LAST CALL FOR CONTENT! reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- gnu2tux · 2020-11-20 20:02 The new BBS documentary (working title: 'Back to the BBS: A return to being online'), is half way through editing stages. I have recently received a bit of interest from outliers. That were unaware that it was happening. The production is looking really good so far and there is plenty of content, but if you think you have something to add that would entice users along then please get in touch ASAP. Especially if you have input/experience as a creator or user of BBS games (the more modern the better), mods or ANSI graphics. Other stuff accepted too. These are interview forms, but if you have video caps or stills of stuff then that is also good as I am still using stock footage. Cheers! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Scoth42 · 2020-11-20 21:20 I was born in 1980 and did plenty of BBSing as a kid, almost entirely games. I mostly quit around 1994 when the internet became a thing. Id be happy to offer what I can. I can also capture some footage of the actual games I played, since they're still widely available. There's a lot of unique aesthetics to them. Might be better than stock footage. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RobotPreacher · 2020-11-20 22:37 My first paid gig as a graphic designer was designing ANSI graphics for a local BBS when I was around 13 -- made $50 bucks if I recall :) This let me to becoming a graphic designer and ultimately a web designer and filmmaker. I also met my first "girlfriend" (only saw her twice in person I think) in the chat room of a local BBS when I was 13 :) I'd be down to share more if any of that was interesting content for the doc. As for newer stuff, I have no idea and would be absolutely no help! Sounds like a fun doc though, good luck and can't wait to see it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- gnu2tux · 2020-11-21 00:24 That would be great! Let me know if you can! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- gnu2tux · 2020-11-21 00:26 Your story is very similar to mine! I have deliberately not made it self induglent tho, so if you want to have an interview, let me know ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Scoth42 · 2020-11-21 00:52 What kind of recordings would be useful? Commentated gameplay, just footage of them being played, something else? I don't have a huge amount of experience in streaming/recording/editing but I figure you have the editing experience to turn it into useful stuff if I can get some basics recorded. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- gnu2tux · 2020-11-21 01:52 Footage of them being played is good. Feel free to overlay commentary and I can always dub it in post process. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AtariBBS · 2020-12-05 02:45 Southernamis.com
