Do any of the mers on here live in your area? That would be a good place to start.Originally Posted by MidnightMer
I'd be willing to help write and/or edit, if you like. I was in a communications arts magnet program in middle school so I know a few things about editing.
Also, if there's a filmmaking club or something similar at your school, you could join that and make some friends there.

I would love to make a mermaid YouTube series I had thought about it a few times before but there aren't enough people here interested. :/ I started writing a book instead. But I would love to see a YouTube mermaid series.
Same here, I'd love to do a series and have a bunch of ideas but no one to do it with :/
Well, I don't know if there are any mers from here around me. But I was a part of a film club at my local tv station a few years back, I still keep in touch. The problem is that the group is small, and most of the new members don't know me. They would be useful for camera, but aside from the two or three I know personally, I don't think I could convince them. And if I did, most of the kids are younger than me by a good margin, so they wouldn't be able to act in it. I tried to pull something together 1 or 2 years ago, but I could only get 1 of them to help.
Hmm... have you considered joining a drama club? Or a school play? You might meet some willing actors that way. I wish there was more I could do to help personally!

That's okay, I wasn't expecting to come on here and have one of you magically solve my problems XD, but I am going to keep trying. One thing I have thought of is possibly getting people in because it would help them fulfill a requirement for school. It's an IB Program (I'm not sure if any of you have heard of it) thing called CAS, where you need to do a bunch of extra circulars that involve Creativity, Activity, or Service and work towards goals like taking on new challenges, and some other stuff. Do you guys think that could be a good plan, or will I just get a bunch of lazy people who are only there cause they need an activity?
Sounds like a good plan to me! And as for attracting slackers, well, you won't know unless you try, right? Good luck, and let us know when you've got something to show for it!

All of us "Want-to-Make-a-Mermaid-Show-but-Can't-Find-Anyone-to-Do-it-With" people should find some way to make our own thing together! The only problem would be figuring out how to do it when we all live so far away....Any ideas?

Though I have nothing to offer or intention to be a part of the main work, I'll try to think of a solution on how all of you can communicate and share ideas in one spot. It may take a couple days but I'm usually pretty good and getting an idea so silly that it works.
When you make the impossible become possible, that when the magic happens!

Really? That's awesome, thanks for thinking about it!
I feel like the best way to keep in touch despite living far away from each other would be for each person to have a certain role in the film-making, and each person would complete their role and then pass the unfinished work to the next person. For example, someone would write the script, and they would send it to the actors who would film it, who would send it to the editor, etc. So then the question is where we'd be able to share the work....? (I was thinking emailing, but many people aren't comfortable with sharing their email address online.)

You could always share it through a messanging app that has no limit on video time.

If anyone's interested in putting music in a YouTube series, hit me up. I'm an okay songwriter and a really good singer... at least, that's what my friends say.

Good to know. Thanks!

I'm not familiar with messaging apps.

I have things like Line and Kik. They are free, but you could also share email addresses through private messages here in the MerNetwork.I'm not familiar with messaging apps.

Hey guys! I'm one of the editors for Life as a Mermaid on YouTube. Sometimes we use music from the YouTube Audio Library and it works really well! Check it out: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
You can hear it all in the new short we just released called Mermaid Origins! Check it out!
One idea I've had for a while as a way for people to collaborate long-distance would be an anthology series, where each episode is its own story with its own cast and characters. Different groups of people can act out the episodes and the rest of the work can be shared online.
