Okay, so I've been thinking of ways to get cosplayers pf all over to play in an activity through videos on YouTube and get us more members.

One of my first ideas was dealing with love letters. It would be treated like a tag in a way. A cosplayer would be in character and would read off a love letter that is for a character (another cosplayer).

Ex. Portgas D Ace (KnightUtena) reads a love letter about his love for Misa Misa (HanaOkashii).

That cosplayer that is receiving the love letter or being mention to would be tagged and would have to do video of them reading a love letter of another character their character they are playing as would like and the process would continue to the next cosplayer to the next.


The other idea was dealing with lipsyncing. I thought of having a cosplayer(s) lipsync to a certain part of a song and then another cosplayer(s) would lipsync another part of that same song but the problem is that no viewer would want to go to one video to the next and wait for one video to load and do the same thing for another. It wouldn't have the same effect with that gap.

So I am asking all members if there is another way to do this lipsyncing idea without that gap. Lipsync the whole song? What do you guys think?

i really like the love letter idea sounds really interesting
I think we should lipsync the whole song then have someone recieve them all and they can edit the same songs together to make one with all of the cosplayers together

For the lipsync, I would have to allow members to put their videos on a server by using software like Fugu. I don't know if anybody wants to do that.

I've come up with another one dealing with still photos telling a short story in a comic strip or animate .gif form.

except for more photos.

Okay then, what should we do first then?
Love letter videos
or
Photo comic strip?
PostPosted: Thu Apr 22, 2010 1:21 pm


well maybe we should start on both because with the love letter we are going to have to know who is going to be what character and who they are going to write to then we have to come up with what we are going to say in the love letter. Besides there are a lot of more things we can do with the love letters, like responses of what would happen if the character finds the love letter that was written to them or if another character finds someone else's love letter.
and then on the side we could do the comic strip idea and do them like a couple a month or something

by the way are you going to open a thread just for each of the projects/activities?

Doing both would be too much to handle. Other members won't be able to do both at the same time.

Love Letter - Okay but mind you this isn't just for members of IYP. This is for ALL cosplayers, meaning ones outside our group. If we were going to do anything further like your suggestions of a character finding a letter - that would have to be just inside the group since we be able to talk to one another and make things go a bit faster being in a group.

Again, I want the love letters to: reach out to other cosplayers that are outside our group because it will get other cosplayers attention and hopefully get us new members.

Comic strip - That would have to be later instead of happening at the same time as the Love Letter activity. Also I don't know what by a "couple of months." If we are going to start this off, we'll have to start it short and simple - we are just getting the hang of this idea.
We can do more later but they can't be too complicated in less you have the time.

If you are asking if I'm going to start a topic for these events/activities, I'll probably will. Maybe once we get more people in and more of these IYP group activities, I'll have a section like the ones above this forum so we'll just have a place to chat about these activities.

I will try to do the love letter this week while my Mom is sleep, she works during the night.

Gomensai guys! I have yet to do the love letter thing. HOWEVER! You guys are welcome to try it out before me! You don't have to wait on me to try this cosplay idea. ^^ If you loooove a certain character, why not write a love letter to that character (who would be another cosplayer as that character, better with someone you know)?

I really need to consider that...*clears throat* "Roses are red, violets are blue..."

I don't know if I should mention this in this thread
but a friend on gaia who wants to join was asking if there was a hazing ritual
which sounded really fun to me lol
so I was wondering if we should come up with something that the new members have to do and maybe even for the existing members too?

No, sorry but I am totally against hazing in any way. To me, real life hazing is dumb and can be dangerous.

Plus I doubt it would bring any members and have them stay. I wouldn't want to but I wouldn't want to deal with it.

Well I wasn't really thinking anything hardcore or anything I was thinking more along the lines like maybe them doing a skit or drawing having to do with the theme of hazing so it'd be more like an introduction to the group
kinda like a first project of when your in a new class

No, I really don't want the first comers to do any first projects. It's hard enough to get people to fill out our application. Thanks for suggesting but my answer is no.
