Chat transcript

16:12:41 [MissParker] Let's get to the agenda...

16:12:58 [MissParker] Any new ideas for campaign videos?

16:13:04 [MissParker] I had one...

16:14:03 [MissParker] Someone posted the TV.com ranks....and I thought an excerpt from it would be useful in a video to show potential fans that the show has a lot of support, and we just need to all band together...

16:14:42 [MissParker] I think we definitely need to do a "Guide" for video artists with suggestions etc so they have an idea of what kind of vids to make.

16:15:47 [Ruben20] I saw a video that was posted at Fox by MissPJ (this one, right? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQVd33DqeUk ). It had some editing issues and the clips wasn't quite symbolic enough to our cause.

16:16:00 [mattali] I think your TV.com ratings for a video is a good idea, Miss Parker.

16:16:44 [mattali] I haven't watched MissPJ's video, yet. I believe she's new to video production, isn't she?

16:21:56 [mattali] I haven't heard from any of the letters or emails I've sent, Has anyone else?

16:22:25 [MissParker] Ruben, what clips do you think will be more symbolic to our cause. We should tell MissPJ...and I am sure she will do some new ones...

16:22:41 [Ruben20] In addition to that, are there any adresses that there hasn't been sent a letter to?

16:22:58 [mattali] I think Miss Parker's idea of a guide for making videos is a good one. That way all will be on the same page and know what we're aiming for.

16:23:01 [Ruben20] I'll try to come up with some clips

16:23:32 [MissParker] I don't know if there are any specific addresses...we did have a name of someone who worked on tP and is now with TinMan...but didn't have an address...

16:23:38 [MissParker] ok on the clips

16:24:24 [MissParker] Anyone else who can think up clips that should be used in video-making...post at Fox forum...

16:25:08 [MissParker] sometimes the people who make the vids don't necessarily know which are the best to use...that's where we...or you...come in!

16:26:14 [MissParker] I think that's why MissPJ came to chat...to get as many ideas about what we really want in the vids

16:26:14 [mattali] Yes, Ruben, I see what you mean about some editing problems. The clip choices do seem to be somewhat random, but all in all not a bad first effort.

16:26:55 [mattali] I haven't been to YouTube for quite awhile...wow, are there ever lots of new videos there!

16:27:10 [MissParker] yep!

16:27:44 [mattali] Yes, I'm sure that's why MissPJ attended chat last time. If you're not used to thinking the way a producer has to think, it's best to get outside input.

16:27:57 [Ruben20] I agree with you, MissParker. We should come up with ideas and just be glad that there are people bothering to do the videos.

16:28:18 [MissParker] In the guide...we can set out 2 or three types of videos, one type to target newbies...one to target hardcore fanatics, and one for the "average joe"...

16:28:44 [mattali] Good idea.

16:28:48 [MissParker] yep Ruben, and we definitely are grateful there are people still doing vids!

16:31:33 [MissParker] Ok...so perhaps we can move on...I know mattali has to leave on time today...

16:31:37 [MissParker] GGL Sim Updates

16:31:47 [MissParker] No news of Sim 2

16:32:20 [mattali] Hm, it's headed to Portugal, right?

16:32:30 [MissParker] yes it is...

16:32:43 [MissParker] i sent an email to Vania asking about it...

16:33:20 [MissParker] Sim 1: I have one more sig to get to make it 17 total...they are so tiny! I also will scan it before I send it off

16:33:43 [MissParker] I have to call the post office and see how long it will take to get to Australia to decide which Australian I will send it to...

16:34:06 [mattali] Wow! 17...good job, Miss Parker!!!

16:34:36 [mattali] Yeah, that might be helpful. How long will Cate be gone?

16:37:46 [MissParker] Moving on to Fox letters....perhaps we need to try out a few more addresses...I will have to scour the Fox site and see if I find any we have not used yet...

16:39:38 [mattali] I'll send to Fox again if you can locate some addresses. We need an inside connection!

16:40:23 [MissParker] yep we do!

16:40:48 [MissParker] Cate will be back June 2nd

16:41:40 [MissParker] 6-12 working days...so looks like I might as well send to Cate...since she responded first....

16:42:04 [MissParker] Just got off the phone with the post office...in case you were wondering what that was about! lol

16:42:19 [mattali] Yeah, if it takes that long to sail/fly over there, you might as well send it off post-haste!

16:43:03 [MissParker] Ok...I think we should all log our letters sent at Fox...even if we have not had a reply yet...we could always add a note when we do get a reply....

16:43:17 [MissParker] Yes I will mail it out tomorrow...

16:43:19 [mattali] What's next on the agenda?

16:43:42 [MissParker] So....except Ruben and Cheetah, we all have a post to make at Fox....re letters

16:43:53 [MissParker] http://forums.prospero.com/foxpretender/messages?msg=616.1

16:43:58 [MissParker] that's the link to use!

16:44:16 [MissParker] Next is: Other Projects

16:44:26 [MissParker] We have so many...I lumped them all together...

16:44:35 [MissParker] Bulletins....any new ones posted?

16:45:24 [MissParker] May is almost over...so try and get some out before you have to change the date again! And don't forget to post at Fox when you do put one up!

16:46:39 [MissParker] As an aside, I heard of an idea with balloons and was thinking we could do a special promo with balloons on a special anniversary of tP...releasing a whole bunch of balloons with website url for Fox etc and a campaign message...

16:47:23 [MissParker] Email addys...kris have you thought of your title for the @PretenderClosureCampaign email addy?

16:47:28 [mattali] I haven't posted anymore cards. Plan to get on it with my son this weekend, right KID???!?!?!

16:47:56 [MissParker] MissPJ had an idea to use MyspacePretender as hers....or something similar...

16:48:02 [KrisRussel] I think BelgianDivision will be ok for me

16:48:28 [MissParker] Ok mattali, sounds fair enough....I plan to do a lap around campus today...should be able to tag all the notice boards I pass...

16:48:35 [Ruben20] How do you set up the e-mail? By invitation?

16:48:36 [MissParker] ok kris, that's fine

16:48:48 [mattali] Good job!!!

16:49:01 [MissParker] Yes, Melissa is the only one who can send invites for now....so we have to depend on her to send them out

16:49:43 [MissParker] I will try to remind her of the ones that need to be set up...has anyone received any invites?

16:49:53 [mattali] I will have to work on getting my email working @PretenderClosureCampaign. Melissa has sent me a new invite, but I haven't had a chance to read or try it yet.

16:50:07 [MissParker] ok mattali

16:54:40 [mattali] I will post on Fox where we post the cards! Great emoticon, Miss Parker!

16:54:53 [MissParker]

16:55:31 [mattali] Do we have more to discuss.

16:56:05 [MissParker] Yes: Longest thread

16:56:15 [MissParker] we need more posts there...it is languishing!

16:56:27 [MissParker] at Fox forum...we need people to visit and post!

16:56:36 [mattali] I know...I just looked at it but didn't have time to post anything.

16:56:40 [MissParker] lol ok mattali, you can go ahead!

16:57:00 [MissParker] It was just a reminder to everyone anyway
