I'm thinking the narrative should be just that four-line Jimi Hendrix quote out of the song lyrics. There isn't much more that I have to say about the video that wouldn't make the narrative unduly long, so I think doing a really simple and quick lead-in would be appropriate.

Um...what lyrics? Lol. I haven't read them.

The account really is for the group, rather than a duplicate created as a sockpuppet for some individual who got kicked off of the forums or wants to pump up his own opinions ratings. I do think it's important to not lump the project in with my account - since I think it'd suffer from the association.

Well, there is the collaboration system, which all multieditor projects are encouraged to use these days. And recently I've suggested that the site's coders add a nice "et al." after the "anchor" username on various pages with lists of videos. With the influx of multieditor projects now, I don't think it'll be too long before it is implemented.

And uh, I don't know what you're talking about when you say "I think it'd suffer from the association."

Every video has its own bumper with its creator's name anyways.

These song lyrics:

Jimi Hendrix wrote: Strange beautiful grass of green,
With your majestic silver seas
Your mysterious mountains I wish to see closer
May I land my kinky machine?

I'm not sure how well Hendrix will translate to a red-haired female anime character with a faux-Anglo accent and an unnaturally straight and still posture, but it'd be a great quick intro if you think you can pull it off.

If you'd like to hear the phrasing, check the song "Third Stone from the Sun". I can e-mail you a copy, if you don't have one.

If these four lines refuse to work, I'll try re-writing the (excessively lengthy) original narrative/intro for this piece to bring it to a reasonable duration.

Jasper, what I mean by the "suffer by association" is that it'd be at the bottom of a list consisting primarily of very bad videos, with a couple of well-intentioned but technically mediocre ones adding variety to the list. I, unlike you, wasn't talented or patient enough to nail it on my very first video - instead I went through, like, 1337 of the things before finally getting it right (on the second try, at that).

Well, if you insist to look at it that way, then also consider this: the project will also be listed under the profiles of bakadeshi, Otohiko, pen-pen, ooshna, songbird, downwithpants, azraver1022, anubisx00, and yours truly. I really don't think that there will be any problems with association here.

A separate account, on the other hand, might actually create some confusion about who the creators are.

Personally, I wouldn't mind either way - and I don't think people would very much, either. An instrumentality account would keep things a little more neat, an editor-by-editor collab listing would keep things a little more complete.
I'd be more worried about releasing the actual video

So, wait...

When we do the "collab" thing, I know the extra names show up and the video info pages link to our profiles, but...

Does it also put the video under each of our profiles, instead of just the profile of whoever uploaded it?

If so, then that would be just fine.

Yup. Check out the info page and links of recently-released Project REM Sleep for an example.

Yes. That's what it does.

Do you want them spoken or sung? I prolly know the answer, but I'd rather avoid any mistakes.

Spoken, not stirred.

Even Jimi didn't really sing them in the first place. Envision a coffee-shoppe poet, and you probably will have the right idea.
