Teletopez Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 I was supposed to post this a couple months ago, and since I'd rather feel like I'm doing something productive by posting this rather than doing my work this late at night, I'll share the idea now. With the help of Andre, Brandon, and Lkr, the OTR YouTube account has established an enormous library of highlights from basketball games dating back to the 2008 NBA Playoffs. I hope that members find this library to be a handy resource in the future, whether it's using the library as a reference for significant moments as members post on this message board or simply browsing through Brook Lopez highlights to see how awesome he is. However, for multiple reasons, I am suggesting a new direction our YouTube account can take, one that can allow many more in the community to become involved in the videos that go up on the channel. The idea, which is only in it's early stages, deals with giving our members the opportunity to share their opinions and thoughts via video as the season progresses. What I have in mind is inviting dedicated members to start a series of their own videos, which would be shared at intervals convenient for them through the season, sending me those videos to add to a playlist under their username in our video library. This can potentially be a major recruiting tool, as we aim to bring in intelligent fans and add to our active community through the 2010-2011 season. So, at this point, I am simply looking for your thoughts on the idea and whether members are interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Tzu Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 This is a really good idea. I'm not sure if I'll be able to participate by making a video but if there's anything else I could help with I may be interested in helping. But I'm all for the idea, I think it could get us a lot of members who come here looking for great dicussions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooh25 Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 I am interested in helping out OTR. I used to have about 650-800 subscribers on my old channel and it somehow got suspended by Youtube because I put "one" clip of the NFL on it... I make videos about once a month about the Chicago Bulls and the first video I made in a LONG time is reaching 10,000 - 15,000 views when I have been gone from the mix-making world for 6 months.

Owner Real Deal Posted October 23, 2010 Owner Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Anyone else interested in doing this? I'm not sure how many of you would want to do it, but I think it's a really, really good idea, to give everyone an opportunity to create videos and upload them to OTR's account.

Teletopez Posted October 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Keep in mind that there are already several hundred subscribers for the channel not even registered on OTR that would be seeing these videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teletopez Posted April 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 I thought I'd bump this for the playoffs. The channel hasn't had anything uploaded this season, but if any of you want to PM me a video anywhere from two minutes long to ten minutes long on anything playoffs-related, I can post it on the OTR channel. It gets your opinion plenty of views, and it hopefully draws some more activity to OTR through the playoffs and draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
