And this sounds very interested. Don't know if I'll participate, but i'm still thinking..
Use any source you'd like. Heck, toss in some stuff that's not anime, if you'd like.

I am not looking for anything in particular. This is very free-form - just come up with an idea and execute it.

If you get an idea for a segment of a polka, just make it and let me know when it's done. No large commitment, no efects requirements... make the videos as simple or as complicated as you want.

im thinking Big O.. and An amv creators Head.... hmmmm...

I don't feel like typing them all out but you can find them under disography on this page. Just click on the album and fine the polka song (some don't have one, though)

Hey, if you're still taking editors for this, I'd be interested.

Problem with the project. . .if you tell people to just create to whatever track they want then won't that potentially create the problems of

a) Too many people did one song
b) Some parts of a polka have no video at all
Leaving portions of the middle of a song empty

Considering how these songs flow wouldn't this be highly problematic?

Strangely enough, I kinda want to see this happen. An extra dose of randomness. But it may get annoying if too many segments end up with the same part.

As an additional point of interest, considering the openendedness of the idea and the far-off due date, this project has the potential to becom King Kong-ly huge. Should there be atleast a copule of guidlines, or are we going to be complete nonconformists? I'm a nihilist, so, you know, either way.

BTW, I'm in.

I believe this is covered by:
