Title: CAP Tribute Video
Post by: Brickner on March 02, 2013, 11:44:11 PM
Hey, I'm trying to make a video tribute video for CAP and I could use some good pictures for it. I'd prefer to have action photos (i.e. cadets carrying a simulated injury in a stretcher, PT) and I would really like to find some PJOC,CCOC, and Hawk Mountain pictures. If I could find enough I would like to make separate tributes. Also, I haven't decided on a song, so suggestions would be nice.

Sooo....

You want to make a video that is hardkewl, but shows things we don't normally do?

No, that's called "marketing" at best, and not meant in a positive tone.

It's a major reason we churn so many members in the first year.

I know and agree. It was meant in jest.

CCOC has a video they produce each year.

If the man wants to make a video, then there's nothing stopping him. I've seen plenty of videos on YouTube that could easily be considered stupid and pointless, but they were posted anyway. It's within the maker's judgement if they really want to make and post them, and I don't see a reason to impede. You may think they're stupid, society may think it's stupid, but there's a really easy answer: Just don't watch it. If the OP wants to make a hardkewl video for whatever purposes, then more power to him. If it causes weird fluctuations in membership or something, then they'll figure that out at a later time, and anyone who joined and stayed for a good while is just a plus.

^ Can I stop him?  No, obviously.

That doesn't make it a good idea, and these videos reflect on all of us, so there's skin in the game for anyone with a CAP ID card.
