**************end Update***********************

Hi All,

Recently I started working on an experiment where 50 people will come together to record 1 poetry.

Here is how it will work:

  1. Every person will be given 1 line of a poem
  2. The person will record his/her line(with his/her video speaking it) from his/her home and send it to me
  3. I will collate all lines ,create a single poem and add some music

 We already have around 25 volunteers Via my FB page. If you guys are interested , please do comment below or on my facebook page(Link in my blog)

The poem chosen for this is titled "Someday"

PS: I have never done this before and have no idea if it will work. It is an experiment for me too . If we are able to pull it off..It will be beautiful and yes pretty cool ;)

So who is in? 

We are starting in a day or 2

Update , I am freezing any more entries tonight so anyone who wants to be a part should comment by 8:00 PM. I will assign a line to everyone who registered here or on the FB page and post instructions for recording by midnight.

It would be great if you all can send me the files in a day or 2, it will not take more than 10 mins of yourtime. I plan to collate all this weekend and release by sunday

just to reword myself: Yes a 2 MP camera will be perfectly OK. Voice is more important than Video..

Also we do not need any full shots, just your face and shoulders will also do. DO not worry much about teh video, I can crop it and do some editing. Audio is something beyond my control

PS:This is an experiment and I have no Idea how it will turn out to be. There are 100s of things that can go wrong but hopefully we will be able to manage.

Hi Madhur,

Will the video clarity be of great importance? I mean My lappy doesn't have a webcam and my camer is only of 2MP. Will it do?

Not me, unless the poem is something like midsummer night's dream and you have some donkey character in the poem.

Count me in !!
