Samantha Carter Video Needs You!
Hi everyone!
With apologies for the cross-post, and permission to forward on where you think Sam fans might wish to see it...
A few years back now I was part of a project showing our appreciation for Janet, and thanking Teryl for all her work on Stargate, by showcasing everything we loved about the character in a music video featuring contributions from many of her fans. The finished video was played at Wolf's SG8 and seemed to go down well!
Jumping back to the present, and we're a few months away from another fabulous Gabit weekend with Amanda Tapping - AT3! This being the first of these events to occur since the final episodes of Stargate SG-1 aired, what better time than to showcase everything we have loved for ten years about Samantha Carter?! This has been discussed with some of Gabit's fantastic staff, and subject to final approval once the video is made I am sending this e-mail out now with their blessing.
So, what is the project and how does it work?
The idea is that a video is made using scenes chosen by as many different people as possible, to go with text saying something they have loved about Sam. Since illustration by example is probably the easiest way, the Janet video can be found here:

Obviously for Sam we're looking at more of a celebration than a tribute! But the principle is the same. It may also be possible to include a section about what we're looking forward to (or have already been enjoying!) in Atlantis, so do feel free to include ideas in that direction.
To make this work, I need your help! And this is not in any way exlusive to those attending the event, everyone is welcome to contribute! So, it'd be great if as many people as possible contacted me with the following information:
1) Your name and location (country)
2) What you would like to say about Sam (character trait or similar)
3) Your top three choices of Stargate scene to illustrate this point.
I will then compile as many of your contributions as possible into the video, with text subtitles with what you tell us in (1) and (2) put over one of your scene choices from (3). Obviously we don't want to be repeating ourselves, so try to be as original as you can!! And do keep in mind when you write your submissions that the text needs to fit on the video, without obscuring the picture underneath. Please don't make it too long!
The information should be sent to: laura@laurajo.net (Please do not send replies to any of the lists this goes out on!!)
The closing date for submissions is Thursday, February 14 2008. That gives you a couple of weeks in which to think and send me your ideas.
So get thinking! With your help this can hopefully be a great celebration of a fantastic character.
Thank you!
