Thread: Lucid Dreaming Documentery?

i think it is a great idea
as an fyi there is a documentary out
called Wake Up! Exploring the Potential of Lucid Dreaming
it has some famous LDers in it.

http://www.lucitopia.com/wakeup/

perhaps that can be one inspiration?

Nice find. I don't have the money to buy it, but it looks good. Anyway, if you like it, can you please make a video? You can also add a section where you say whatever you want at the end if you would like.

Hey, I didn't know you still needed help on this documentary! I'd love to join in if you don't mind - I've got me a working camera and some good editing software if you need me to do some clippin' and such.

A few questions, though they may already be answered in the topic:
1. What questions are left that need video-responses?
2. Would you like us to just upload them to YouTube, where you can use something to download them, or would you like them linked to you directly from some hosting site?
3. Would you like any audio recordings, just to overlay images over? Are you going to use the actual video along with the audio that we send, and have images over some parts, or will it all be audio with images of sites and pictures, but making no use of the video portion of the files?

I'll check back here often.

I could offer my services, I just need to know whats left to be done, like what questions etc. I am sort of a beginner though, but then again I could relate to the audience then. Oh, and I have an Aussie accent!

Ill make a video with a mask, so you cannot see my face.

I'm envisioning a 2 hour documentary of people sleeping lmao

There's a reason for stereotypes lol

Haha, like bumper stickers that say, "Are You Dreaming?" I'd like to drink from a DV cup, actually.

Because I'm not seeing anything that says what videos people are working on, and I want to get started on my videos, here are the questions I will make contributions toward:

Why do you have lucid dreams?
Can you describe some lucid dreams you've had?
What are some steryotypes about lucid dreaming that annoy you? (drug use, satonic, ect.)
How can you lucid dream (DILD, WILD, ect?)

Obviously this means all of these questions are still up for others to help answer, since I don't know enough to make complete answers for each and every one, but I will start on these questions and make the best videos I can for each.

A few questions, though they may already be answered in the topic:
1. What questions are left that need video-responses? All of them
2. Would you like us to just upload them to YouTube, where you can use something to download them, or would you like them linked to you directly from some hosting site? Both, if possible. SO I can see it before I download it, and not lose any quality from youtube in the process.
3. Would you like any audio recordings, just to overlay images over? Are you going to use the actual video along with the audio that we send, and have images over some parts, or will it all be audio with images of sites and pictures, but making no use of the video portion of the files?
I'll have both. Just record in video, I'll extract the audio if I need to.
I'll check back here often.

Responses in red.

Try to answer as many of the questions as you can. OH, and an Aussie accent would be cool, too.!

As long as it doesn't make you look like a klu klux klan member or something else offensive. this mask generally means "I'm anonymous, but I don't want to force you into buying one. Any paper/plastic mask would work.

God, I love that movie.

I haven't seen it, but the mask has a certain amount of fame on the internet.

If you've taken interest in this, please post. I would really like to get this done by July, so I'm going to need video soon.

I'm interested and working on videos right now! I'll try to get some results by end of the month. You'll hear a PM from me if I've got videos up for you.

To be in this documentary do you want people who are experienced lucid dreamers, or people who are learning aswell?
I think it would be cool to get a range of views

I wouldn't mind helping you and make a few videos of myself talking, though I've only ever experienced about 4 real lucid dreams before, I am still in a learning process. I ctalk about how I became interested in Lucid dreaming, why i think people should do it, how to go about learning, ect. ?

I'm taking A-levels in Intereactive and Multi-Media, graphics, directing, editing ect. Cinema 4D can create some AMAZING effects. I've seen a lot of the University students i know creating some absolutely un real creations with it. Perhaps some peoples lucid dream and idea's for lucid dreams could be brought to life using these amazing programs to attract people into lucid dreaming and make it look so much more realistic.

That would be awesome. Please. I'll get the dream segments for you to animate when I have all the other material.

I just to the computer I am going to use for editing, so we should be good to go when we get video.

Does DV Even have a youtube channel? :3

I have send some video clips to my friend via free service called Dropbox. You can upload up to 2GB to it.

Sounds interesting project. Wish I had more time. Is there a dead line for the videos? (I just browsed this thread through quite fast, so if it's mentioned somewhere, I missed it).

Deadline is nonexistent. I would be awesome to get videos in by the end of July, though.

Would love to contribute. I've got a decent camera and good microphone, so quality shouldn't be too bad. I'll try to upload it by the end of next week. I hope you don't mind sifting through a little rambling though because once I get started on lucid dreaming, I talk forever.

Surprise, got some videos for you, YYNYM! I'll get them online this weekend if I can get stronger internet than what I'm currently running (tonight if some miracle occurs).

Awesome! Anytime would be great.

You got it, I'll get to work! *salute*

*salute back*
