Dyno advised I post here, so here goes:

Was thinking about videos and YouTube filming, and the thought occurred that what I've not seen from MCME is a good job video. Now, personally speaking, I like looking at things that have already been done, but there's only so many times you can watch a tour of the server; what would be better would be to film some of the jobs, especially the larger ones.

In terms of style, I'm thinking of something like the FyreUK team produce. Their timelapse techniques would - with a few changes - work really well on larger jobs, and similar techniques could be adapted to make neat little videos or slideshows for smaller jobs.

Is just an idea, and I'm happy to give it a shot and tinker with the format a bit, was just wondering what people thought

I guess it would depend on what's available. At the minute, the High Moor jobs could provide at least a short video, and there's always the jobs restricted to artists and designers, if they don't mind being filmed....

Both good points; DSESGH, I suspect that's just a difference between likes and dislikes, as I can quite happily sit and watch a fifteen minute building video

_Luk, I get your point about the different building styles affecting the videos. One of the differences I was thinking of, though, is a more personal style of filming, try something like following a small crew or individual doing something more detailed-oriented (like an interior or a single house).

I dunno, I think part of the reason that I'm keen on this is that it better shows the community side of the server. To quote Finrod from another post, 'The official main goal of the server is simply building middle-earth. But actually it's rather "Building Middle-Earth together"', and I think having a video that shows that would be awesome

Sounds like a plan Apart from anything else, I'm trying to get my girlfriend to sign up - think she'd enjoy the building - and I was going to rope her in with the filming somehow as well
