Fun. Lots of fun...

I was thinking about a way to make pop up comments on video. Like something I could put on the AnimeHELL site that would let people watch a HELLclip and add their own comments and stingers to the clip. little pop up balloons with or without arrows or tails that could be pointed to subjects on screen. Balloons could be placed anywhere and have a default existence time that could be increased or reduced. Maybe even add a goofy sound effects at any point(s) in the timeline. Maybe this could be done in a flash interface. When you are done you could save the annotated clip and it would be shared with everybody. Then you could have another user watch the annotated clip or add to the clip. Every time a clip is annotated it would be considered a new clip. This would allow many people to contribute to a clip. Clips would be grouped so you could watch unannotated versions or a subgroups of annotated clips. Annotated clips would be also listed as new collabrations. Set the whole thing up as a creative commons deal and give away collections of annotated clips on video disk. Yes, it wouldn't quite be like being at a show and heckling the screen with the crowd. But there is the idea of community by sharing and re-sharing the annotations with a group online. Different, but interesting. And involving. More thoughts later...
