I am considering in doing a community/site update video every first day of each month so that people can just watch the video to know what is up with the site and the forums, even if the people are gone for a long period of time.

Some of the things that I would consider putting on this monthly video would be the following:
-Top threads and news in the forums for the month
-Results from last month's contests
-Announcing this month's contests
-new features on the site or RGR
-etc

Some needs that I would consider addressing to make this work are:
-People to list out content to put in the video
-Editor
-Voice for narrating
-Graphic designer to design the intro or graphics

For these needs, if there is no one who can do some of it, I can just do this myself, but it would make things easier I get help from it.

Davideo7 : Would like your input about this, since you also type up the announcements monthly on Vizzed.

I think this is defiantly a good idea. I mean it could catch up people with info about the site who haven't been able to be online as much as some others. One thing you could do for content is maybe pick out a couple of games and have them rated for the month and there be like a 'Favorite game of the month' or something similar to this. Somebody may could play a bit of that game and record it and you can put it in the video. It might draw certain people to trying out that game and rating it. It would also be entertaining for somebody to watch the gameplay, myself included.  Just a thought.

I love this idea. This would expand on Eirinn's console wrap up so much. 

I'd love to volunteer for the narrating position. As long as you have a script, I would take it, I'd be more than willing to do it. 

This sounds like it could be a cool idea. I would be willing to volunteer as the Narrator.

In a pinch I could also do some editing work, although I don't have all the editing software that I did a year years back I could still do it if no one else wanted to, but it would be more basic editing.

Hopefully David can see this so that we can get this working soon and that I can get all the information I need each month for the video.

Davideo7 :

I know this is not entirely related to this thread.. But it seemed the best place to ask/suggest it... Ever consider doing this in a podcast format... 

Where you and 3 other people can just chat for a couple of hours, once a month on the going ons on vizzed, What games you played.. What you're looking forward to playing.. and basically conversing with others...  It's essentially the same thing your doing now except you basically need a few core topics and let the conversation fly.. and it wouldn't require much editing/ planning to do so... 


Just thought i'd throw that out there...

I would have offered to help narrate it.. but you have two keen people already it seems x3

As for editing.. I'll pass my skills aren't really up to snuff at the moment.. 

Just let me know what you think about the podcast idea.. i'd always be game for that.

I'm still all for doing this, and I will be taking everyone's suggestion into consideration, but I can't really do anything until I get the ok and the information from David.

You know what, this is getting wayyy too slow and I'm not getting a response from David, so I'm just going to go along with it. Everyone, please send me a pm or post on this thread on what are somethings you would like to be mentioned on the Vizzed Community update video of October. I will try to see if I can get the monthly announcements from David as soon as possible, and with some of your inputs, I will make the video for October.

Some things that you could suggest are popular or interesting threads that are popping up, different forum games or forum activities that are happening, and maybe a video game spotlight, summary.

Please have your submissions in before September 30th, and I will make the video together.

Maybe you could pick something from my forum "The Red"? Right now it only shows the strangest and coolest news stories so some of them could be pretty interesting.

This sounds like a pretty cool idea, and I could see it definitely helping to get the word out for the site. If you still need someone to help out with any of the stuff that you listed on the top post, feel free to send me a message. I'll be glad to help out.

I like the whole idea of everything! If you need a backup narrator (do those even exist), I have experience and have high quality microphones (Just got 'em!). I'm on the site every day and could definitely contribute if you have a spot open.

Anyways, I like it. I hope it takes off and does well.
