Just a quick reminder to everyone, we have a Discord chat! I'd like to, at some point over the next week or so, get as many of us in there as possible so we can have something approaching a formal meeting. It'd be nice to get everyone on the same page and have everyone formally introduce themselves. |

For the sake of getting everyone on the same page, we'll be having an informal meeting this Saturday, September 16 at 6 PM UTC on the Discord.
We'll be exchanging contact details, working out exactly who does what, and otherwise generally bringing everyone up to speed on what's been going on with the first episode.
ATTENDANCE IS HIGHLY ENCOURAGED.

Meeting summary:1: Financial disclaimer.Just to make absolutely sure that there's no confusion on the issue of money: Idea Project is currently volunteer-run. At the moment, it is not a commercial project, and I don't want anyone to assume this is going to lead to a job. For this reason, we currently cannot and will not guarantee any financial compensation for anyone's contributions. That's not to say that our youtube videos will never be monetized, nor does it mean that we know for sure that nobody will ever be paid.
2: State of the script and episode.- Parker (pfbourassa) is the showrunner/producer for the first episode. Largely, he will have the final say over changes to the script, and is in charge of keeping everyone coordinated and moving forwards towards our first episode.
We'll be selecting a host in about a week and a half. We should theoretically have the Zelda script done by then. - Several proposals for final episode video component:
- Host records video and audio, we add gifs in the corner. Basically just exactly the same style as Idea Channel.
- CGPGrey-style stick figures and simple animation.
- Extra Credits-style simple drawn host in a few poses, plus gifs and other filler.
3: Other things to note.- The name of this whole endeavour is, despite previous assurances, somewhat in flux. It turns out there already is a youtube channel called “Idea Project”. We've got a couple other channel names parked, including:
- Idea Havers
- Idea Channel 2
- We've reached out to the subreddit mods and Mike Rugnetta about a few things, mostly letting them know what we're doing and a few other minor things like the channel name.
- Parker will be putting together a to-do list with specific things that need to be done for the first episode, to make it easier for people to contribute.
- At some point in the near future we're going to start putting together weekly recap posts/mass-mails for the forums. This will help keep people up to date on recent goings-on and keep people engaged.
4: Things that need to be done.
- Someone has to go on the facebook group and make a post about this project. I'll be making a post on the IRC at some point soon.
- If you intend to do any writing or research, please reach out to Parker/Pfbourassa.
