Yep... I also saw the 'Saturday Live' review and liked it - Comedy Police has really been a fantastic addition to the site, and it's nice to see so many trying their hand at a bit of journalism...
I also definitely think we should try to get cracking on this online sitcom idea - people would definitely be interested in that, as a means to see their work being produced... In an episodic manner, once a week or whatever... The problem there of course, is having the production mechanisms and the acting talent in place - do you have access to all that?... OR we may have to figure out a way in can be done remotely, with whoever wants to be invovled with the shooting recording their parts separately to be stitched together later - as Junk Males and Loopey did with their 'Dave's Kitchen' piece, which worked really well...
It would be good to get some wheels in motion on SOMETHING for the new year... I'm very excited...
right guys we can do this (thanks for the positive feedback on my review as well, i've been sent some more stuff in the post too so i'm going to do a few more, it's good fun.)i definitely agree, out of all the ideas the online sitcom has to be number one. in all honesty i don't have the technical equipment but someone must have? my idea initially foocussed more around a whole magazine so i've not prepared for filming. so....2008 was the year where we all became massively successful...who's with me!?!
Anyway..would recommend you look into a web system called Joomla. Dead easy to set up, and would allow registered members to post easily. Also has facilities for rating articles and categorising.
P.S. Liked your review too, thought Bon Jovi was the singulalry worst choice of musical guest since Marilyn Manson on Songs of Praise.
so....2008 was the year where we all became massively successful...who's with me!?!
Hell yes ! I will be here at the strike of midnight 2007/2008 wearing a grey shiny suit with a white t-shirt underneath. My sleeves shall be rolled halfway up my fore arms and I shall be singing John farnham's "The Voice"...hopefully you can all join me one by one linking hands as you arrive and we shall sing through our tears of hope !! I'm getting emotional already thinking about it. Naked group hug !! XXXX (that's what I've been drinking)
You're the voice try and understand it !, make a post and make it clear! (without saying anything rude or vaguley controversial obviously)
Damn it I'm getting the suit on now !
(would add an emoticon thing here but there doesn't seem to be one to accurately reflect the unbridled joy and enthusiam associated with mid-eighties power ballads sung through waterfalls of tears as we all join hands walking up the mountain of hope...oh no there it is )
Well I don't mind admitting I bought the 3 disc box set of Power Ballads that came out about a year ago... You can't go wrong with a bit of Bonnie Tyler/Meat Loaf/Whitesnake/Scorpions in the car - or anywhere else for that matter...
thanks for the joomla idea, i'll look into it and see what i can do. i think if we all work together we can come up with something pretty good. i'll work on sorting things out in time for the new year. fay has also suggested that 4laughs might be able to help somehow? happy xmas etc
Absolutely... I'm sure they could definitely promote and link to whatever we all end up producing - whether it's an online magazine or a visual extravaganza of some kind... It'd be really nice to get a colloborative effort going again with us all involved - like a new 'Comedy Collective'...
I'm looking forward to it... The key thing as always is having the right ideas to work on that have the potential to run and run... It'd probably be a good idea to get some 2-3 page proposals/treatments together for an online sitcom (if we're doing that), whenever we're ready, and then let Ric look it over and see if it's a goer, and give us his feedback for improvements... That would really help us no end to get off on a firm footing...
Something to think about over the Christmas break, definitely...
