Hey gang, I have had this idea brewing for awhile and I would like to
discuss it so that with help we can evolve the idea and make it a reality.

This is something that I'm sure has been thought of before, so chime in and
let's make it happen, or at least begin ground work to give the idea direction.

Ever seen the Movie "Trekkies" (I hope I got the name right)

No, but now you have me curious.  Is it similar to the idea you've proposed?

Yes! You gotta see it then. You'll see!!!

Well we deserve a Movie sort of like that!

Here's a slightly different way of doing kind of the same thing.


1)  Have LEGO builders video tape themselves.  They could answer questions
in headshot interviews, do voice overs of shots of their own collections,
constructions, building areas, cities, schools etc.  You would have to
decide where the LEGO part ends and where the personal side of these people
begins.
How much do you want that isn't directly related to LEGO?

Right. Way to go. And as you will see in the movie, you get a little of
both, of course more of the Lego side. Then again, whatever people are
willing to divulge. I would like to see something like this:

Who ever is willing [1](urged) to participate can join a list (for tracking)
be it complied pubicly or in the producing teams docs.
The perhaps either a set of prepared questions could be asked and or for a
particular builder, we could generate threads here where people could ask
questions the we could collect, then ultimatly have the interviewed Lugger
answer the questions people are curious about.

(imagine all the cool and great people around here, each has his or her own
expertise, style, MOCS etc.... so a blanket questionaire may seem dull and
some tailoring to the person being interviewed seems really cool.


2)  Have all these folks send their tapes into one person or persons who
have access to editing equipment.  Possibly someone who works in the media
industry, or just someone with too many expensive toys at home.... besides
their LEGO bricks.  :)

3)  Have that person edit the interviews etc down into a single cohesive
movie.  Ideally you've picked someone with editing abilities.  Not to be
confused with writing or directing abilities... as they are not the same.
But hopefully you find someone who understands story telling and will have
the technical know-how to also do some opening/closing credits etc and maybe
even some music.

My friend Sandy works for a Production Editing Company. They do alot of
buisness from Weddings. If you film it yourself, you can send the raw
footage to them and they produce a videos, music videos of the event. She
tells me about the editing process and how it's like story telling from a
bunch of raw video. So ya, I know what you mean. It also seems to me that
these types of buinesses make some of their income by promoting a style or
showing their editing prowness through their work. Hmmm um, getting lost,
moving on. Bable off. ;)

4)  Have the tape distributed (for costs + shipping) via Bricklink or
LUGNET.  Not rocket science, but you do need to make sure everyone who wants
one can get one.

Right! This way we can all enjoy it.

And there you have it.  Just another way of thinking of the same type of
project.  The benefit to this way is that effectively anyone who wants to
participate can send in a tape.  You aren't limited to the range that a
single person can travel.

Naw, same way, just so wonderfully put. I had raw ideas, you really laid it
out very nicely. This is the sort of thinking that will get a Lug Movie made!

All the best,
Allan B.


Thanks for your input, and if this gets rolling please chime in again!

Eric
