WANTED: Fan vids

If people want to make videos about how awesome the show premise is, go for it. Keep 'em under 2 minutes though 'cos people outside the fan base don't want to watch a long fan vid I suspect. We'll figure out how to get them out there at a later date.

Awesome. I'm working up a short script as we speak.

Repeating my sentiment from over at Whedonesque, here are some approaches to fan vids we could consider:

-From the L.A. (or any major U.S. city?) Dollhouse's POV: Recruiting video as suggested above advertising what the Dollhouse can do for you. List the Dollverse url and the night/time for the show as contact info?

-From Rossum's POV: Medical advancements, memory upgrades, etc. All courtesy the friendly people at Rossum. Think back to the Umbrella viral marketing campaign for the Resident Evil film franchise. Rossum has some very Umbrella-esque vibes.

-From Sen. Perrin's POV: Information about the illegal activities of Rossum/Dollhouse. Could also be geared toward "Wanted" posters or "Have You Seen Me?" posters for Caroline, Priya, "Victor," etc. Or even stock photos of attractive young people to avoid copyright shenanigans.

Getting the word out among college students may be our best chance since their demographic is where Fox expected bigger numbers. If we can get more 18-20whatever year olds to watch on Hulu or download from iTunes/Amazon, we have a fighting chance of finishing out the 13 episode run.

I'm not sure if this is allowed but I found a video (I didn't make this) on youtube which I thought gave a greaty good vibe about what the show is about. (Though echo-centric and it doesn't really shows Rossums connection to the Dollhouse)

Do you all have some episode download links? I need them in AVI. I've had a video planned since I finished the series last week but I can't do this obv. without the video!

Sooo... I'm a dork. Why didn't it occur to me to check here before sending off lame emails suggesting this very thing? Duh=me.

What kind of videos should be done? Would it be better to have a whole array of videos with a similar theme or random videos of whatever everyone can come up with?

The only thought I had was of mimicking the "Man on the street" interviews but about the show Dollhouse and not an actual Dollhouse. Maybe someone could come up with maybe just 4 or 5 questions that everyone should film themselves answering- mostly about why the show is so good and worth watching, with at least one question devised for some funny too.

I made a fan vid to try and entice people into watching the second season, but YouTube made me take it down. Its up at BAM Video vault, but it can't do much good there. When I get situated with this new computer I'll work on making another, shorter, more trailer-ish video.

Hey guys, I finished a rough cut of the Dollhouse PR video I proposed earlier.

I intend to make a few more, using the footage I have, so this should be the first in a series.

Here's the link, check it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOXBg...layer_embedded

Very cool fan video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Vz_jKKgHRI though a bit long

A series of 15-second promos. As of this post, three are up, with one added each day. Downloadable mp4, Facebook link, and YouTube link available for each.

I thought maybe any given one of them, since they're short, might be good for producers of video podcasts or streaming events who think their audiences might be receptive to a short tease.

The link you gave only shows a front picture. I don't see any videos.

Yes, because I've taken them all down now that "Fridays 9/8c" is no longer true. They'll be redone and reuploaded in a new context.
