Toy Story fan commentary - 10.20.2008

Lightning Eclipse, lizardgirl, Pixar.rocks - Thanks, guys. I’ll be there with you at the commentary in spirit. (Wow, how sombre, Heheh.) :slight_smile: But I can’t wait for the opportunity to do another practice and a different commentary next time with you.

JesusFreak, M-O, Netbug and WBoon - Based on the information you’ve given me about your schedules so far I’ve compiled some times when we can do the practice. There’s four hours of time starting at 00:00 Friday October 31 UTC, eight hours of time starting at 00:00 Saturday November 1 UTC, three hours of time starting at 02:00 Monday November 3 UTC, four hours of time starting at 01:00 Tuesday November 4 UTC, three hours of time starting at 02:00 Wednesday November 5 UTC, one hour of time starting at 04:00 Friday November 7 UTC, and 6.5 hours of time starting at 02:30 Saturday November 8 UTC. Could you let me know when is the soonest time that will work for all of you? You guys also need to choose which short film you’d like to practice on.

Wow… that’s… a lot of ‘AMs’ for me. I see none of them occurs at the night for me. Hm.

Well, at 00:00 Friday October 31 UTC and 00:00 Saturday November 1 UTC, it would be 8:00 AM for me, and I don’t usually wake up that early (despite my recent early wakings). It’s a little unpredictable as to whether I am able to wake up for it, but I can try.

It is much better at 04:00 Friday November 7 UTC, as it would be at 12:00 noon for me, though that won’t be as soon as possible…

02:00 Monday November 3 UTC works, too, I guess, as it is set at 10:00 AM for me.

So, in conclusion, I would try and make it for the 00:00 Friday October 31 UTC session or the 00:00 Saturday November 1 UTC thereafter if I am to miss the former. If not, 02:00 Monday November 3 UTC will have to be it, unless I inform you otherwise.

WBoon - Note that on some days there’s a large time interval when we can do the practice, so we can start later. For example on November 1, because there’s eight hours on that day, we could start at 3:00 PM Singapore time.

Oh, that’s goody then. Mind if I just enter at about noon or so at November 1? Maybe around 11:00 AM-12:00 noon?

Ok, that sounds good. I’m pretty sure it’ll work for JesusFreak and Netbug. We’ll have to see if it’ll work for M-O.

The 31st, 1st, and the 7th look good for me. :slight_smile:

I wouldn’t mind doing Lifted.

Right, I forgot to choose my preferred short. One Man Band seems fine to me.

So, we’re leaning towards doing it on November 3rd? That should work fine for me…there are still a few members we need conformation from, of course.

As for which short, I’ll let some of the other people pick, since I’m probably not going to be too involved in this practice session. << >> I wanna give the new people a chance to practice.

Wait November 3rd for the Toy Story commentary ?
If so, I can’t participate 'cause i will be taking the plane to come home… :confused: Sorry guys but perhaps Rachel could take my place ! :smiley:

Pixar.rocks - We’re discussing when we’re going to do a practice for JesusFreak, M-O, Netbug and WBoon. You’ve already done two practices so you’re all set to commentate on Toy Story. If you’d like to do this practice as well you’re welcome to do so, we haven’t finalized the date and time yet.

Oh alright ! That’s a relief… I didn’t want to miss the Toy Story commentary but i don’t think i will be able to do the practice commentary though… :confused:
So have fun guys ! :smiley:

Netbug’s favorite short is Lifted, and M-O has expressed interest in practicing on Mater and the Ghostlight.

WBoon - JesusFreak, M-O, and Netbug are available during these times: There’s three hours of time starting at 02:00 on November 5 UTC (probably too soon), one hour of time starting at 04:00 on November 7 UTC, 6.5 hours of time starting at 02:30 on November 8 UTC, and four hours of time starting at 01:00 on November 11 UTC. At what time during these time intervals can you do the practice?

Pixar.rocks and Rachel - In order to find possible times for the Toy Story commentary I need your schedules through the month of November (or at least the next 2-3 weeks).

Edit: TSS - I need your schedule for the next 2-3 weeks as well.

Aw man, I missed the practice again, didn’t I? My bad, I’ve been kinda distracted by other stuff nowadays so I didn’t really check the forums… But since I’m back now, how’bout 04:00 on November 7 UTC? I promise that I’ll definitely… try and make it. :laughing: Just playing with yall. I’ll make it or you could drop me (if it affects your schedule and all). :wink:

WBoon- Actually, as far as I know, no commentary actually happened yesterday. xD So, don’t worry about it.

Peter- Yeah, I think tomorrow might be too soon…not enough time for people to prepare. However, I think the 7th or the 8th sounds good for me. I have to go to the barn on the 7th, but I’m always back by 8:00, usually.

Also, maybe you should PM those wanting to be involved about it? That way no one forgets to confirm their schedule like last time. You don’t have to, though, it’s just a suggestion. ^^;

This is cool, I can’t wait to hear your S’porean accent, Wboon.

I agree with LightningEclipse, it would be better if Peter could PM the newbies as a reminder that this may be their final chance before Toy Story, if it’s not too much trouble.

So what short have you guys decided on? I haven’t seen Ghostlight, as much of a Cars fan I am :blush: … but I think Lifted’s pretty funny.

And I’m pretty much free these days till November 26, then I’m leaving for Sing and I’m not sure of my availability then. If any one of y’all drop out of the Toy Story commentary or you could accept one more, I’m all up for it, seeing I’m not sure if I may be able to join a commentary until next year. Plus, this will PP’s inaugural feature-length commentary and I want to be a part of it! My family may be preparing an overseas vacation again, and in addition to that, we may pay our grandparents in Penang, Malaysia, a visit. Of course, priorities go to the substitutes first. :wink:

I really hope we can get Toy Story done before December! This has been gestating for a month or two already. To quote Linguini, “Let’s do this thing!” :smiley:

Oh yeah, I forgot! Umm, I’m okay with any short, really. However, I’m leaning towards Lifted, because that’s one I actually have on DVD, so it’d be a little easier for me to get a hold of. It’s not really my practice commentary though, so I’ll let you guys decide.

Everyone, I’d like to make it official that the next practice commentary is at 04:00 on November 7 UTC (which is a little more than two days from now).

Lightning Eclipse and thedriveintheatre - I’ll send out those PMs.

Peter - That time would be fine by me, but I’m not even sure whether I should participate in another practice session because I’d like to give others (Netbug, WBoon etc) a chance to speak and practice. But I’ll think about it… if I don’t turn up, don’t worry about my whereabouts. And I’ll PM you my upcoming schedule within the next few days.

So, have we decided which short we’ll be doing yet? I don’t mean to sound pushy, but the practice IS tomorrow, after all…<< >>
