Something to relate to the team for now...a big announcement/proposal really.
Someone recently suggested to me via PM that we create a sort of sub-team. This would consist of the folks most heavily involved in special effects. The hope is that we could set up a chat function for this sub-team specifically wherein they could discuss concepts more fluidly and not have to take up actual forum here discussing the more technical aspects of making our edit. There would be a level of privacy for them in order to avoid extraneous ideas. In other words, the idea folks could suggest ideas here (that includes me) while the actual movie-makers discuss the how-to there. My big worry is that if we incorporate this element, some team members will feel left out. The best way to handle this would probably be to have me (since I have thus far been the coordinator and recruiter of this project) sort of act as a liaison between the two groups to make sure everyone here is up to speed. Of course the other guys would share what they are making, post vids and stills and ideas and such. They would still take our feedback. But I would in a sense bring announcements on progress to you and bring your ideas to them if they are being negligent of the forum here. Also, if there are grievances that the idea/story folks are feeling left in the dark, I would bring such complaints to their attention and request updates. This is the best compromise I can think of and it hopefully wouldn't be too time-consuming for me. The hope is to create greater efficiency among those making everyone's dream become a reality.
