Just updated my idea for the storyline. It's more of a teaser as a matter of fact. In any case, it's completely open for discussion.

@ davhar there hasnt been made any decisions about the proyect yet, there is actualy a storyline about making this a documentary etc... please reed the info available at thepalalias wiki, as the personal view wiki is temporaly down

I think we need to work on something before the story, which is the context of it. We can't avoid the fact that we'll have, say- 20 different looking pieces to put together. Obviously that must be part of the story. It can't be justified away. It is intrinsic to the overall story and each sequence within it.

Something like a website around which a global community is gathered makes sense. It would allow for and, indeed, encourage the different looks of the different teams. But there needs to be a reason for it to exist and for some underlying conflict to be explored if this is to be a narrative film. And that has been decided, right. This is to be a movie, not a documentary or simple compilation of pretty pictures in little scenes. This is a movie that we want to play in theatres and be seen around the world. Correct?

So what are our strengths and weaknesses? "THERE'S CAMERAMEN EVERYWHERE!"

I suggest we bounce that idea around and see what sticks. It can be about anything but we must recognize in the story itself that it is shot by many and not one. And so then the question is "why?" What is the point of this exercise? We should assume it's because we all want to make movies and so we are collaborating, and go from there

@davhar none taken, i apologise back :)

either way, my point also was that, the debt issue, it feels to me like a regional issue with global indirect consecuences, i´m mean, right now in my country, Chile, there are a half million people movilized for free and quality education (of a total of 17 million), and in Colombia also, and there has been minor marches on Argentina, Bolivia, Mexico and Equator i believe, so to me, it feel almost like if i was proposing to make a movie with everyone here, but with the subject of the free and quality education, something that i feel is a national to regional issue, if you want to propose a story for everyone here, may i propose you to write something about what are the political local consecuences that internet has on the traditional human social structure, that can be attached by the local groups to their local/regional conflicts, and to be focus on the human consecuences of that, or something like that, but...

hahahh i was close though, just a couple of miles away, Canada hahah say hi to terrance & phillip ;)

@Lolo @Vitaliy_Kiselev Thank you guys. It`s pretty great to see how much has gotten done in just a couple days because of how much you guys have done so quickly.

@Lolo I`m sorry the amount of work has gotten in the way of developing your own creative ideas. I`ve had some of that, too with the last Wiki (but I wanted to try to help make sure it didn`t all fall on your shoulders). But I think it should even out quickly, because a lot of the challenge is in the setup. Either way, thank you.

Hmm, submitted a story to the wiki but then it was removed...

@Vitaliy_Kiselev i´ll do it on my afternoon, i have to leave the computer now :) thank you for your effort !

@Elenion sure, no problemo

Of course from the moment that we have an organised platform we can work and put stuff online, but a moderator is always necessary, do you think you could take this role?
I don't even know how to make a new page (-_-)"

@lolo
i think he meant just to do the same thing you were doing with the other page

Thanks!

Okay, well voting is definitely top of the list. What are some of the other options? Maybe someone more experience with the infrastructure could be more helpful than I on that count. :)

Who wants to maintain this page? Lolo, are you up for it?

@Vitaliy_Kiselev I think we would all love that - it does sound easier. :)

Anyway, we have the current wiki up at http://moviecollab.wikispot.org/ but if you want to add the plugs etc. here, just let us know what timeline you think that could happen in, so that we can gauge how much to try and rely on the other site. :)

Thanks again for the GH2 hack that made the collaboration video that inspired this project possible. :)

@Mimirsan Did you want to add that as a separate story idea or only want to support Davhar's? If it's the former, you can do so at http://moviecollab.wikispot.org/Storylines and if it's the latter, you can vote for it once the voting starts.

So far the suggested voting timeframe is late next month (December, 2011).
