UPSB v4
The Vault / International Pen Spinning Festival

Date: Mon, Feb 13 2012 17:23:25
This is a new project I'm working on, that the IPSA should endorse. It is meant to be a non-competitive international event, where each participating community will be asked to produce a video (ie. collab) during the festival. There will be a schedule which contains the release date of every collab. The idea is to organize the schedule such that no collab is released at the same time. For example, we already know JEB likes to release their collab on christmas. Other collabs will then be scheduled in other times. What we need now is ideas to make this festival more interesting than just a schedule of collab dates. 1) Should there be a theme? 2) What's the frequency of the releases? Every week, 2 weeks, month? 3) When should it start, when should it end? 4) Should we have awards for the collabs, even though its non-competitive? Like best editing, spinner, etc. 5) What should be the name of the festival? Right now I call it spinFEST

I really like this idea. I'm pretty sure IPSA will support and endorse this project. A schedule of one collab per week would be great. Enough to build anticipation, but short enough to invoke excitement. I don't beleieve there should be a theme. Or at least, communities could choose their own theme. I think awards would be interesting, but I think that would cause too much competition. But it would be pretty interesting if we had our own "Grammys" awards except internationally. (That seems like a different project.) A good time for the festival could be during August. That's in the middle of after world events and before the next world event.

That's way different than Zombo's idea. -

1 collab/1 week could put a lot of pressure on the communities, official collabs often get delayed. i think most important is how much time we give in advance to prepare

Ah, I meant there will be months of preparation and the one collab a week is only the release date. -

Is there anything going on in July? I know a lot of people start school in August so I'm not sure that would be the best time to do this.

i honestly thought that the International Pen Spinning Festival was already a good enough name.

World Pen Spinning Festival?
-

Global Spinning Festival? It would be interesting to have other activities during the weeks/months of the festival like mini tack on games and modding contests and stuff like that. I think a good time to have it is after the WC/WT to spread out the major events that are happening in the PS world. Perhaps September or October

Why not just PenFest or SpinFest? It sounds good to me...

idk, using "Fest" just doesnt sound right to me when i say it. either way I think @Hippo2626 has the right idea. Global Spinning Festival sounds really good. -
Date: Tue, Feb 14 2012 04:53:05
Global Spinning Festival sounds pretty clumsy tbh.

I like SpinFest best. How about each board chooses their own theme. ex: JEB - Mx spinning. TWPS - Powertricks. etc. But i could see problems with that, not enough themes for each board, fighting for a certain theme... Just an idea.

1) Maybe a community/board based theme? (visually representing your respective community.) Or each board decides on a theme only between the participating spinners, and it's kept unknown until it's released. 2) Everyone would have a certain amount of time to make their collabs, then they are released once a week? 3) Probably closer to a time when school is out would be best. 4) Each collab, an overall public voted favorite spinner gets a prize (If possible.) 5) SpinFest is already a good name, keep it.

some details im thinking of 2 collabs release per week + 1 "special entry" video. Basically -> the two collabs are the official vids submitted by communities, special entry videos are basically anybody can submit their own vids, then have some judges evaluate and take the best ones, and we release them in between collabs total time = around 2 months

This actually sounds like a great idea, I'm not sure how good spinners are with deadlines, but looks like a great opportunity for the communities to show off everything they've got. When would take place in the calender year? I think themes could be good but there's often opposition to constraining/ forced "artistry". I think awards would be good too, maybe publicly voted?

Why not make it a year-collab. Release it in Summer -> Summer is yay time for this collab -> Winter is yay time for JEB collab -> yay for all ze spinners. =3

new idea i have final collab of the festival is going to be international, with 1 spinner per participating community.
-
Date: Thu, Jun 7 2012 18:59:46
what's it gonna be about though, just normal spinning?
-
Date: Thu, Jun 7 2012 19:01:22
yes collabs from each community

I think we should set up a poll for name choices. A lot of people have different ideas.

Have all the collabs should be filmed earlier and released with a week in between. Also, trailers for the next collab to be released would be cool. In short, have all the boards film their collabs in like November or October, release them one a week during December and January, and release a trailer for the upcoming board collab in tandem with the weekly collab.
