wiscon_vidpartyHi everyone,
We are in need of a handful of volunteers for two activities which need to happen over the next few weeks, before Wiscon.
1. Permission wrangling
We try to contact vidders and get their permission to use their vids for our party. Your job, if you are up for it, is to leave comments on vidders' DW/LJ/etc, telling them about the vid party and checking that it's OK for us to show their vid. We'll provide a "form letter" that you can cut and paste, so you don't have to come up with your own words. When they respond, you update our spreadsheet to say you've got permission.
You will need: DW and LJ accounts (or OpenID login), access to Google spreadsheets
Your time commitment: 1 hour or more
2. Subtitling
This year we're having a "singalong" show at which the vids will be subtitled. We're going to contact the vidders and ask them either to submit subtitle files OR grant permission for us to create the subtitles on their behalf. If they want us to create the subtitles, that's where you come in. You'll be given instructions, but in short, it's a text file with a certain format which is pretty easy to create.
You will need: VLC or other vid playing software that supports subtitles, any text editing software
Your time commitment: about 1 hour per vid you subtitle
You don't need to be attending to volunteer. This is something that anyone can do, whether they're attending Wiscon or not. So if you'd like to support the Wiscon Vid Party in a way that's purely online, this is a great opportunity.
If you'd like to help out with either of these jobs, please leave us a comment below, in the following format:
Email: (your email address -- or let us know if you prefer to PM it to us)
