Networked filmmaking idea - Page 16 - DVXuser.com -- The online community for filmmaking

Is this thing for real?

As far as I can discern, it's the end of the world (shown how exactly?), and a hooded "death cult" shows up randomly around the world.

Is there more to this idea, and how is the film being assembled?

Is there a director or producer or a politburo deciding what goes in?

Does anyone have an email list of the contributors and is he/she making some effort to contact them?

There seem to be nuts and bolts issues to work out. Probably a dedicated website (like Zombie Nation) would be appropriate?

I don't like the death cult thing

I'm not crazy about the cult, other, though I wouldn't mind keeping it as an option for individual filmmakers. At the very least it shouldn't be a requirement.

This has been tried Many, many times here.... No one can ever agree and then it just goes belly-up.

I would suggest getting a small group together that can agree on a basic concept, hammer it out via
PM's, set a schedule.... and shoot the thing.

Baby steps.... baby steps...

by the way, I just wanted to mention that I wasn't trying to criticize the mods or anything- I think you guys are doing a great job. I actually did take barry's (and I guess kholi's) side in the whole 7d testing thread for what it's worth. I was just trying to get spike a second chance since I hate to see people get banned even if I don't necessarily agree with them on everything.

as far as this thread goes, I guess it's pretty much dead. I thought the logistics of it would have worked as long as it was made up of separate shorts so that you wouldn't have to worry about cutting together, matching looks or having a continuous narrative. as long as they were vaguely related around a theme, I thought it could have worked as snippets or vignettes from different perspectives around the same scenario in different locations. some of the ideas- the hooded 'death cult' (or hackers or terrorists) and graffiti et al- could have just been optional ideas to provide a little continuity. like there could have been a list of around 5-10 elements that people could choose to incorporate maybe 1 or 2 of. the scenario would have to be the same though, and the virus might have been the most promising, who knows.
