I imagine it should be a challenge and a pleasure at the same time. If there is anything I can help with, please let me know. My take on Mu's point was more philosophical; the idea of cooperation is often lost in the shuffle. I think it would be great if we could all get on the bus, but look at my challenge to the Los Angeles Machinima Collective - did anyone respond? No. It takes time and relationships to build before this can happen, I think. But, Mu's dead right about doing it together. Simply on a practical level, the production work need to do a good machinima really requires a team of people. That's why I've been offering my work to select groups in order to develop relationships and learn how to work on a team. But, I think you guys already know all this.

Good things will happen the more we find ways to do so, that's for sure. There is definitely truth and wisdom in a “Come Together” mindset right now.

I like the idea, but don't think we're at the point where we NEED to do it. Though I wonder if that might make it the very best time to do it. Perhaps solidifying our front before the big push into the mainstream.
