Let’s see… For a while now I’ve been aware that there’s been lots of sketch comedy on the site. It’s definitely something I’d love for us to be doing. But I will say, comedy is the hardest — especially comedy writing.

I saw drea3000’s Sketch Comedy cover art that CaptClare featured, and it made me want to see what was going on in WunderBoy’s hitRECord Sketch Comedy project.

I really liked one of the concepts contributed to this project called “secret fantasy (dialogue tale)” from anna nimiti. It’s cute, it comes around, it’s got a nice ending, it’s a good little script. Anna nimiti actually has a bunch of the most recommended scripts in the Sketch Comedy project, and I’m gonna go back and read some of them. In the meantime, actors and filmmakers out there, see what you can do with anna nimiti’s script and CONTRIBUTE IT HERE.

And anyone else can throw in your own scripts into WunderBoy’s project, or maybe make a little video for one of the scripts that are in there (cause they’re good.)

As I’ve said before, I’d love to get other people in the community involved, too. So, record yourself on camera (like I just did) and talk about a record, challenge, or project that you think should be spotlighted. Then,POST YOUR VIDEOS HERE.

Thanks again

I’m gonna start off today’s Regularity by talking about MattConley’s recommendation HERE. I know lots of people did recommendations beside our Community Director, but he’s our Community Director for a reason. Anyone can shoot their own Regularity video and CONTRIBUTE IT HERE.

So, Matt’s talking about thatwasnotveryravenofyou’s “Short Story Collection” project where people can write not just finished short stories, but also concepts for short stories. I like this idea of just contributing concepts cause I think that kind of seed can lead to good things.

One of the concepts I thought was interesting was “Utopia” by Presdretion. I really like utopian sci-fi and it’s true that almost all sci-fi, especially popular sci-fi nowadays is dystopian not utopian, meaning it’s about a terrible future not a good future.

I wrote an idea called “Future Tech” saying something similar to Presdretion’s concept. It seems like the only popular sci-fi that’s more utopian is Star Trek. What else is there that’s positive? I think that’s something really cool to try. So, Illustrators, draw some kind of cool situation between humans and machines. Writers, write some ideas and CONTRIBUTE THEM HERE.

I’m really interested in hearing ideas that are either utopian or dystopian, but I’ll just leave it there for now.

Thanks again

One of the main things I look for in a tiny story is when the illustration adds to the text, like this. The text on its own wouldn’t have much to it, but accompanied by this illustration, it’s charming.

So, I’ve asked you guys to help me make these Regularity videos and I wanna show you an exemplary contribution. And now all you guys can use it as an example of what to do. CONTRIBUTE YOUR VIDEOS HERE
