Collaborator Follow-Up

Wow, I’ve got some really creative contacts out there. It comes as no surprise, but makes me realize I need to reach out more and tap into this network of creators more often.

As you can read below, I put out a signal looking for creators, thinkers and makers. And that is exactly what I got.

Now I just need to figure out what to do with these ideas. And figure out how I can help make some of them happen so we can put them up and feature them on The Co-Pilot.

I got people wanting to make iPhone apps.

People wanting to make short films. Others who want to collaborate musically, trading beats and lyrics across the Pacific Ocean and creating a transcontinental sound.

I’ve got people with killer microsite ideas that if we could pull off would set the internet aflame I tell ya! Other people had stunt/performance art ideas that they wanted to carry out, and document for display. I got some photographers and artists pitching ideas for different series of work. Someone even wanted to put out a line of belts (and fannypacks! lol)

It kind of painted a nice picture of the state of creativity today.

It got a little new media, it got very digital. And it is all intriguing as all hell.

I have to find ways to bring these projects to life. Some of them are too good to stay in a state of ‘great idea tapped out in an email.’

Now comes an exercise in follow-through.

Will we be able to find the flash designer who can execute the idea for a microsite?

Will we be able to get an iPhone developer onboard and creating some apps for us?

May set up a ‘creative craigslist’ type listing system to fill out our wants and needs. ‘Seeking Flash Designer to make experimental game.’ ‘Seeking photographer to shoot portraits of futsal players…’ etc.

Thanks to everyone who wrote in with ideas! Keep them coming. I will always be willing to accept some fresh, burning ideas that are out there. They fire me up and get me thinking about how to get them done.

The creative odyssey of The Co-Pilot begins today.

We have a long, long ways to go.
