Issue One Machinima Idears

Each Issue will have a Machinima Review From the look of the cover and the sound of the first Interview, it's looking like this first Issue will have the infamous Berry--herself--theme.

That said, shall we take a poll to decide which of these Berrybaby27 Productions will be presented in the first Issue?

I absolutly love them all, and it's so hard to pick one!

But I think that my favourite would have to be Over Again.

All are great but the first one just makes me wanna smile.

So, it's looking like the "theme" so to speak, is going to be an introduction of Berry Sims. Thus, I'm thinking we'll be doing Sweet Escape since it seems the most fitting

Sweet Escape has always been my favourite. It's like in the Wizard of Oz where everything is black and white in Kansas and then as soon as Dorothy reaches that place over the rainbow its like...an acid trip of colour

Har har! Nice analogy. That made me actually laugh.
P.S. Miss Harlee, would you like to help me work on this one? I'm going to be working on a couple Spotlight Articles focusing on a couple Sims (I'm thinking Olivine & Merlot... Possibly. Not sure yet), so I'm brainstorming for those, but don't really know what to do with this one.

Any idears? We're supposed to make it like a movie review basically, so that it's from the Sims' perspective. I'm just not sure how to go about that Maybe you and I could tag-team it and do a dialog type article--i.e. two voices: I especially liked this part of it. Yeah, I thought that was okay, but I wasn't particularly keen on..... You know? Like feeding off of each other... Except that it would be from the Sims' perspectives... So...

omb, how weird would it be if we all started off as vanillas. What's a vanilla?

hahaha, I just made myself laugh.

Yeah, sure. I like the dialogue idea. We could also implement a rating system, like 4 out of 5 berries or something. We could get 2 Berry sim faces as the reviewers and then, like, ghost write for them kind of and have them talking between themselves? That would be another way to introduce some Berry personalities as well. What do you think?

Yeah, I like the Berry rating
And I think I kind of get what you mean about the ghost writing/sim faces thing, but do you want to elaborate on that? I'm slightly confused. But from what I think I understand, I really really like it.

and I've been snooping around you FB and I like what I see We have all the same interests hahaha. And I stole the Voldie Fierce site. SO. FUNNY.

Personally, Over Again is my favourite, but that's probably because I'm an uber obsessed Splash fan Yeah, Sweet Escape would be a great introduction to berry sims

Like say if we had 2 fictional sim reviewers called KitKat and Snickers (off the top of my head ><) and they were the ones reviewing the 'movie' essentially. Of course sims can't actually speak (probably...) so we can be their voices.

VOLDIE FIERCE! Have you seen A Very Potter Musical on youtube? So funny!

Very Potter Musical=Epic WIN! But I'm getting off topic

Booky: Yes!! I know... These four are my favorites

Harlee: Okay, that's exactly what I was thinking! YES YES! I love it. Let's do that. And YES YES YES! Very Potter Musical = Epicness to trump all epicness. Have you both seen the HP Puppet Pals? Of course you have...

er-herm... But yes... back on topic. So, shall we come up with a couple names/personalities for our reviewers? Or start writing our script/review? I like the Wizard of Oz/Acid trip comment That needs to stick.

Over Again is one of my favorites and I was considering having it as an idea for this issue, but if we decide on Sweet Escape it's perfect as an introduction

The machinima reviews will be like tv shows and the rainbowcy reviews will be like books btw :p

Oh hai there Mia
Rainbowcy reviews?
And do you have any specifics/examples of what you'd like to see in these reviews?
And is the Harlee/Kyrsten dialog that we were talking about sounding okay?

Marlee is covering the rainbowcy thing :p

I love the idea you guys have going, I'm more than happy to let that run though :p For the berries you use, try berrifying your simselves ^^

Basically I want what you guys were running around with. Think of it like a movie/show review in a mag, I guess.

{over Again would most likely come under TV show review, like Over Again and any other splash machinima were part of a TV series based off the 'book'}

Potter Puppet Pals? I still swear that everybody knows about that because of me, hahaha xD But on topic...

Probably personalities first so that we can base what we write around who they are. It'd be really funny to have characters who conflict with each other a bit (comically, of course. Berry is all about being lively and fun!) For example, the Wizard of Oz/acid thing could be something like:
KitKat: "It's like in the Wizard of Oz where everything is black and white in Kansas and then as soon as Dorothy reaches that place over the rainbow its like...an acid trip of colour"
Snickers: You can't talk about acid in a review!
KitKat: Why not?
Snickers: There are children reading this!!!
KitKat: It's so true though. Admit it.

I'm stoked you liked that though (x

Mia: Okay, cool!

Harlee: Haha, I love it So maybe we could facebook chat a dialog about the "movie," document it, and then tweak it to make it sound extra good... yes? Other suggestions?

Sounds good! I could get up early on Sunday because I think that would be your late Saturday afternoon. I have a concert on Saturday (wooo!!) so I won't be here then. What timezone are you in? I'm GMT+10.

No new suggestions yet, although we'll probably figure something out as we go along, haha

I think I'm GMT+8... or something... I'm on the west coast of the States Where are you at? I have no idea how the GMT thing actually works, so poo.

[pause]

Okay, I stalked your Facebook and it looks like you're in Aussieland a-go-go... So, how do we figure this out? Hahaha

Australia! The land of the free and plentiful where everything costs over twice as much than it does in America due to importation costs!

No, I'm joking. Australia is lovely. Just too expensive T.T

ON TOPIC, if you're +8 that means that if I come on at 12pm on Sunday it'll be 10am for you. You can figure out your timezone here: http://whatismytimezone.com/

Oh, okay cool Yeah, I'm definitely at +8, I just don't know what that means. But if Saturday's going to be hard for me, but if you can do ... let me think about this... if you can dooooo... your Saturday/my Friday? I can do anytime on my Friday

... or maybe I'm at -8? I have no idea...

Well, GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) is 0. So since I'm GMT +10, if it was midnight in Greenwich it would be 10am here. The link should tell you whether you're a + or - 8 (:

Uhm, Saturday wouldn't be good because I have a music festival which is going alllll day! My friends and I have been planning it for a year and it's happening in a couple of days! Ahh!

This is hard >< We could probably do it over, like, Facebook message or something?

Ooh Harley, you're an aussie as well? I'm a Brissie girl, you get the floods? :p
