			<content type="html"><![CDATA[[quote=topitmunkeydog]A rather large bump. 

So, I was fiddling around the internet when I stumbled on a website called [url=http://www.givesmehope.com/]"gives me hope."[/url] It's basically a series of user-submitted vignettes of little things that people do for no particular reason besides being nice and helping people out. So, I was like, this could totally be a brickfilm. Everybody chooses a touching story and brickfilms it into a short less than twenty seconds, and then someone edits it together with some [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmXMA34CeoQ]inspirational music[/url].(more: [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kl1Q0ApSAA]link 1[/url], [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9b3_1CcXtY]link 2[/url]) I feel if we did this properly it would be very heartwarming and touching. 
Of course we would have to pick stories that function without a backstory in order to be told in a matter of a few seconds without being unclear, or adapt existing stories. 
here are a few examples: 
[url]http://www.givesmehope.com/view/Amazing+friends/52504[/url]
[url]http://www.givesmehope.com/view/Amazing+friends/57124[/url]
In addition to this, there could be some scenes of people hugging (do I smell an animation challenge or what) or giving each other flowers and just generally nice stuff.

IDK. A LEGO TRIBUTE TO HUMAN COMPASSION AND KINDNESS. Anyone think this is a good idea?

Okay, all the major contests are closed at the moment, so I thought I'd toss this up again. Now that I am back into brick filming, I am truly serious about this idea, so all I need is people willing to participate. I have an example: if you can do something like my Christmas film All You Need, but like thirty seconds shorter, that would be marvelous. I hope you will consider approving my idea, I am completely willing to follow through with this.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[As far as editing goes I think I will be fine. I enjoy editing films but I don't get much of a chance because my brickfilming skills / my friends' acting is not that great, so I would enjoy a sort of challenge. 
What I really need is people who will be able to contribute clips to the montage, but I will not be starting that until the current contest has passed. If the idea is shot down afterwards, I will attempt to seek out people who would like to contribute sort of "under the table," meaning that it would be less of a BiM thing and more of just a brickfilmer collaboration. And if I can't find anyone to do [i] that[/i], I''ll just make the film myself. 

THank you for your support, Backyard Legoes.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Topit, your idea is fine, but I much prefer the "Series of short morals" idea purposed by ANP. (On page #1)
That being said, with all my other projects going on right now I would only be able to contribute a little bit. 

It would be a good idea to do this after BIM:2012. Then you'll have that out of the way, and with BRAWL only taking away a week, and THAC only being the one day, people will not have other deadlines to meet and would be more open to contributing to a community project.

And to tell the truth, it doesn't look like there's much interest at the moment for a community project.]]></content>

The only thing that has changed is the format of videos and design of the actual website. Stop whining about stuff you can simply avoid. 

YouTube isn't going anywhere. Whatever changes that happen will happen gradually, not instantly due to some animated lego videos. Plus, the majority of people would just think that you're some kid with overprotective parents.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I have an idea.

In 2005, the YouTube website was launched by three men: Jawed Karim, Chad Hurley, and Steve Chen. It was a peaceful place, designed for the great pleasure of watching videos that would tickle our fancy. Over seven years later, YouTube has imploded into a booming, incredibly popular video-sharing site with billions of members (hundreds registering each day). 

But, YouTube also shed a dark side, where spammers and advertisers run loose, posting blasphemous garbage on somewhat innocent videos. YouTube has been extremely wishy-washy about their layouts (the Subscribe button used to be on the upper-right corner), which has frustrated many members. Additional video-sharing sites such as Vimeo, etc. were created to guide victims to a place that wouldn't snowball out of control so easily. YouTube is falling apart more and more each day with helpless members being swallowed up because of their inactivity and videos promoting drugs, sex, and many more evils of mankind. 

It is as if the entire Internet will soon crumble like the ancient city of Pompeii.

Some are wondering where are the three brave and creative men, who built what was once a marvelous haven, now and what are their plans to save the future and reputation of YouTube. But, some are wondering this,

"Ask not what the Tube can do for You, but what You can do for the Tube."

It is up to those members (the brickfilmers) to save YouTube once and for all. :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What we do is we create a 15-minute film, starring our sig-figs, where we give "speeches" about how those who grew up on the site are probably feeling, how we feel, and what we can do to help. Sort of like those Above the Influence videos on the Internet.]]></content>
