I Need 4 Volunteer Vloggers

I started vlogging on my personal blog a couple weeks ago, and I have been absolutely taken in. oops.gif It's a lot of fun, and there's something about being able to connect with people in that way that spurs me on.

As with most things I do, I wanted to find a way to include CPers. big_grin.gif

In my search for inspiration, I came across an interesting YouTube channel. There were five friends contributing to the one channel, and each of them posted one vlog entry a week on a certain, assigned a weekday, to the same channel. They would respond to each other's posts and talk about their day, thoughts, etc.

{and the Cat thinks} Hmm... ninja.gif Our CP blog has been sadly without content for quite some time. Hmm....

This is what I propose:

Four CPers (who have permission from their parents to post public videos on the internet) would join me for one month in posting a video a week as a group project.

Video Specifications:
* Videos would be run 2-3 minutes in length, no longer.
* Videos would be posted to a YouTube channel (that we will share) on the day you are assigned (It'll be weekdays only--Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. I will do Mondays.)
* Videos will be posted on the CP Blog on the day they are posted.

Participant Requirements:
* Minimal video editing experience required, but SOME experience is necessary so we can make sure to meet the time restrictions.
* You MUST have permission from your parents to post videos of yourself on a public YouTube channel.

-----------------------------------
Here's how I imagine it will go down:

1. Four awesome people volunteer to play. cheergirl.gif

2. Participants are assigned the days that work for them (Tues-Friday).

3. On the first Monday in April, Mangy posts a vlog entry that introduces herself and the project, what we're doing, and poses a question or topic.

4. The following days, the CP vloggers each post a vlog entry that introduces themselves, responds to other videos, and answers the question/topic.

5. We do this for the entire month of April, then the project ends for those vloggers. (Unless someone wants to continue, then we can recruit more CP vloggers as needed.)

Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions? Anyone want to raise their hand to play?

Remember, you MUST have permission from your parents to post public videos to YouTube. I am going to recommend that we turn off rating and comments to any videos we post on the channel to avoid having to respond to or hear from weirdos.

Comments on the CP blog, however, will be open to all CPers!
