Life is Strange (episode 1 only) video game, and like 5 minutes on Victor Frankenstein the ridiculous 2015 movie.

[blademistress.livejournal.com]

I've thought about it and I also want to pimp Unreal as a general show pimp.

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

You said 5mins on Frankenstein (do you want 10?) but how long for the Life is Strange and Unreal? 20? 30?

[blademistress.livejournal.com]

10 for Frankenstein sounds good. Life is Strange is about 20 and I think Unreal will probably be 30.

I would also like to pimp the Bloomsbury/Cambridge Apostles. Maybe a fifteen minute slot? I'll take as much time for Versailles as you can give me!

(You should cross post this to Twitter - I only saw it because I came here looking. 💕)

Hi there - putting my toe in the water for this!

I don't have a clear idea about what's been done in the past, but there are a few things I've thought up, so if any of them appeal, let me know.

A session about podfic, podcasts and audiobooks - I'm a podficcer myself, but it'd be a bit wider than that. I'd include audio-excerpts to demo samples, and show links to podcasts, etc. Both to pimp the audio side of fandom, and a little bit on past controversies and current resources.

A sampler of Fanart recs - I'm a regular multifandom reccer at this DW site and I can put together an art show of stuff that I and others have reccd. It'd need a reasonable datashow projector though, I think, to see the art, so I'm not sure if that'd work. Would be happy to take requests to include art from particular fandoms in the lead-up to GT! :)

Pimping Bironic as a vidder and writer. Bironic's probably well known to people, but just in case. It'd mostly be vids, some multifandom, some SGA and a few others, so you might not want another vid-heavy session? Also I'd need guidance on the tech side of how people put these shows together. Embedding downloaded vids in a ppt? (I assume we wouldn't have streaming available direct from the net.)

Also, a suggestion/request. If anyone has the faintest idea about how Imzy is supposed to work, could they talk about it? *has no clue, is still semi-baffled by tumblr*

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

This is a brilliant sampler platter. Huzzah! Year two, where lurkers take life. ;-p

I'm probably gonna say hold fire on another vidshow, yeah, though we should be able to timetable in some recs and discussion at the end of one of the others. I love your audio idea, and the art show sounds good too. I think our projection technology is pretty solid, the only trouble is occasionally Wellington comes through with full sunshine and that can cause some glare issues. I was already thinking about Imzy, so I think I can see you right there, too. *\o/*

OK, cool!

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

Hey there, just checking this is still good to go? And how long would you like for each one?

[mific.livejournal.com]

Yes, good to go, although of course I haven't pulled either together yet!
Um, not sure about the length - what's usual? I can fit in. Probabaly less time for the art show one, although I'll cover different types of art and one or two downloaded vids I hope, of works being done. For the audio one I'll have recorded samples from podfics rather than playing a whole thing, unless it's very short. Plus links and I guess screenshots of sites/resources, etc. for podfic, audiobooks, podcasts (although the latter aren't my main forte).
Re tech stuff, they'll be ppts and I will embed vid, image and audio files in the ppt. Then will bring both ppts on a flashdrive. That sound OK?

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

Sounds fantastic. Half an hour each? Or 20 and 30? Up to you, but that'd be about standard. We've got time, especially if it's varied subject matter, so you tell me.

[mific.livejournal.com]

Lets say 20 and 30. :)

[sixth-light.livejournal.com]

I could do RoL, or is everyone attending already likely to be clued into it? (Alternatively: GBBO)

[mab-browne.livejournal.com]

If you need to fill empty lunch time spots, The Sentinel actually has real DVDs now. Otherwise I ain't got nuthin', sorry.

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

All good. I actually just finished the timetable. :D Bring 'em tho, if you want, and a lunchtime it may be.

Do you want me to bring my portable drive? Most laptops these days don't have them.
