Original Post:

I originally posed this idea in my video that I posted in the VI section of the forum, but I didn't really get as much response as I wanted to, so I wanted to bring this up in the general section in case it was the placement of the thread that affected its visibility. I was talking about how I thought the best way to type someone on the forum might be through the video medium, and maybe if we can start to gain a good consensus on certain forum members' type from the videos, we could assemble some sort of gallery or collection of sorts that we can refer members in general to observe certain types or information elements/functions being used.

We could possibly pose questions in a form of a thread and have members record video responses to these questions, focused on identifying what information element is being used in what function. I figure they would be a more "hands-on" experience for the forum, since the only other way would be to host something on Stickam, or actually meet-up, both being rather hard to set up.

I don't really see anything inherently wrong with this idea, unless there's just no interest for it, but I know there might be details I'm overlooking. Like, how to decide if someone is "fit" to model, or if it should be limited to responses from community members that the community widely agrees on a typing or not. I'm hoping that this might catch the interest of other people and can bounce ideas to make this a realistic and plausible idea to actually put into action, so definitely share your thoughts about this, especially if you have the means to make videos
