Hello, all!
I have been wanting to try out a game of exquisite corpse for quite some while now, and I'm sure I'll find people to collaborate with here at DV. 
For those of you who do not know what Exquisite Corpse is, it is essentially an artistic collaboration between two or more people who usually have little or no knowledge of what the other(s) is/are doing. They only exchange enough information to enable themselves to fuse their work seamlessly.
Haha, I've never been good at explaining things, so here is the Wikipedia entry, which will hopefully clear things up.
The beauty of Exquisite Corpse is that it can be applied to all kinds of forms of self-expression: visual art, poetry, music, film -- you name it!
Here is a wonderful example of people using the Exquisite Corpse technique in visual art.
While browsing around some website I came upon this:
in animation, they will often give a single frame (i.e. a drawing of a character) to several different animators and then give them 30 seconds to animate whatever they want to happen to that character, so long as it starts and ends in the same point. then all the different pieces are strung together creating something that no single person would ever have imagined. it's a great way to create something new. [/b]
Now, I don't know about the 30 second thing, but this is certainly something I'd want to try.
This will probably be a stick figure animation in .gif (I'm Flash-retarded), and nothing too serious.
Anyways, feel free to post any ideas/concerns you have and to look for collaborators in other mediums if you reeeaaally don't wanna work with me! 
Cheers!
