See, my impression was that this would all be one coordinated project, regardless of exactly how it's organized. Presenters can certainly work on the scripts and research, there need not be strict division of duties.

I agree with macecurb. To keep our ideas coherent and of consistent quality, having everyone working together to create a video seems like the best way. I do like the idea of having things as open as possible as well, though. Perhaps we could incorporate it by making it possible for the community to submit ideas or scripts for us to use (with some modification, of course). Of course, that would be something to figure out later - right now we should be focusing on matters that pertain to the first episode we want to create.

I see your point now. I think we should organise this such that we enable three modes of working- ideal(what's the best thing to do), standard (what we're doing now) and independent(anyone who uses the stuff we make, like scripts, idea dumps, etc to make their own stuff). But I think that's a discussion for later, first we need to make a good first video!

So I think we have the idea for presentation as follows: Auditions! We can create recordings on sound cloud and the most votes wins. Same for the animations, it could be static images like cgpgrey or overly sarcastic productions, or any more innovative techniques (https://youtu.be/t6q5_7fVjEg). We can also audition videos can't we? There could be a person or two willing to do so.
Advertisement for the audition and the voting can be both be done on the subreddit I believe.
Before we do that, we need a part of the script ready to be used for audition.

The modes of production thing is not a bad idea, but, as you say, for now I think it's best if we focus on getting everything together to produce an episode.
The first episode is going to be the hardest by far, so it's important that we figure out how to make it work in the first place before we start making the process better.
All that said, I think auditions are probably going to be fairly straightforward for voice-over. The script doesn't even really need to be finished for that, we just need a decent 1-2 minute sample of them speaking.

Advertisement for the audition and the voting can be both be done on the subreddit I believe I would also recommend sharing voice audition voting with the Facebook page and IRC channel if at all possible. Reddit isn't the only community that discusses Idea Channel. Going back to the original topic, I'll volunteer as a script writer/discuss-er. I should have some time either today or tomorrow to re-read the Zelda script in more detail and give any critiques.

Oh yeh I actually never said anything about what role I'm going to be doing... So officially I've been assigned Channel Manager, so that's sort of why I'm doing all the community management preparation (making social media accounts). On that note, please mention your audition ideas in the media presence topic so people don't have to keep jumping from topic to topic to get all the information on a single topic.

So that password for the admin account is quite handy when you want to do stuff... So I made groups that cover basically all the roles that we need and have discussed here. You can be added to more than one, but only the admin account can add you (atm). If you've already posted what you are, I've probably already added you to the appropriate role while I was logged in as admin. If I missed you or you want a different/new role, please post it here.

Oh I don't know what role fits this- I would be best useful in doing research and sharing my findings, and contributing to general discussions like these. I would be willing to help organise stuff wherever possible, e.g. reading video comments and classifying them so that we can reply to the most possible number of interesting points.. I mean that's just one idea. So how about 'helper'? Is there any role like that?

Research and the like would probably go under writing.
Social media/audience interaction stuff like that probably deserves its own role. I'll add in a fourth.
I think it's important to think of the proposed roles as "things you can do" rather than "things you will be doing". Very possible to hold more than one for the time being, since we can always reorganize later.

Alright then could you please mark me as Writer then? Also, I feel a bit of obligations (self imposed or otherwise) are necessary, like maybe having a thread to assign roles, duties and deadlines for a given episode. And ofc there aren't any consequences if you fail, someone else will always pitch in, but agreeing to some obligations (i find) helps motivate actions
