bad. Let´s say it got into alternative editing. It was amusing to suck out a short concept out of my fingers for it.

If I did do something like this again, what would you have me do differently?
I´m pleased. Maybe the front page about the used sources could have been updated more often.

I enjoyed it, I'd do it again.

I had fun going "[anime series deleted for anonymity]?!?! They used [deleted]??? ... [deleted]!!!... *ponders* Yeah, I guess that could have worked..."

As for improv-ements I still think you can do a two people editing at once scheme to get this done in half the time. Just find someone else who you can trust not to drop out and *ka-chink* link the two ladders together at the end.

That and don't tease your backup editors.

No, just a simple title screen of sorts that says "The Improv Project".

I might think about an intro. Uhm @all: I might have an idea for a nice intro, but I would welcome it if you think about a possible intro too

I did enjoy the whole concept, it was kinda boring though since it takes forever and the rules shouldn't have been bent I am pretty sure you gave random noobs one extra week because they always had some random excuse ;p

What I didn't like was when the coordinator said that it's finished but he'll wait another 2 weeks because he's too lazy to just make some images float for some intro >:O

Well yeah, I'm not sure if I'd do it again, probably if the next line-up of editors will be better as in more disciplined to actually do it in one week or less (since that was fine too. I mean if you're sick for 3 days you can still make the video during the next 4, Jesus ;>).

Loved the concept, loved the execution of the concept and I loved a lot about everything in the project as a whole.

However, I really didn't like the waiting. Waiting for my track, waiting for the project to get finished, waiting to hear from people, yadah yadah.

I'd love to do this again. :O

Why? What's left to do?

As for reflections and whatnot, it reminded me a lot of the Telephone Project, except that not much happened in the thread. Because of this, I was able to completely forget about the project sometimes.

I'd probably join again if you were doing another one. Quickies are fun, even when they turn out like crap.

Sure did! It gave me a chance to make a completely different kind of AMV, which was really fun. Then seeing the next guy's anime choice and wondering how it would turn out...I'm excited to see.

Yeah, I'd totally do this again, it was a while lot of fun. The only thing that I might say to add is maybe some warning in advance. Just a simple PM saying "you will be the next to edit next week, be ready" or something. Might be helpfull to some people so they know to expect their song sometime within a week or two. But I don't know if it really matters.

Ok, fine. In the interest of following our fearless leaders wishes the rest of this post will NOT be by me. It will be by a totally anonymous project member. But it isn't me. Honest. You don't know who it is. The fact they happen to have the same username as me is just a weird coincidence.

Did you enjoy it?

Eh, it was ok.

Would you do it again?

There are ideas that are so fun you do them over and over and over again. Like performing cunnilingus on a 12 year old girl. Then there are ideas that may have sounded good but doing them once is enough. Like performing fellatio on a 12 year old boy. This is one of those 'once was enough' ideas. Do it again and it'll be as old and stale as AMV Hell 69.

If I did do something like this again, what would you have me do differently?

Remind people to not pick songs that just plain suck. Humorously bad, fine. Just plain bad, boring.
