Because this month is not going to be the last, and as we have gotten a few new members (waves to Celeb and Jamie) I have decided on an idea.
Theme Months.
That's right....every month you will be challenge ::coughs:: ordered ::coughs:: do complete a trillion things in one category.
And December is the month for multimedia.
This means posters, videos, photos, etc. And it truly all isn't that difficult.
1. Posters
Get on the computer into whatever program you need (Publisher, iPhoto, Paint, Word, etc) and make a brochure. Also you could do a full blown poster. Decorate this poster to the theme of either TDW, TWLC, COTSK, or Isle Duo. The poster must have the book(s) cover on it somewhere.
From there all you have to do is hang it up somewhere. You only get 500 Points per location but these can be hung up at libraires, schools, book stores, churches, etc. So there's the possibility for many points to be gained.
2. Video
This one requires a bit more technology but I think most of you have it. All you need is a video camera and a computer. You all have a computer so it's just the camera we need worry about. There's all kinds of programs for making videos too, Moviemaker (on all PCs), iPhoto/Video (on all Macs). Any will work. If you need help working the program let me know. If you do not have acces to these programs you have a few options. 1: email me the photos/videos you'd like in the video and I will finish it for you. You will retain full credit for the video. 2: Ask me for directions. Here are some things on videos;
- They don't need to include your face; I know some of you are worried about putting your face and such out there. And I tottally get that. But here's an idea--make a video that's almost like a slideshow presentation.
- They do not need to promote the books; If you've never read TDW, TWLC, or COTSK. That is perfectly alright! You can get points for promoting Silvertree. So long as you mention COTSK in the video.
- You do not need a Youtube account; If you do not have, or do not want to make, a Youtube account I will gladly post the videos for you on mine.
These are worth less points, but are fairly easy to get. All you have to do is go into a store and take a picture of the books on the shelf with you and an employee in the pic. Very simple. 200 Points per location. Now, again if you don't want to be in the pic...insert something to represent yourself...something like your username or the like. Storyteller used her yellow ball in her pics, and that works just fine.
And that's the theme. Multimedia. If you think of anything else that falls into this category, DO IT. And as always reviews and such are appreciated. We will have a full blown review attack though...trust me lol
Endurance and Victory all!

Sweetness! I am gonna do a video tomorrow woot! Finally I am getting my wheels turning :D. Keeneye, I should love to see how ya made all those points in an email (or on here), as I think I could get some ideas ^^ :)
Millard
I'm thinking I might be able to do a video starting asap! Maybe this weekend! If you have any more detailed tips, can you email me, Keeneye?
I glad and disappointed at the prospect of the extension. I am glad that we will have a greater chance of overtaking the other tribes, and I am disappointed because this takes a lot of time out of the free time I have from homework, community service, etc.
Great enthusiasm guys! I was worried the extension would get yo uall down ::laughs:: Vidoes would be awesome! 2,000 possibly more for each video!
Millard, mainly all I've done is book reviews, purhcasing links on my blog, and 10K of that game fro mthe librarian thing. I'll email you tonight.
Noah, email me with what you're planning on doing and I'd love to help.
Celebrilomiel here.
Extension, yay! I was a bit worried about joining right at the end.
Hmm... Photos would be easy... if I can just get to a place that sells the books. xP Transportation is my biggest issue. And I don't think my parents would want me to be in the photo, so I'll have to find some substitute. This shall be interesting. ^.^
I'd like to do a video, I've just never done one before, so I may need a bit of help...
I think I'll be able to do a poster and hang it on my church's youth bulletin board.
I'm volunteering at the library tomorrow (Friday), and I'm planning on talking to my librarian about the books. I may be able to do hang a poster on the bulletin board there, too… I’ll ask.
And I should be able to write some reviews this weekend. Hopefully.
Update: Found out that we were going to Barnes and Noble. Scrambled to find substitute for photo... and then they didn't have the book. Strike one.
Mom says no putting book poster on church bulletin board. Strike two.
But the poster at the library looks hopeful, as does the librarian copy.
Wonderful enthusiasm Celeb! if there's a Family Christian book store around you I know for a fact that they carry COTSK and TDW. So that might be an option.
Feel free to email me if you need help with the video!
If you could get your library to stock COTSK (whether they get the free one or buy it) that'd be awesome. Good points (500 if they buy it...5,000 if they get it for free) either way. Plus it helps with the purpose forthe poster.
I'm not new *cough cough* just new to getting points. ;) I have no idea how to do anything videoish but i think it would be cool to get people know each other/live close together get together and do a bunch of videos & pictures at the same times. It would be easier and we could get them faster. Just an idea to throw out there.
