Say you got a hold of a Flip (HD) camera and could use it for one week (for FREE) — what would you shoot?  Would you document every waking hour (besides the time for transferring your footage and trips to the John)?  Would it be of your new puppy?  How about taping it to a bookshelf (you know, hidden or disguised as a one-eyed puppet) and surveying what goes on in the living room while only your roommate is home?  Although fun, these aren’t quite the purposes we were thinking of.

What about along the lines of “a day in the life”?  You wake up, you go to class: you work hard.  Then, there is rehearsal: again, you work hard.  Then, there’s the paying  j.o.b: you’re tired, but you still work hard.  What if you could share this with the world?  Frightening?  Invasive?  We think it would be exciting!

BDA has six minoFlip HD cameras (4 GB/ 1 hour) that we want to share with you so that you can share with the community.  We want to highlight you doing what you do.  You can choose to record as little or as much as you would like.  Your stroll to rehearsal, your ride on the T, signing in at the desk, entering the studio, talking with your dancers (or if you are the dancer, listening to your choreographer), rehearsing, etc.  We would then take your footage, edit it to about 2-3 minutes, post it and highlight it on our website.  One person a week.  Your 15 minutes of fame will last an entire week.  Think about that!  Free publicity for YOU.  Web content for us.  You would (of course) have access to the edited footage to use any way you please.

So, we are THINKING of starting this in January.  Would you be in?  How would you use it?  We want your feedback.  Comment below and let us know what you think!
