Hey all,

In light of recent events I feel that making a movie about e-smokers wouldn't be the worst idea. Here is where i need your help. I can interview some doctors, etc, but there are only so many esmokers here.

Let's brainstorm a list of questions that need to be answered by each participant. Should also whip up a video release form for all participants as well.

Here's what i was thinking. Everyone who wants to participate, would record a video of themselves answering all of the questions we put on the list, and whatever else they want to talk about. we can figure out a submission method if there is interest, but i don't like the quality on google, youtube, etc. I'd prefer raw files to edit together.

Throw your ideas up and i'll post more later tonight when i get home.

Comments?

these are in no particular order yet. they will be once we are happy with the list.

Here is a prelim list of questions that will be added to as needed. Don't go recording your vids yet.
1. Why do you use electronic cigarettes?
2. What does the e-cig mean to you?
3. How have E-cigs changed your life?
4. What would you do if e-cigs are banned or otherwise unavailable?
5. (for the Australians) What will you do now that e-cigs are banned?
6. How supportive are your friends and family with regard to e-smoking?
7. How long have you been using e-cigs?

somewhat.. i think i'd like to stress the social aspect a little bit more. I don't think flavor choices matter so much. why they started. How they found out. Why they still do it. How they would feel if e-cigs went away. things like that. the more important side of it really.

rapid share might work. i could probably set up a file upload portal on my site as well. let's get something in place before we even think about how to upload.

we need a solid list of questions. The submitters can talk more, but i think it needs to be a list of absolute basics.

What would the main point of the video be?
And where would you release your video?
Would it be on youtube or somthing or would it be for companys to use to promote their e-cigs, or would it be for use to help people stop smoking? What kind of videos are you hopeing people will make (appart for what we allready see on youtube) ...Could i post a video of me e-smoking on my bike saying somthing like "Hey dude i can smoke on my bike and dont have to worry about it going out" ....lol lol

Kate .... You missed out your famous polls lol


I won't be in any videos, I'm a woman of mystery ;)

Do you mean questions like what device do you like the best, how many do you have, what's your favourite flavour, how much tobacco do you still use, how did you find out about e-vaping, ... etc?

i want to make a feature length video. it won't just be all of the vids thrown together with no editing. part of this kind of work is finding the story, but sometimes that takes footage first.

I think web distribution is the best way to start once something is put together.

Part of the story i see is with the newer issues like bans. Freedom is getting thrown out the window by the antismokers. where is our voice? are we not just people as well?

i would definetly want some footage form some of the Aussies. :D

So i could start my video in my Taxi telling people how i 1st started e-smoking .... Then i could do a follow up and make a video of me serving a customer in the mall and telling about ecigs ....The 3rd part could be a small story of me telling you guys how i went from taxi driver of 16yrs to living in a log cabin selling e-cigs in Inverness :)

of course. granted not everything everyone shoots will be used, but the more footage the better.

All i will ask is that regardless of what is shot by each person, i do want the interview part done. the list, once finalized, will be the minimum, but by no means the maximum of the footage i want. Make sense?
