What is your position on the Vidcast idea?
- I like it, and I think we should do it!
- I like it, but I’d prefer something be done differently, or wait to do it until a later time.
- I don’t really like it, the idea really needs to be reworked or restructured before we consider it.
- I don’t really like it, I just don’t think Pixar Planet should have a Vidcast.

What is the Pixar Planet Video Cast?
It is a video, maybe 10 minutes long, highlighting key aspects in the following categories:
-
Current Pixar News
-
Past Pixar Reviews, or Overviews
-
Pixar Fandom
It’s main purpose is to deliver an overall message of each category in Video format, for those of you whom need a quick fix.
it’s secondary purpose is to give the Pixar Podcast and Peach Magazine more attention; Were the Pixar Podcast is more broadly focused, and Peach Magazine will go more in-depth on said articles.
It’s third purpose: To gain a wider audience. the intention would be to post these vidcasts on the official Pixar Planet Youtube page, drawing in more possible members.
It’s forth purpose: A Fix for those whom can retain information better through visual media over audio or text.
It’s fifth purpose: To use that old Youtube account that’s been gathering rust.
Who will be part of the Vidcast?
Each Vidcast will have a filmed beginning, and end from a host of any willing member. If no one steps up to do so, I will substitute. Those who do not want to be on camera would also have the option of voice-recording with me putting an animation/video footage behind it.
Me, and/or other moderators will chose the topics for the categories. Anyone will have an opportunity to write the article or to host it through audio.
Currently, I’m the only one who’s looking to move forward with this project, but if your interested, please let me know! We can always use more people.
How will the Vidcast work?
The Vidcast will be structured and conducted in the following sequence:
Introduction:
A Quick recognizable introduction video lasting about 30 seconds. Than consisting of a member driven intro segment over-viewing the current episode’s line-up.
Current Pixar News:
Can consist of up to 3 different news reports about 3 events that happened within the past 3 months. For example, Lee’s auctioning for Haiti, Andrew’s leave for the set of John Carter Of Mars, or Toy Story’s recent move to the mixing department.
Past Pixar Reviews and/or Overviews:
Can consist of up to 3 different articles from any type, and would hopefully connect recent news with older articles. Examples include a review of Up the Video Game for the iPhone, Reflection between the recent Luxo Lawsuit and other Pixar-based lawsuits like the Monsters, Inc. Lawsuit, or Comparison between a Pixar film and another film that came out.
Pixar Fandom:
Can consist of 1 Fan’s audio or video work, or many’s Image work.
Outro:
A member driven segment reminding people to check out other sources like Upcoming Pixar, Peach and Radio Pixar for more information.
Any additional Video or Audio that may go with an article would be greatly appreciated, but would be provided by me if none is donated.
When/Where will the Vidcasts be filmed/released/etc?
The idea is to release them quarterly. Therefore, each ‘season’ would consist of 4 episodes, releasing in February, June, August and November. Each one would be uploaded to the Pixar Planet Youtube page.
Potential hosts will be selected from a list of members willing to do it and will be asked if they can film/record within a period of time. If not, simply move on to the next person on the list. If all default, I do it.
Editing would also mostly be done by me, unless others also have video editing experience.
So, let me know what you think! If you have any questions, just shoot.
