Put me down as one more vote for the WVF thread. I prefer to do my updates as videos, rather than photos.
Here's the latest:

I think I someone wave from th coobse.
Yes, that's the way I had hoped it would work if it was to fly. "Sumbuddy" starts it off.
Well, the idea was modestly well received, and there isn't a rule saying it must be run each week. So, when it runs, it runs.
Maybe I'll get to work and start of the another one to seed it.

LOL, it would take someone to start it each week, as people do with WPF. I guess video's take soo much longer to set up and produce, and less people have the ability to make them. Shame but understandable.

Just be glad you don't have to press "2" for English.

You guys have my vote for a WVF too, though as of right now, there's a glitch between Win7-64 and my graphics card, so I can't watch or upload to the internet easily...

Thanks, Eric, Wolfgang, Blue. I'll try one of these as soon as I find where I stored the vid.

Steamage, I enjoyed your video very much! Short and sweet, well lit, taken with a good camera. In focus. Just like a good photo, except it has sounds and movement. I love it!
Mark, the idea is to start with a fresh batch every week, just as we do with the photos. And I agree that short videos are going to hold my interest better than ones running for two or more minutes. If a photo can tell a story, I would think a 30 second video should be able to do it just as well, even better.
That's just my opinion, and I feel strongly that people should post whatever length of videos they want to. Let each of us decide how long we will watch any of them.
Nothing cast in concrete....we're still trying it on for size.
I like the idea although I would keep WPF as Weekend Photo Fun for the days it already has Fri. - Mon. and the have WVF as Weekly Video Fun and set it up for Mon. - Thurs. In addition I would not restrict videos from being posted on the WPF.
I like seeing videos, but some of them are just too long. I also enjoy hearing some of the sound equipped locos. The only problem I have with some of them is the rather random blowing of the horns.

Crandell, here is my answer to your original question-
Run it for a few weeks and see if it holds water {er, uh...trains}.
I personally don't want to wacth to many videos as I get bored with them fast especially if they are long vids of the same train going round and round {though I love to watch my trains go round and round for hours}. I tend to skip them int he WPF, and only look at the pics.
But there may be a market for it, One never knows when one posts a thread how it will be recieved until posted.
Good luck in your new adventure!

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.
Brunton Why are there all these draconian rules about WPF, and the proposed WVF? "It will open at such-and-such a time." "It will close and be locked at such-and-such a time." I guess the threads will be locked if you violate any of these apparently arbitrary rules. Why not just let these run their course like any other threads?

Naw, I don't think anybody is going to lock anything. The idea is to start with a fresh thread every week, otherwise it goes on forever, makes it tough to see what is new.

I enjoyed that clever editing of the sound, Jim, and you have a nice video, despite the camera. I thought it performed quite well, though.
I think a video thread is a swell idea. Here's one I whipped up. It was shot using my phone, so sorry if video quality ain't what it could be.

Sure what's it gonna hurt. It may take off. Like someone said, it won't cost any extra. If it sits low and stagnant, then the people just won't start a new one. I personally don't care as I have not felt like I have anything to post picture wise yet, and it may be years before I even get a video camera. Let alone film my layout that may or may not be....filmable even by then. So, have at it. What'll it hurt?

Sure. Now that a lot more people are doing video, might be a good idea to split the topics.
