B3ta Collaboration 2009



Ok, I've had a few people comment on this idea, and it looks like it *might* have legs, so thought I'd update with a few more details and suggestions to help get the ball rolling. First of all, please note the date change, now to November 5th, which gives just over 2 months for people to get together and create something to post on the day. I've moved it back now that the idea seems to have legs, and it allows more time for people to hook up and get things underway.

The idea is for b3tans to get together and create something between them to post on any applicable board on Nov. 5th. Whether it be a group Image, Video, Song, Animation, Comic, Game etc etc.
No restrictions and no limits. (other than the standard b3ta FAQ guidelines) You can work with as many (or as few) pairings/groups as you wish.
Hopefully it'll be an opportunity for people to share ideas come up with some great stuff and have a bit of fun.

Example: Happytoast has suggested a 'b3ta quilt' idea whereby interested people can submit an image on a 3" square to be put together at the end to post on the day, and available for printing. See in the replies below for the entire idea.

No rules, no restrictions. Just purely what you all come up with together. Whether you work as a pair, or a group, and whether you work in several groups. It's up to you.

Perhaps you have crazy and funny ideas, but don't know how to bring them to life, or vice versa and you have the talent, but lack a little inspiration. Well maybe someone here can help. Perhaps you love another b3tan's style of work, and you'd like to work with them to produce something in that style. This is an opportunity to do just that :)

No formal way of selecting who you want to work with, but if your name is down here, then consider yourself available for a gaz from someone else here seeing if you're interested in working together.
Or, take the lead and ask someone to combine talents with you.

To perhaps give other people an idea of what you can do, maybe link a few examples of what you consider to be your 'best work' in your replies below.

Finally, for those a little bit shy to approach someone else to work with, I'll also suggest a Random Group/Pairing option which will literally be picking names out of a hat and matching them together in either pairs or small groups, and then you can take pot luck and see where you go with it. If you're interested in being put down for this option, please edit (or put in) your subject line 'RANDOM' so I can then jot down the names of those interested in doing this as well. I'll suggest a cut off date for this option on Thursday 17th September, and I'll draw and let people know on the Friday.

Any questions or suggestions to streamline this, just reply to this thread, and if it's possible, it'll be taken on board. Cheers.

For anyone struggling for an idea, the date may give you a start on somewhere to go with it. (Bonfire Night)


Ok, now get Gazzing :)

I would love to be a part of this.

Perhaps us "untalented lot" could band together to contribute something interesting. :)

Only modestly capable with photoshop CS3 and basic animation in Imageready as far as computer based skills go.
However, keen to bring ideas out, and have a few ideas for stuff involving video editing, sound editing, mashing them all together
Keen on a bit of wordplay, and I like re-writing song lyrics if that helps anyone.

Find discussion a good way of coming up with jokes on a subject.
Winning smile.

I'm worried about signing up

as I know I could lose a lot of valuable time getting carried away here.

Err, I can draw people with short legs, a bit of 3d, 2d, animation, video, stop motion, whatever really.

I'd like to do small things rather than a massive time eater, but then again, if someone suggests something utterly awesome then I may not be able to resist.

Given the choice I'd probably like to take some sound clips (no more than 10 seconds) and animate those. Any kind of audio will do, music or effects. Feel free to Gaz me if you're up for this and send mp3s along with suggestions for animating - which I may well ignore and draw a flapping willy instead.

That'll be me signed up. then

I actually have no discernable talent when it comes to photoshop, and even less when it comes to animations.

However, I am very good at making pictures from shapes. I don't entirely suck at jokes and poems etc. I also have a very posh voice which could be useful in voiceovers and stuff. And I can act.

I also like animals and am licenced to work with children.

But with a fair bit of free time for a while, so I thought I'd like to join in if anyone will have me.

I have a little bit (But I like to think: improving) knowledge of Photoshop and Flash. I once opened After Effects too but I got scared and closed it again immediately.

If there's a group of "We're shit, lets see what we can cobble together" then I guess I'd most likely belong with them.

As an idea on the organisation front

Rather than having people just gazing people they want to work with, to save HappyToast and other such talented people, you could allocate people into small teams randomly after a period of entry is finished. That way, no one who wants to join in gets left out as well.

Then the teams get to brainstorm and create something and submit it on some sort of deadline day where all the teams storm the board with their epic creations.


(, Fri 10 Jul 2009, 12:52, Reply)
Yep, this sounds like a lot of fun :D

I can draw pictures of things with pens and pencils but I can't colour or animate or vector or do noises or anything like that.
Also I like working with source photos of people/buildings/vehicles etc., so it might be nice to team up with a photographer.

Oh go on then.

I set tenuous and unfunny wordplay to pictures and draw lasses. I can also a knock up a few bits of Flash if you're after it. My coding is fairly rubbish but I tend to get by via making it look nice. What a fucking charlatan.

QUILT!

In case the collab is fizzling a bit, I was wondering about a backup plan of people submitting a picture roughly 3" square to be part of a B3ta quilt. All it needs is one brave soul to receive the images and carefully stick them together, which I suppose I should take the role of seeing as I'm suggesting it.

I think 3" of anything at all that people want to be remembered for. PNG format on a transparent background if they want overhang (no more than 0.5" in any direction) at 300 DPi so it can be super shiny and printable. Then once its stuck together we can chuck it up as a free download on Lulu or any B3tan who runs a print service can take orders.

Template here www.b3tards.com/u/037e58b9e054b3c8dd7b/b3taquilt_template.png
Illustration of how it works heres1.b3ta.com/host/creative/46786/1251116941/B3taQuilt.png

If you're taking part just gaz me your picture and I'll do the rest, hopefully the final quilt will be more than 6 inches square :)

Include your username inside the 3" so we can remember who did what.

If you want to send a few options that would be good as it will make the quilt bigger and help avoid anyone being dropped completely to make the final Poster shape.

Probably should have a closing date to give me a chance to stick them all together, er, the Saturday before shoudl do, 26th Sept
