I'm here, though not sure I'll get much more done tonight. Will try to swing through some Audacity practice runs tomorrow maybe.

Hi! I'm here!

Am still browsing, but thinking of recording Brigantine's "Bar Hopping to Loserville" series, in the first instance. Doing a readthrough today.

Must go hunt up some icons!!

Although, um... my screen name is misspelled up there (it ends with an a, not an e) Not sure if that's important but just in case! :)

I'm here, mostly as backup on advice, research, worldbuilding, cheerleading, beta-reading as requested, and general mayhem with inspiration pix. May come up with some small fic, I'm trying to think about snow environment. Seeing as it's supposed be to getting up to 90's by the end of the week here, this may take some concentration--or possibly wishful thinking!

mific's art and idea look SO GOOD. And the bunnies are starting to maybe, maybe nibble.

I'm here too! I think we're off to a good start - I'm beavering away at the cards and we have a system where everyone can see what's being produced so as to think about complements. I hadn't realized how addictive cards like this are as art projects - nice sized tasks with little hits of achievement at regular intervals. I'll see if I can manage the whole deck, but of course there are a zillion other commitments, so not sure if I'll get through them all.

Checking in! Any movement toward leaning one direction or the other? (OR MAYBE IT COULD BE A LOSERS/DARK ANGEL/BABYLON 5 THREEWAY. O___O)

Checking in. :D

Checking in! I have received the wee sweater knitting patterns but haven't had a chance to look. Cheering this on SO HARD. :D

From:

nagasvoice

Checking in also--have done some homework on obtaining the all-important Hat (may know more mid-week) and did some serious dust-busting and impedimenta reduction at my place which was badly needed. Also realized I have acquired lots of things in higgledy-piggled fashion while dreamily assuming I could just put my hand down on something right where I put it. Umm, no.

I know I'll get great picspam from some of the other Bangs, but I'm thinking I'll need to decide not just on what scenes we want to dramatise, but pix of the costumes that matter in those scenes. I may not be able to get real close, but hey, I can try for camo pants if we do the stealing-helicopter scene ("Shut up, Roque, *you're* dead!") Not *entirely* sure what Roque and Clay wearing in the banana-car scene, but it's probably Clay's black suit and white shirt. Same as with full-scale cosplay, what am I imitating here??

Also, do folks want to sort things out in public comments here, or do you want a separate blog such as a tumblr group (not entirely familiar with tumbr to do that, but I know it's a thing) or g+ or comm here on DW for discussion? I'm open any which way.

ETA:
While dustbusting I came across drawing notebooks, and I considered it might be useful to draw setups and diagram out ideas on how to show scenes like the banana car.
It needs the buildup of Roque complaining, for instance, because if it's only an injoke for folks who've seen the movie if you just give Clay's line to Roque, "Are you afraid to be seen in an American classic?"

Here! Do you have notes or outlines for this? Things I can look over now? Do you want to spitball it in email?

So far I really haven't gotten any thought down other than maybe just doing a fusion of all three. I've got end of semester papers to finalize. So after next week I'll be able to shift brainstorming power. I'll make a point by this weekend to send the link and password to those on the team for the blog.
