Do any of you fine folks want to assist with doing content notes / warnings for the WisCon vid show?
It is not difficult work, just a bit time consuming, and you must be willing/able to watch vids that do not yet have content notes assigned. It involves making some judgment calls.
I am enjoying the work but there are quite a number of vids, and the work will go faster with more of us. Also sometimes it's nice to have more sets of eyes on these kinds of things.
Comment or contact me via email if you want to help!

I'm also frequently on twittersasha_feather
I hope to get this work done by Tuesday night. There are about 80 vids to go through, and I've done about 20 already.

Poll Results and Playlist Sign-ups!
Apr. 2nd, 2019 11:11 ammetatxtHi there Party People!
Thanks to everyone who participated in our poll. I think we have a clear direction for this year and some ideas for changes that may make the event more enjoyable for everyone.
Overwhelmingly, folks wanted the event to run until at least midnight, with many folks voting for even longer, 1am.
Tentatively, we’re looking at something like this:
This would give us 3 hours of primary programming, up to an hour of bonus programming. Sing Along and Dance Along will fill roughly 45 minutes of that primary programming time.
This timeline is entirely dependent on our coordination with WisCon/SF3 and the Concourse, so it is far from set in stone. Any feedback on this proposed schedule is generally welcome.
We are taking vid suggestions for both Sing Along and Dance Along.
We are taking vid suggestions for a community-generated themed playlist – if you send us vid suggestions, we will try and corral them into some sort of theme. This is a great option for folks who have a key vid or two that they think folks should see in the big room, but don’t have a plan for exploring a specific theme through a longer playlist. Let’s see what we can come up with!
Regarding themed playlists: folks like making themed playlists and we love seeing them! It is a wonderful and terrible challenge to the boundaries of space-time, but we always have more people interested in making playlists than we have programming time for. Going forward, we will accept ALL playlists, but only SOME will be screened. After the screening, we will post ALL submitted playlists so that folks can continue the party at home.
You may be wondering: how will we decide which playlists are screened at the event and which are posted later on? It won’t be easy! You are great at making playlists. Things we will look for, include: Does this playlist have a range of mood, tone, rhythm, etc. or is it fairly consistent in one particular vidding style? Which fandoms are in this playlist? Are they otherwise represented? And of course, how do we think this will play in the larger room?
Playlists are due Monday, April 29th and can be submitted to vidparty[dot]wiscon[at]gmail[dot]com
( Playlist FAQ )
If you would like to make a playlist, please let us know in the comments below! If you know your theme, also let us know!
And of course, don't forget to let us know if you may be submitting a premiere by completing this form! We need to hear from you to ensure we have time reserved for your vid!

| 09:10-09:20 | 10m Intermission |

| 10:30-10:40 | 10m Intermission |
| 10:40-11:45 | Vids (closing with Dance Along) |
| 11:45-12:00 | 15m Intermission |
| 12:00-01:00 | late-night, bonus show (closing with Starships encore) |

metatxtHey Party People!
Update #2 - Premieres, some organizational stuff, and of course, a poll reminder!
Premieres:
Premieres will be due Monday, May 13th at 11:59pm CST. I'm not sure how the time zones will work out, but this is the same date that VidUKon Premieres are due. One deadline to rule your vids!
If you are thinking about submitting a premiere, we need you to express your interest using our form below. Having a broad and detailed picture of the potential premieres allows us to have a submission deadline closer to the date of the actual event. If you sign up for a premiere and then do not have it ready, you won’t “default” or face any other consequence. This is simply a tool to help the programming team better anticipate the potential time commitment of incoming vids. Including as much detail as you are able to provide would be helpful. We will circle back with folks who have expressed interest at the end of April to check-in.
Tell us if you might submit a premiere using the Interest form. by Monday, April 22.
Submit your premiere using the Submit Your Premiere form by Monday, May 13.
Note: the "Submit Your Premieres" form now includes a checklist for warnings to make things easier on everyone!
Let me just add that we LOVE receiving premieres from regular WisCon vidders, vidders new to WisCon, and especially, brand new vidders. We have a really great audience that loves to explore new work and new perspectives.
( Premieres FAQ )
Vid Party Crew updates
We are pleased to announce that warnings will now be managed bysasha_feather and subtitle crew will be organized by runawaynun. Updates on warnings and subtitle crew will be forthcoming, but if you are interested in signing up for making subtitles, please let us know!
Programming Poll
Last, but not least, we have a programming poll for folks who attended Vid Party 2018 or are planning to attend Vid Party 2019. Our current program is quite long. We have received conflicting feedback about programming length, intermissions, etc. and want to be sure everyone has a great time throughout!
We are running this poll for one week, at which point we will share the results and what, if any, changes will be made to our playlist programming. Playlist sign-ups will begin on Tuesday, April 2nd at 12pm noon CST.
If you attended Vid Party 2018 or will be attending Vid Party 2019, please vote in our poll here.

Wiscon 43 Programming Poll
Mar. 26th, 2019 02:44 pmmetatxtHi Party People!
IT'S VID PARTY TIME.
We are considering some changes in response to feedback we have received over these past few years. If you are attending Wiscon Vid Party this year or did so last year, please fill out our brief poll below about the length of programming, the timing of intermissions, and other programming related questions. PLEASE SHARE THIS POST WITH FOLKS WHO MAY BE ATTENDING.
The poll will be open until Monday, April 1st at 12noon CST. At that time, we will be able to better assess how programming may be adapted to accommodate a shorter program.
Here are some potential outcomes of shortening the show: 1) shorter tighter playlists; 2) more collaborative playlists and fewer single-veejay playlists; 3) a single sing-along; 4) a bonus “after-party” of danceable vids or vids from past programming, tbd, if there is a dramatic split between “we want a 2 hours show” and “we want 4 ½ hour show;” 5) other options you are welcome to suggest in the poll.
Once we have results of the poll, we will let everyone know on Monday, April 1st, with playlist sign-ups opening the following day on Tuesday, April 2nd, at 12pm noon CST.
Further updates on Premieres (deadline Monday, May 12th) and admin will be posted tonight/early tomorrow morning.
Thank you for your feedback!
