QC Adventure Theatre! (Forum Radio Play!)
Jimor:
Thanks, Paul, I just downloaded it, and I'll take a look, but I think unless anybody objects/finds better, this will be it.
You make excellent points about the workflow. The big advantage of a common platform is with all the source files in storage, once they're downloaded by somebody, all that needs to get passed around are the project files. But I agree, defining sub-editing roles well so that the pieces can be put together later is much better than actually sharing the detail work. But at least now, if somebody gets busy after half finishing, we're not stuck trying to translate all their work from their proprietary software, they can upload the project file and the next person can continue.
Breaking it down by scenes sounds best, both to break up the work load, and to give as many people who want some experience some exposure to the process.
I was looking at options for storage, and one non-obvious one was listed in an article. G-mail. Just send attachments (up to 25M, which is a 2:30 full .wav file, a size none of the individual clips should ever hit). One advantage is that we can annotate the file in the actual e-mail. Anybody with the password can get in to download (or upload as a mail from that account to itself).
Otherwise, we could try your server. But overall, I'm liking the g-mail idea (or something similar) because of neutrality, annotations, and ease of use of just folks sending an e-mail to send their files.
Edit: Paul has the server up and running, and I think that a combination of that and G-mail will work just fine. So it looks like all the project technical aspects are taken care of. Now for the story, so keep throwing ideas at the wall, even if they're completely different than what's already been discussed!
Liz:
I did theater and speech back in high school so I've definitely got the voice to add in. Plus I am not afraid to attempt silly foreign accents if need be.
I could possibly also go for some sound effects, there are plenty of things around this house that I could bang together and such to make good sounds.
Jimor:
Very good, Liz!

I'm hellaciously busy this week, including being out of town Wed-Fri, so I won't have much time for this until this coming Sunday at the soonest.
Feel free to talk story ideas and see what everybody can come up with, whether it matches anything talked about before or not. Heck, if you have a script in place when I get back, all the better!
JD:
You should base your story off of one of these
Carl-E:
Ooo! Oooo!
I've done a fair bit of acting, and can do a wide variety of voices and accents (including speaking "fluent shorthand" as a friend put it when I did an improv bit as someone from an undisclosed eastern block country...). I also can do a fair number of vocalised sound effects.
I'm afraid my editing/production experience dates back to 1978 - 82, and involves reel-to-reel machines, scotch tape and razor blades. I still have a good ear if it'll help.
Pirates, eh? They spot a merchant ship that seems to be adrift and abandoned. They board it, and start taking the cargo, which includes several long, heavy boxes. When opened, they seem to contain only dirt...
Yes, you got it - pirates and vampires! Think Nosferatu. Or Bela Lugosi. Or Peter Lorre... (yeah, he never played a vampire, but I love to do his voice).
Just no sparkles, m'kay?
