Storyline Concepts! Finally! [edit]
Finally, friends, the first step in the actual film project creation. [though don't forget to check the new logo ideas out at picasaweb.google.com/villagefilm. there are some mighty good ones.]
I realized (again) that the Blogger format just isn't set up the way we need it to be for voting/submitting ideas for scripts. Google Groups, however, is. So I set a group just for us, invited most everybody, and moved the script ideas over there. I'm calling the Village Forum. Check it out.
You can read through them at your own pace and in a format that makes sense. You may then respond/comment/criticize/make suggestions to any of the posts currently available. You may start a new topic with your own synopsis of another script idea (or send it to villagefilm@gmail.com if you want it to be posted anonymously). And, best of all, you can vote on EACH film idea using the 1-5 star rating system built in to Google Group's posting structure.
I intentionally left out the names of the creators of these stories (except one), so that you may vote for your own without fear. I wrote each of the synopses to promote continuity between the descriptions of each.
Got another storyline idea? Post it at the Village Forum or send it to us at villagefilm@gmail.com.

NEWS
• i've been sick. but i'm better now, thank you.
• www.villagefilm.com is taken. : ( its a group called "village srl". they produce some movies, but not the way we do. oh well. our website will continue to be http://villagefilm.googlepages.com, and we are considering registering www.villagefilm.org, since that strikes at the more non-commercial, community aspect of this project anyway.
• storylines are FINALLY up at the villagefilm.blogspot.com. there are four as of right now, but i'm hoping for a couple others soon. you may vote for ONE storyline idea.
• the logo ideas have continued to grow. i think there are about 15 separate ideas up right now on the picasaweb album. check 'em out!

Logo Relocation
I can't tell you how thrilled I am to see all this input so early on. You guys are coming up with some fascinating ideas, and I can't wait to finalize the concept.
But it's getting really hard to scroll all the way down to remind myself what has been posted, not to mention to see what other people are saying about it. so i've officially relocated the logo ideas to this picasaweb album.
hopefully the format will allow for more interaction and an easier time "flipping through" the ideas.
please, vote for your favorites. but don't vote for more than two. yes, i want to make it hard on you. also, if you have suggestions about specific ideas, comment on the relevant picture.
by the way, you'll have to sign in to your Google account to leave a comment. the sign-in link will be in the upper right corner.
next up: story ideas. my story people keep backing out of meetings, but i promise i'll get some ideas up here very soon, and then just add to them when i pin these people down.
have at it!
