I just posted a call for all moviemakers here:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SHQ_Spy_Division/message/845
and ask all fans to consider submitting an mp3 where they answer the
question
"Why do you like the Shinsengumi?"
the file can be sent using megaupload or yousendit to my email
secretarytocapt3(at)hotmail.com
and you should include a pen name
I want to compile all these answers into one audio file and mix it
with other multimedia...there is no deadline because I can
continuously add more and more mp3 files together.
All you need is a microphone and a basic soundrecorder (if you can
record as .wav that's fine I can convert it into mp3).
In other words this will be a massive audio tagboard.
One of the issues with the internet for many is it usually lacks
real human contact (traditional concepts of human contact, face to
face, audio or visual)---but ofcourse technology is gradually
changing that. What's clear to me from just the number of visitors
to SHQ is that we have people who want to read and learn about the
group from ALL OVER THE WORLD and it would neat to hear from some
friends we've never met before. So your message can be in any
language (as long as you submit a translation, that way I can put up
a slide in English and we can read it).
I think that anywhere from one sentence to a 5 minute comment is fair
because the goal is to capture the variety of reasons people have for
having an interest in the Shinsengumi.
So I hope to get a couple of responses (^_^)
I know you all are out there...and we well eternally need your help
in making the site better and better. So by contributing your voice
you are encouraging some of our researchers to keep up their work and
keep sharing it with the world.
