The Dark Knight Plans for a thank you to 42e

[Yoda Claus]

ATTENTION 42 ENTERTAINMENT NINJAS...
Please do not troll this thread...unless you like spoiling your Christmas presents

Hi guys, a few of us were discussing the possibility of submitting a "mass thank you" video message to 42 Entertainment for all the fun they have given us over the last...13-14 months? I don't know how long...
If everyone who is interested just video tapes themselves saying "thank you" or "thanks" and it gets edited together, I think it would be awesome to give to them. Who's in?
Of course, add any suggestions or addendums to the thread.

* We have one video that is a specific length(length and content of the video to be decided) and at the end we can have a credit type thing for people who couldn't make a video but want to be in the video to give thanks. This video will kind of act like a splash screen entrance to the site (?) The site will contain every possible way that you guys want to thank them, be it artwork, YouTube, pictures, whatever.

* People donate to purchase a domain and we create a website where people can post personal thank you videos in a designated area. Or they can post videos pertaining to the Viral Campaign.

Any other ideas, PM me if you think I missed something really big.

We need to get roles set in place, what do we need to make this happen?

Art, coding, design, etc. Let me know what we need so we can recruit and find volunteers
(Mods, how do I change the title info to say details in first post?)

Creative Director: arturo
Video Editor:
Coding:
Writer:

what else?

 

[Dark Jaguar]

Definitely down to say thanks!
And the more we can get, the better!

and not only to 42. WB & DC took a chance liscensing out their product for this kind of marketing.
We want them to want to do it again, right?

I have a fairly good editing program that could handle this if need be, I think this would be an awesome idea and could possibly spark interest from warner brothers to continue the viral marketing for movie number 3.

 

[Dark Jaguar]

Gonna be a lot of clips.

 

[StillTheKing]

I think if this goes down well, It would be fantastic. Im in.

 

[jdlynch1]

Thats ok. I have Pro Dirctor 7, it just might be easier for me if people send them to me in an email so that way I can download them one at a time to save space on my computer. I would have no problem doing it, But I won't be able to get started until at least next monday because I am in Maryland visiting relatives and will be flying back to Florida this Sunday.

 

[Dark Jaguar]

what about those of us with YouTube? Would it be easier to put it up there for you to grab when you need it?

 

[jdlynch1]

I don't have a program that can take the videos from youtube. My email is [email protected] Try to keep the videos to something short like "Thank You (WB, 42e, DC)" and then maybe like a sentence after that stating why this has made the movie better, so on and so forth.

 

[The Jester]

i think posting it on youtube would be a hassle..
i think its best to make a file of your appreciation and email it to the person who's willing to compile.

are there any other besides jdlynch?

I would volunteer as well, but i just would hate 42 not getting it for some reason because of me =(

 

[MrStench]

That's an excellent idea but a video might be too much. After a while it might get boring or even too long. A bunch of people saying "Thanks." "Thank you." "Good job" you know what I mean? It's gonna be ALOT of people...

any other suggestions? Just my opinion btw.

 

[Dark Jaguar]

I'm not yet sure the editing capabilities of this computer.
But I'll know by the end of tomorrow... if I can I'll want to help.

 

[jdlynch1]

Yeah I think we should have at least 2 people doing this so we could compare and at least make sure that at least one gets there. I can take sound clips as well.

 

[MonkeysInACan]

I'm in! I vote sending them via email. because some people wont be able to open the public .mac folder or wont be able to figure it out.

 

[BirdsDoThus]

We should probably wait till the games are officially over though. Now that it is only a matter of days, things could pick up at any moment. It might be getting crazy around here.


But I am so in. I was thinking about sending them a letter too.

 

[Parkdaledude]

I swear on my life that just last night I was telling my girlfriend that I should start a thread to thank 42E sort of like an online greeting card that everyone could post their thank yous to, but your idea is a little classier. I'm in once I figure out how to send videos. I'll try to film footage of others when I go to the movie on the 18th. (12:01am Imax, Scotiabank Theater, Toronto, anyone else on here going to be there?)

If we made it properly, a 2-3 minute video wouldn't be such a bad idea. maybe include people's stuff from the virals? Pictures, videos, events footage, etc?

OH! OH! we could send 42 on a viral hunt?? Send them an email with a website, that they have to break down the source, will take them to a page with the "Thank You"?
One guy in a cubicle: "Wtf?"
*click, click... clatter.. click*
"Uh... Boss?" Yeah? "They're saying 'Thanks'"...

 

[Yoda Claus]

My machine can definitely handle it. I can get filesharing up as early as tonight. It might be best to divvy up editing on something like this. I say 3-4 master editors. jdlynch, me, who else?

 

[StillTheKing]

Maybe we say thank you in a creative way. I think everyone on these boards are creative and could think of something cool. It would be less boring if we all do something fun and interesting.

I already have an idea

K. send me files. [email protected]. Keep them short, compress if you can. any format but divx and xvid is good.

I was just thinking it would be cool to have a mass thank you. Simple, yet elegant. Feel free to discuss other potential ideas.

What is your idea?

 

[Parkdaledude]

We should set up our own viral site and try to lead them to it via "thank you clues"

thats cool, but they are tremendously busy folks. i dont know if they would complete the task.

 

[AgentGraves!]

Uh, I would be in for it...


But the only question on my mind is, uh, wouldn't it be something like an 39 minuet maybe even an hour long, Thanks sorta thing?? I mean thats a lot of thanks and stuff...so

perhaps we should find a way to make it interesting...


maybe, do it like the Joker would do it and give 42E a taste of their medicen yeah?

 

[Surgemyster]

My two cents-

It would be cool if someone can record large groups of people at the CFB rally and hopefully other meets saying something like "Thank you 42E, WB and DC Comics for all you've given us!!!" from an overview shot.

The video could be edited using videos from single and small groups saying the "thank you's" in a really fast sequence and end it with large groups shouting the aforementioned.
That way the video turns out like this: "Thank you, thank you, Thanks, Thank you (really fast) and ends with large group saying "42E, WB and DC Comics for all you've given us!!!"

...just a thought.

 

[Parkdaledude]

Just getting the ball rolling...
