A Possible Multi-Editor Project? [Changed to The Nutcracker]

[WhereNext]

i would actually suggest placing the song pre cut up into segments and all placed in a zip folder, so we can choose parts easier.

[NiTsukiOutlaw]

I agree, some kind of zipped file, so at least you all have the same version of the song...so that you guys can coordinate where pieces 'link' together. However, I was talking about when the video is finished for distribution to the rest of us

[Radman]

Intriguing premise....most intriguing....

I'll look into it, and my bro would likely be interested too. I'll say good luck right now, just in case you never see me here again

[Jester_Borris]

I'm in if you'll have me.

And now from some thoughts:

Perhaps you could break the piece into movements to cut back on having one large file.

E.X. Beethoven's 9th - First Movement
Beethoven's 9th - Second Movement
...

Most classical pieces have musical movements to them so it could serve as a natural break or transition for the finsihed product as well as help with the issue of 'one giant file to rule them all'.

I'm not sure how that would work, I've never heard all of the 9th Symphony.

Another idea would be to author a DVD and have people pay for postage, assuming no other acceptable alternitive is found. This is an extream case however.

I'm not sure how that would work, I've never heard all of the 9th Symphony.

I have to mention again that I don't quite think this one will work. 9th symphony IS a great piece, but for a MEP it doesn't have enough variation to keep the audience NOR the editors interested throughout the whole 74 minutes. For example I can imagine every editor wanting to make the Ode to Joy-part and some peaceful slow parts are left out without any editor wanting to take'em.

..and I still think that if you want to make long classical MEP then pick up Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker

For example I can imagine every editor wanting to make the Ode to Joy-part and some peaceful slow parts are left out without any editor wanting to take'em.

I'd volunteer for a slow peacefull part. And as far as it goes for "Ode to Joy", since it's the European hymn, there should be a contest amongst the European participants for it.

My greatest concern is that not enough editors are willing to join. In the moment one dozen editors have shown interest, means 6.5 min per editor. That's to much, we need at least 30, better 50 editors to get acceptable slices.

[SephirothJenova]

Well, I'm considering changing this project a little bit. I don't have any way to upload clips/tracks until I get back to college on the 20th. I'll probably upload something really fast then and have the tracks going off then.

<b>Announcement:</b> I'm thinking about changing the music of this project. I did want to do something to Beethoven's 9th Symphony originally, but his symphony is too calm and wouldn't keep anyone interesting in it. I'm taking FoxJones advice and switching to the Nutcracker. Tchaikovsky's music is more famous around the world, and the MEP would be more whimsical than dreadful. There's a little audio editing I need to do for these tracks also, so it'll probably take me two weeks to get everything ready for the uploads.

Any comments and/or suggestions on the change?

In the words of a failed McDonald's marketing campaign, "I'd hit it."

I'd hit it like the fist of an angry god...

which means..."ooh ooh....me me!!!"

I would like in on this please, in case you aren't into subtle smart-assedness

I'd be interested in joining either way, but I do think the Nutcracker would be a more interesting, with more variation. To increase reviewability it should be really easy to just view a small section of the project, I think you have a greater chance at that with the Nutcracker, as it's more sliceable.
I also think the anime should be chosen with care. Azumanga Daioh and Akira would both go well with the nutcraker suite, but it in a very different way, so putting them side by side would propbably be a bad idea.

The Nutcracker? Could be difficult with Noir. Nonetheless, count me in. I have to listen to it first and than to decide if I can either do something with Noir or I have to rent anime which fits better.
