Upcoming Video Editing Events :D

[Lea]

Hello! Posting as Izaya Lea (evidently I have issues reading the top bar) here because he's the plotter beast and because I'm too lazy to sign in as Neku

So, as you can probably tell, the October video contest neeeever really happened... sorry guys

However, we do have some other events scheduled that maybe will be a little more exciting. So I need some votes! Pick which formats you're interested in most like in the poll.

I'm thinking of having a Christmas event and a Valentine's event for now, but I'm open to suggestions.

Also, I'm also opening song suggestions for the above events. Remember these events will be Otherborn related! The songs could go on a contest's challenge list, or could be the subject of an MEP.

For those of you whose representations don't come from easily obtainable footage, if you're interested, let us know which animated characters could stand in for you - like, for example, we're using Kairi for Shiki right now. I don't have any ideas for Neku, so feel free to use anyone for him since there's like.... a minute of him in the KH:DDD trailers so far? D:

[Demyx]

Oooh, I like the MEP and WORM ideas! :3 A WORM could be good if we each, say, focused on our individual characters, picked a "theme song" of sorts for them, etc.

My brain's pretty dead right now; I have no idea what song would be good for a Christmas Otherborn MEP xD;; I'll have to go a-searching~

[Namine Joy LeBeau]

WORM!!!!! And I agree with Demyx~

Also... Christmas Song Idea~

The Devil Wears Prada- Louder Than Thunder (i know over used song, but I think it'd be pretty as a Christmas Video besides it basically talks about the main themes of said holiday)

[Shiki]

I'm all for the MEP and WORM ideas. ^^

Like Demyx, my brain is dead at the moment. So I'll go song searching amd see what I come up with!

[Lea]

Oooo! I like it. (Personally, I don't think there's such a thing as an 'overused' song as long as it's a decent song and you don't just copy the existing vids. BUt I know that's not the popular opinion...) Let's put that on the list!

[Namine Joy LeBeau]

YAY!!!! (Cool!)

((Also... Whenever you log in as Neku again... I sent you (a) message(s)... I'm not really sure how many I sent actually ^^'))

But anyways... Valentines Day Idea~

Smile - Avril Lavigne

[Lea]

Alright, I'll go check that account now, and add that to the list!

[Namine Joy LeBeau]

Thank you and YAY!!!!!!

[Aya Brea]

Personally I prefer MEPs over WORMS, WORMs remind me of flipping through TV channels and seem so... Strange.

Is this turning into some kind of studio? xD My votes are for Louder then Thunder and for Valentines day... IDK, any would work really for me. I'll go hunt a song

GOT ONE! Let Me Go by 3 Doors Down (We need at least one rock option)

[Neku Sakuraba]

LOL, awesome! Would that be for VDay? Or Christmas? (I'm guessing VDay XD) And it should, we should call it "Otherborn Productions" and have an official channel end averything! But if we did Mom would yell at me abou putting too much on my plate - honestly, I haven't even told her about my promotion yet XD

[Aya Brea]

My suggestion is for Vday.

It's not that difficult running a studio if you have people helping you out or if you got a lot of freetime. Besides, your promotion in CTS isn't going to add too much, it's pretty much just helping Em and I decide things

[Neku Sakuraba]

Oh god, I should've turned you down - I can't make decisions for ANYTHING, LOL~

Edit: And your suggestion has now been added. The lazy way. But it has been added.

Edit2: Aya's suggeston is no longer lazy.

[Lea]

Aya and Noctis should appreciate the new suggestion for VDay, and to counter out some of the happy goody-goody, Newleaf suggested a rather creepy suggestion for the Christmas section, which will go up shortly.

[Shizuo Heiwajima]

I have a VDay song!

Alone In This Bed (Capeside) by Framing Hanley. A very touching song that means a lot to me!

[Lea]

Wow.... very sad, but very beautiful. Definitely going on the list.
