hmmm i think i was talking about a Reality show not a feature. sorry i don't have all the knowledge you have from school..... but i can't wait to see your feature! sooo that being said maybe some of you with a camera and some lighting in different cities could we possibly put something together for a pitch and yes it could very well be in your back yard. oh and a story.... well we could just let that unfold and leave it up to me since i have learned a lot from guys like mr. feature man.

I know what you're saying, but if I am not mistaken David was refering to the way this whole thread unfolded. We all just started throwing out ideas and, at the end of the day, nothing happened because that doesn't really work.

EDIT: I guess he did quote your post in his reply. Hmm...I don't really know.
 
Yeah, sorry about that. The post I quoted from Kimko sounded like it was referring to the ongoing convo about making a DVXUser feature film (as per the subject line of this thread) and the resulting issues. So that's what I was talking about. Sorry for the confusion.

That's why making movies by committee rarely works out well. The organization is all wrong from the start. Most of us learned a long time ago that the concept of a bunch of buddies in the back yard with a camcorder doesn't usually translate into a quality production -- even though secretly we probably all think it would be great fun!

This is why DVXUser it self needs to step in and organize this. Assuming they would even want to touch this with a ten foot pole.

I really think the only way to do this is if DVXUser hosted a fest about it and to prevent too many cooks in the kitchen in "ideas", you should (imho) hold a script fest for it. That way everyone and their mother can write a script for it and if you wanted, you could have six people get together and co write a script (this would be up to the users, just like a DVXUser Fest) then all those scripts are voted by us and that would then cascade down to the feature film fest. Having a script fest prevents people from fighting over the story (I like aliens... well I like robots). Simply the script that everyone liked the most and voted on would win.

Now I, or anyone, could start and unofficial DVXUser Script Fest but I fear not as many people would want to jump on the band wagon when it's just a normal Joe like me trying to organize it.
 
Like I said before, I'd be interested in exploring trying to get something like this off the ground. But not right now. Now is insane-busy time. Next year, perhaps.

sorry about that chief! i was putting up my dukes:furious3: too many brain cells missing and i can't get them back!!!! i'm going to talk to the producer i worked with on that reality thing i did in Feb. to see if he'd be interested to do what i want to do and maybe i can get some DVXUSERS in each town or city i go to, tape a segment. if anybody would be interested in that ....e-mail me
 
It seems like someone had a cool concept that went no where. I think you should take your production teams and let them write there own script based off of a central theme. Lets say like Cloverfield for example, make your story about a national or world wide event, the overall story line must follow along the basic script. But each production team writes there own script for there area and how that part of the country or world would react to the event. Maybe a stupid concept, just my 2 cents worth.
 
Why do all of the Canadian DVXUsers have to be so spread out? That's it: I'm moving to LA....

on a serious note: A country or worldwide event that shows personal stories but folds into he whole would be a great project for this. That's a lot of careful planning and production. So many variables to tie together. Might as well hold a DVXUSer camp in one location and whoever shows up, pair them off into teams and send them out to shoot different parts of a script... otherwise the expense would be quite something to deal with. I would hate to be the UPM on a project like that...
