Aye, Kidswift et al are right. Don't (imo, obviously) put a mass call out for collaboration on this or any other board — it's too easy to say 'Yes!' for some, and it's too good an opportunity for even the best-intentioned to fuck it up and show up how flaky they can be.
Better to pay attention to those whose skills or abilities fit in with what you might hope to be part of, then broach the subject directly with them, away from peering eyes.
You've got to be the main driver though — hoomz is lazy.
Best of luck!

the QBN graf wall was fun while it lasted. that really was like realtime creative collab. Just bump that again or start another one.

dude, this place is full of frustrated, angry peeps. they are no good to you. keep your collaboration to one other person - preferably a friend in the industry. too many cooks and all that.

How about just a crowd source it for $1000

I think the books never pan out because people loose interest waiting for them. By the time it gets to you you have moved on to other stuff, and it sits around neglected.
A collab project that would allow everyone to work at once would prob pan out best.

What does this mean?

My posts to date on this thread have been of the negative variety. Allow me to perhaps qualify why this has been and attempt to build rather than destroy.
+ You got a heart kid I will give you that, but this place has tried and failed to collaborate together. Look at earlier posts for examples of these. I'm sure on the odd occasion its worked too. Hell we managed to put on a charity rock gig with peeps from here years ago.
+ My point is that I doubt from your response so far this will morph into something very real, unless you come up with a great idea that you will do regardless (preferably with people you know from the real world) then just use QBN as one of many streams to gather participants.
+ I would try and find something among your mates or network meets a common need or shares an interest. Why does it even have to be a digital piece? Hell go build an orphanage made of sock puppets or paint the grass at your local school purple. You will get faster satisfaction if you try and do something tangible and within your proximity of impact.
The alternative is you will get tired and demotivated bumping this thread till infinity.
Good luck with whatever you decide on.
- its worth a shot, if theres not enough interest i'll be moving on. i do these projects every new year or soifeltdave

What? Is this an interview?

If you're down for participating, link to some recent work and let us know what you can bring to the table to contribute. My guess is we'll have a lot of overlap with people's skills, and one of the major hurdles up front will be figuring out how to involve everyone as efficiently as possible.
Speaking of, if anyone wants to helm some kind of producer or PM role, now's the time to step up.

Okay ya'll, I've got an idea. Sorry for the delay, last week was a rough one to come back to after the holiday.
I'm biased when I suggest this because I'm an animator, but I would love to do a visual essay.. a motion piece with a message. Knife party, but with less of an agenda.
Samples:
http://vimeo.com/channels/visual…We tap the great minds of QBN for this. We need typists and graphic designers, but also some new media folks who can handle After Effects and most likely a little bit of 3D. We need a writer to come up with a script, and we need people to do some research about whatever topic we decide on doing.
Something that popped in my head is a call to action, a PSA that asks people to chill the fuck out. This AZ shooting stuff, the political climate of 'us vs them'.. its fucked. It's broken. And frankly, people need to be shouted at and told to calm the fuck down before we all kill ourselves. A better tomorrow.. lets make one.
What say you, QBN? If we're not down for this, I'm cool with making a short film about the rise an fall of Brett Bash instead.

Is there something we can do to help people through design?
Anyone have an idea yet?
I was thinking maybe a QBN short animation but they may be hard to collaborate. and wouldn't really do anything for anyone.
I am bumping this up because good things will not go to waste.
