    Use this thread to share ideas/themes/concepts for collabs. This thread is meant for ppl who have good ideas but dont necessarily want to organize a collab, but they want to share the idea so that hopefully someone picks it up and makes a collab on it.

    This thread is pinned such that if someone wants to create a new collab and is looking for an idea, s/he can consult this thread.

    I don't think I'm in the position to make this but, I have an idea for a upsb collab. Our first official collab should be like PDS' Hall Of Honour.

  3. mhig
    Date: Wed, Nov 5 2008 04:36:16

    i have several ideas
    upsb related -
    upsb hall of honor - maybe we can get this through a tournament of upsb... who knows..
    upsb 1st official collaboration - the one we first planned got cancelled D: maybe we can pick it up...
    upsb + (other pen spinning forum) - like upsb + hkpsa maybe with other countries like kpsa or jeb

    other
    rushon collab - only rushons allowed, maybe other rushon using pens as well
    expert collab - experts only from upsb! serious filtering is needed and editor must have very strong sense of judgement
    trick promotion collab - simply demonstrating tricks to the maximum of it's ability such as a thumbspin 15.5 and such done by upsb spinners, they don't necessarily have to be records

    more ideas to come later.

    the mod's collab=collab for admin and moderator of upsb...

    Ok, i would probably not be the most "well known" for organizing a collab such as this, but i would at least be willing to put quite a bit of energy into the creation of this. Ill try to write up a draft and make a post at the very least, but this seems like it should be really well made with a lot of thought put into it....

    I think the "thought" process of the video should be mainly put into choosing those who organize, and then from their THEY choose what goes on in the video with any outside suggestions to be subject to those creating it...I already sent a big draft to Zombo which sorta adresses this i guess? ill prolly make a post thats way to big......

    hmm I've the idea to revive UPSB 1st since the summer... ask ppl like toast from the Toronto Gathering if you want to know more...

    the dilemna is deciding who gets in, any elite member who has a UPSB account, or members who have ONLY a UPSB account...

    because if its the former, I can see the collab being dominated by people from FPSB, PPP, etc.

    it depnds if you want a collab of the highest quality possible, or not

    --------

    and also what's the rush? i'd rather make sure the collab was damn good than just make a plain collab that doesnt really stand out, aside from the fact that it has good spinners and the name UPSB in it.

    I think we should try and do something like- people which consider UPSB their main board... I mean, It's not a problem if you have an account in another board, but it should be somehow obvious that you main board is UPSB...

    Kinda bad English, I hope I'm understandable ;>_>

    I totally agree with this, i just think what people are really trying to say is that they are fine with it taking however long it needs to take so long as people are actually working on it.

    Well, I'm Swedish and I have SweSpin as "homeboard", yet I'm among the most active members of UPSB. Would be kind of stupid if me originally being a swespinner prevented me from participating. Filtering should be done both based on how good the combo is, and how much of a UPSBer the person is, but just belonging to another board/having another board as "homeboard" shouldn't prevent anyone from also being in an official first UPSB-sole collab.

    I guess it's because that in boards like JEB and stuff there aren't may spinners from elsewhere.

    yet, UPSB = Universal Pen Spinning Board so I guess people who hang out here often but have another homeboard is okay.

  17. sangara
    Date: Wed, Nov 5 2008 17:35:22

    Maybe there should be a post count also like 150 posts is just one requirement along with being active and being good at spinning?

  18. Zombo
    Date: Wed, Nov 5 2008 18:51:13

    cuz I was thinking the collab should be like 2:30 max (long collab = suck)

    so around 6 spinners

    it would have then

    eriror
    chautran
    vicgotgame

    then i thought

    why not rarka, because I see him often on UPSB

    i dont know about the rest tho

    But he's also an admin on PPP and is usually only showing off his combos. But I like where you're going, we should have a general consensus on 3 spinners. And then battle it out for the rest dunno.gif maybe have 12 elected spinners then have a mini tournament to see who gets to participate?

    6 spinners sounds cool, though I think it would be ok as long as it's less than 10. a lot of thought should be put in the music and editing though.

    but yea we should take time for upsb's 1st. i agree with the length being short.. but i was thinking that that would be very similar to the hall of honor since we're picking out the few best from upsb.. but yea.. i guess in a way they're different >.< it's more promoting (hall of honor) than upsb 1st.. k

    Omg stop the drama. Open sign-ups for everybody and then just pink out the best clips. No need to narrow down the choices. If people don't fit in the sheme of an UPSB person, don't put them in.

    its because I have a vision for the collab.

    I want good transitions in the collab, at a the level exceeding what we've seen so far in past doubles videos. I have a lot of ideas for transitions and I want to discuss with the select few spinners if we can apply them.

    That means its not open videos, but videos designed to fit with one another.

    I think we can showcase talent and "collab creativity" both in one collab.

    Why do you think other boards have nice collabs? Because they have better spinners? Because they have nice transitions? NO, because they make it look nice. They don't have shitty angles, bad quality, or humongous pens. That's all we need to do. We need to make it simple.

    lets get another odd location going.
    mini mod collab sounds good too

  26. Zombo
    Date: Thu, Nov 6 2008 03:18:46

    idk, i dont think we have any pressure whatsoever to release simple high-quality collabs, so why not only organize official collabs that are innovative and leave the organization of simple collabs to the regular users,

    the only officially organize UPSB collab so far is UPSB+PDS. and that was innovative because it was the first collab between 2 communities. so its not like ppl expect us to release standard collabs anyway.

    It seems like your trying to just make things more simple lolz....which i can understand considering how the other one fell apart because of the lack of simplicity, but I think its a good thing if we make this overly complex, because it will just be that much better...

    So, in terms of choosing who the 6 or so spinners in the collab will be:
    -Eriror
    -TNC
    -Vicgotgame

    a seeded 2 round tourney, with the first round being 1v1 and the next round being all vs all and whoever Zombo chooses to be in the collab gets in...simple as that?

  30. SJ.
    Date: Thu, Nov 6 2008 16:43:33

    for the upsb 1st
    i think we need some spinners that are relatively new and good
    i mean just putting spinners that are very well known isnt very interesting
    we should put some new members
    like lits,shadow,mhig(hes not new but...)
    well, new as in other communities dont really know about them
    what do u think?

  31. sangara
    Date: Thu, Nov 6 2008 17:22:28

    I highly agree that we need newer spinners in the collab, but I'm also agreeing with Zombo and his vision of a very high quality small collab.

  32. Zombo

    .....

    I'm sure if anyone works incredibly hard on a combo and comes up with an innovative combo that simply NEEDS to be seen by the rest of the pen spinning world they will be in the collab....but the thing is, until someone DOES submit a video like that, we should simply have our very best spinners in the collab... isn't key3 more likely to come up with something innovative than someone new who is still working on learning harder tricks?

    Key3 doesn't always doing something innovative, in fact it's rare that he does. Creativity is hard to come by, especially for a lot of people.


    I don't understand why it's necessary that only well-known spinners can participate. Rather, Nate's thinking seems just about right to me. Wouldn't the best videos make it in? Not just well-known spinners?


    But I suppose for the high quality collab idea, the tourny can be hosted. The one that's been talked about in the battlezone for the WT.

    Can we set a date for this right now so people feel as though they have an obligation to actually make videos/animations/graphics? we don't actually hafta do it on that date, but I think by simply saying "its going to happen pretty soon", people have no motivation at all to even start....

    anddddddd my vote for the 6 spinners:
    Eriror+1
    Chautran+1
    Vicgotgame+1
    Ellusion67+1
    Sfsr+1
    Pholord+1

    if we want more than 6:
    Nateiskewl+1(hes hawt)
    Scott Shaputis+1(as much as i hate saying this....)
    DaThroat+1(yayyyyyy)

    For me personally I would be more motivated if I wasn't sure my vid was going to be in the collab already. I would be more motivated to try my best if I knew my vid had to be one of the best to get in. Thats how I am at least; not sure if it really applies though since Iam not pro. I just think getting to be in a major official collab is motivation enough.

    If its open to the public there wil be more vids, out of all those there should be some that are better then a small group can produce.

    Professional lol? more like "Organized".......There is no difference between a 1 round tourney where 1 judge chooses the videos and a turn in date, I just think a "tournament" makes it sound more epic....I think splitting it into 3 different topics would be a lot easier than having everyone discussing everything in one topic...

    1) Stop giving people such big deadlines. My SOSE teacher has been giving us weeks and weeks to complete assignments and nobody even starts 'til there's two weeks to go. He also checks them a week before they are due. This helped to get my first draft done, and then get it finished. I think we've also proved this with the Chinese Spirit Collab and UPSB Paired Collab. Long deadlines don't work.

    2) Zombo, your standards are too high. You want spinners who are mainly on UPSB (Narrows it down, seeing as lots of people here are from different boards). You want spinners who are already BIG (narrows it down a lot). You want spinners to not only make an awesome video, but manage to put a transition somewhere in there (some people don't have days and days to film). You want the spinners not to be lazy and actually spend ages making a video. You also want the collaboration to be very creative and you want the spinners who already make a lot of videos, must be hard for them to get new ideas.

    What I'm Suggesting:

    Let it be open, or at least make 1 preliminary round to see who can make a good video. Think about it, if a spinner who is not so well known makes an awesome video and gets in, I'm pretty sure he'll jump at the opportunity (if he's not an idiot) and try the best he can to represent his spinning to the other boards.

    You need people to get you to send a video of their progress on their combo so far (i.e. the closest attempt to their final combo so far). You can actually tell they're doing it. BE LIKE A WOMAN, NAG THEM TO DEATH.

    Pressure people to get their videos in, or fire their asses, this is the internet and we try to be a nice people, but we need to be more serious about really big things. People should only join if they know they are going to try their hardest to make a video.

    Get a good editor, doesn't have to be a veteran, just someone who looks like they have potential. Give them strict guidelines and rules by which to edit it, make sure you consult with them a lot and get them to send you the video at different stages (e.g. when intro is done, when transitions have been put in, etc).

    Don't give a long deadline! Give two weeks at the most, if you think somebody really needs an extension, (judging from their closest attempt video that they sent you) give it to them. Be very strict with this though, if someone's not in by the deadline, tell them to fuck off, and post on UPSB how many more videos you need to fill in the rest and use the best video/s sent to you.

    Finally, let's get a fucking video out. It'd be nice if we could actually do a UPSB collaboration.


    With normal collaborations, most of this wouldn't apply. But we have to get serious, this is a pen spinning board and we pen spin. We should be able to make a goddamn pen spinning collaboration. At this rate we will never make one. If you don't send in a video at the WT, YOU'RE OUT! It should be the same for something as big as this.

    Note: Except during the first paragraph, any place where the word 'he' is used, the word 'she' may be interchanged at reader's leisure.

    I fail to see why there is a big pressure to release a collab ASAP, a collab that anybody can organize. If UPSB wants to release a collab, make it worthwhile.

    I'd be more satisfied knowing that I tried, but failed, to make a higher quality collab, than release something I would not be proud of.

    i will think about it a bit more and com with a solution.

    Collab: da streetz

    Its not like those crazy-taxi team night time tag outdoors.

    This time, we spin while walking outside in public areas, at fast food outlets, on buses and trains etc.

    How's that?

    eh the copy collab is not that good of a idea imo
    cuz if u have 4 vids showing at the same time,
    you dont really have the time to pay attention to 1 spinner
    you just look at all of them
    id rather concentrate on one rather than seeing all of them vaguely

  72. octan3
    Date: Mon, Dec 22 2008 00:05:34

    this is not a collab, but ive noticed that we dont have alot of tournaments
    we should have tournaments for like i dunno, location(bay area, east coast, etc.) , a kind of pen(MX, KT, etc), how long been spinning(like under 2 months or under 5 months, etc) just for fun.... just alot of small-scale tournaments
    results can be decided through public vote or organizers get judges...

    i think this is in the wrong place...

    Date: Tue, Feb 17 2009 04:19:29

    ok, y'know how the french board had their mini mods collab (http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=FR&hl=fr&v=Ke9Dsi83Kc0), and upsb had the unmodded collab (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AjtY3wlNqU), we should have an unmodded mini collab, like with mini rsvps, mini dr. grips, mini G2s, mini profiles, etc.! It'll be a fun challenge... sort of. biggrin.gif
    ...oh and I don't think ill take part in this if this idea takes flight, i'm not good enough sad.gif

    Well, just a random Idea that I though about, since UPSB is a Universal board, maybe we should make a collab with 1-2 participants from every country we can get here in UPSB? I'm not sure what we should do about places like Japan, if we should ask JEB members or something, I guess the organizer will decide or w/e... or maybe it was all done already? just a random though, dunno~

    There is already the Euro collab and the Asia collab (I think confusedsmilie.gif).
    Combining them could be a good idea as long as it isn't too long.
    Every spinner can try to find a scheme fitting his country, make it food, games or unique scenery for the specific country.

    I actually thought about the Euro collab when this idea came into my mind...
    And yeah, let's say we have.... maybe 10 different countries in UPSB? I have no idea.... anyway, 1 spinner from each country, maybe 2, and I guess it should be ok.... and yeah, I agree with the scheme idea~

    We should have a collab where three spinners are copying each combo from another collab. Similar to the Copy Spin collab, but its an actual copy of another collab.

  80. wo_shi_ni
    Date: Fri, Mar 6 2009 05:36:42

    didnt they do that in the JEB 1st copy collab?

  81. chogoling
    Date: Fri, Mar 6 2009 13:20:29

    JEB's copy spin collab is a collab where everyone spins exactly the same combo. EVERY VID.

    My idea is a normal copy collab, but have three people copying, so its four pen spinners doing a same combo. Then another four spinners doing another combo.

    - Each clip begins by catching a pen thrown in from outside the screen and ends by throwing it outside the screen? (to the next one)
    - Each person uses a pen with the colors of their country's flag.

    The concept in my idea now is "1st try filming" collab

    Simply, spinners just submit anything that they recorded on their 1st try >_>

    I guess this is gotta be epic pen drops collab if its out lol , BUT if you filter the vids then this might be cool collab !!

  88. Erirornal Kraione
    Date: Wed, Mar 18 2009 19:15:27

    So far I approve of the UPSB's Country collab, the Copy collab and the 1st try collab. tongue.gif Especially the last one should be fun, you might want to do some unofficial 5-minute collabs though... As you have some time to film instead of only the first try. And it might be easier to do them unofficially because you can regulate it by MSN. Cool idea, though.

    2c2p1 collab:

    Two combos.

    Two pens.

    One clip.

    One collab.

    2c2p1 collab.

    (Each spinner films one clip with two combos in, each combo done with a different pen.)

    here's a kinda stupid idea:

    instead of showing the entire combos one after another (like normal), you kinda cut/fade out parts of combos and resume them later.

    i dont know what it would look like but I'm guessing it would make you remember the combos better since you see the same spinners multiple times and have to remember where that part is resuming from.
