A seed of an idea that would welcome the nurturing manure and compost of your thoughts...
[/charm offensive]

Basically we pool our resources, whatever they be, to come together on suggested projects. By suggested projects I mean a SZ member has an idea, it could be Space Bandit wants a video for one of his tracks, someone here can make videos....you see where this is going? It could be a music track itself with all parts recorded separately, an infovid for a campaign a member is involved with, producing a newsletter, an animation idea needing animating, voicing etc. The only restrictions I see are our imaginations and technological limits.

If we use the platforms we already have available to promote them from within SZ (The social media SZ pages or website 'tools' etc) then any idea could be supported/shared from the construction process through to 'distribution' by the whole SZ community hopefully providing a bit more motivation and/or inspiration than trying to go it alone.

So, thoughts folks?

Yes I'm happy to undertake any sound related tasks.
I'd really like to see us put together a documentary.

Zero tech skills. Zero imagination. Zero focus.

So if you need help, bell me.

G'wan......

And rather than us trying to list skills I felt it would be better if we shared ideas because we may be overly modest and trying to handpick a team.

A bit like this thread, plant an idea then see if enough hands are willing to tend to it so it grows.

No defined idea at the minute.... it would need to be discussed!
But I'd go for something along the lines of why everything is wrong and offering solutions.
It could be reasonably simple with a good narrative & sourcing video content. & it would wank all over TPV.

I can see the amount of consensuses spiralling a bit though!

Someone make me rich with interactive headstones Andy.

Just and idea...but maybe doing the "everything is wrong" type doc, instead of showing the big bad scary system which are being pumped out incessantly,

Instead it is done in a much more calm balanced way, and instead of this omnipotent cabal, it is presented rather as just power-hungry greedy "humans" and show the frailty side of them i.e their weaknesses...not that they need zimmer frames etc

This in my opinion would have more impact than the fear clarion those like [well you know who].....it can then give those who access this information, a far better and approachable perspective free from fear-mongering or the ass kissing bbc type as well...show those who are "running" this system as flesh and blood humans who are far weaker than they ever want others to know...hence the desperate need for control and to stifle humanity from ever coming to that realisation that they are powerless without utilising everything they can to suppress....rather than the omnipotent supernaturally connected demons kind of talk......just a thought...........

Maybe everything isn't wrong... I was just going off what Moby said.

10 Things We Could Change Tomorrow.

And then obviously we choose 10 things, illustrate the current approach and alternatives.

I'm quite taken with the idea of a doc but sorry folks, I'm sticking my pragmatic head on.
A worthy doc of what's wrong and things that can be done to address it is no small undertaking.

As a maiden project it's a lot to ask.

May I humbly suggest trying to make a few apairofteeths before attempting a main course?

How about a lightbulb lol

I'm certain we have the skills & resources to be able to do it. It could be a long project but it would be interesting & pretty rewarding I reckon.

But yeh maybe a shorter idea first.... bit of a taster.

If you guys do a really good job maybe you'll get on tpv
