DVXuser.com Feature movie??

I actually tried to post here this morning but my comp screwed up and I just realized it didn't go through. Basically what I was gong to say has been said by now. I like the multiple cities idea, it would give more people a chance to get involved. I, too, am game from the Fresno area!

As far as proceeds we could either do charity or plan it out ahead of time where we split the money equally between everyone. That is if it got picked up. The end of the world idea would be possible, as long as we avoid over used cliches.

The first step is to get a team of writers together (hopefully I'll be included in that team :grin:) and start to collect ideas from the group about themes then narrow it down until we have a plot line that will work and go from there.

As to what Dustin said just above, it is funny because in my missing post I said the same thing! This was your idea, man, but if you don't want to be in charge of keeping it organized then we should find someone who would like to. (Did I just volunteer?)

I'm heading to the cafe to add to the thread over there, maybe even paste this whole post. Later!
 
Cool idea...one thing though comes to mind. Somebody has to spearhead the project. There has to be a director with his sole vision otherwise things get all muddy. It isn't by coincidence that the best projects I've been involved in had a director whom was very specific in what he wanted to get. The idea of a bunch of people making different parts or segments and stringing it together doesn't seem like it'd result in something good. Perhaps a better way to describe this would to have a director with a story come about and essentially hire nothing but DVXusers to put the whole thing together. That is something I could see happening and at least then the product is built from one sole directors vision.

I see where this could cause problems, but as long as the story is written in a way that it could be filmed by different groups, it would allow more folks from different areas to get involved. If no one steps on any toes and minds their own business, things could work out.

Dustin seems like a likely candidate.
 
I second the nomination! And would love to be involved in some form or fashion in the region nearest to me. Am way open to travelling.
 
Ok, I knew I've seen the signs for Waco somewhere. Just havent gone that far south of Dallas yet. I'm game for heading down that direction when production begins. I know there are a plethora of Austinites and apparently a decent sized Waco crew as well. A few other Oklahomans around too. We could have a hefty midwest crew.
 
I think an overseeing director is a good idea. Someone should be in charge of the big picture, unifying all of the pieces and making sure a cohesive product is made. However, I think each city/region needs its own director as well, since I can't imagine the big director having to travel all around the country.

I agree we need a head- looks like Dustin, but I also think the 4 cities thing can work out as well. The cast and crew will just have to be clear on how this film is going to look before shooting, then we will be able to edit together and get something that flows.
 
I think Jason's right, a decent management structure will be necessary to keep the vision going and on the same track across the world.
 
Ok, heres what I'm thinking....

Locations like said before in the US (not set in stone either, just suggestions)
West - Cali
Central - Texas
East - NY
Canada
Rest of world
*obviously people in Germany wouldn't necessarily have to travel to china or Africa*

each location has a director who'd be in charge like hes shooting his own movie, funding it, casting/crewing (preferable with as many willing DVXers as possible) etc

I'd pretty much just be the final yes no guy. for instance the director doesn't feel he/she doesn't know for the sake of the project then they'd come to me and I'd descide...as well as be in the Central crew.

Central Crew represent yo! My only though is what about those in the northern midwest? Nebraska, the Dakotas etc? Not sure how many people are really in that area...

I know Mr. Kyle Stebbins is in Neb. all the locations that are written will vary to the response we get to people, maybe we should have an official in list or something. anyone wanna do that?
