Unless we're going to do a 10 minute video of one of us writing a script?
Okay. So I rethought about this and it could work.
We have movie reviews where one, of three of us could post reviews of a movie. It's already there on youtube with other people doing it - so we can do it differently.
If one of us could Direct (I would certainly do it if I had enough money and support), we could turn some of our unproduced scripts into a trailer like a little tease.
As stated above, post actual shorts created from SS scripts up as well.
We can do "howto" series as well, where one of a couple of us could post howto's, like, how to do a script - post up problems and how to fix them.
If you really think about it, it could work so well.

I looked into the longer than 10 minutes, and I might actually be able to do it. My account is from 2006, and I set it up as a director account. According to their rules, those who already had the ability to upload videos longer than 10 minutes retain the ability to do so. While I never used the ability, I technically had it. I'll find something and try it later. Actually, I could probably just take one of the podcasts, dump it into Moviemaker, make a wmv and see if it takes it.
Alternatively, you can do it if you're a partner. However, becoming a partner requires you have achieved a ton of views consistently on the videos you upload and owning all of the content. That would mean if a partnership is required to get the longer vids, we'd have to start with the shorter ones to get the views and then apply for the partnership.
Yeah, of course it's complicated. To make that more interesting, we would not technically own the rights to the films based on the simplyscripters scripts, so we wouldn't qualify for the partnership on that count alone.
We could upload the podcast, at the very least. Not sure what else would qualify.
The how-to is a good idea, though. Those could definitely be less than 10 minutes.
Jayrex, I don't really think George Michael would be a good Moderator.
He'd have faith, no careless whispering going on, and hopefully wake us up before he go goes, as no one wants to hang on like a yo yo...Could use a father figure, I suppose.

1. You tube videos are 10 minutes or less - Simply Radio is 30 to 35 minutes each episode. That means someone has to cut each of these episodes in to 3 or 4 sections that don't end in mid-sentence.
2. Someone would have to take the cuts segments, add relevant images, and convert the whole thing to video.
3. Someone has to upload the video to You Tube.
That's 4-5 hours of work right there and someone will have to do that every couple of weeks without fail, no being sick, no not doing it because you're bored of doing it.
Is anyone out there ready for that kind of commitment? I don't have the time, do you? Do you have the equipment and software that is needed?
On the other hand, I've invested a bunch of time getting CGTV to have at least some audience and insuring that it will continue to grow. There are plans for other shows like The Dark or The Avant-Video-Guarde show (Oops! that's supposed to be a secret). You are welcome to utilise my audience, if you have a video you think is appropriate then let me know.
Which is exactly what I was thinking. A lot! And I mean a lot of work!!! If I were good on the technical side of things, I would help, but I will continue to work in the areas I'm best suited. If someone needs voice over work, I would be happy to help with that. I will stay clear of fumbling around as a blind person in a dark room.
For people that love that kind of thing, well!!! Here's your chance!
I was toying with the idea of getting a camcorder this summer and try and shoot something. If it was possible, I'd turn one of the shorts into a trailer?
But then again, I'm busy. But if I could help, I will.
