Well it's from 2009. I'm rather new myself so I'm not sure how many of these members are still active and what not. Would be fun to do though

Hey now, rumors of my demise are greatly exaggerated. I'm in it several times.
Since it's been 6 years, lets redo it. Update some of the verbage (like brewed the hardway lol) and display some of the crazy advances and various technologies (I didn't see BIAB, plate chillers, etc etc.).
Inspired.
I filmed my lines on 4th of July. I've been wearing the same black tshirt with the US Flag on the front on 4th of July for at least 20 years. I'm wearing it in one of the lines in the video.

I'd get rid of the "I don't put corn / rice in my beer" lines. That was a little too much I thought.
The guy who edited it all, james, is still around. I corresponded with him about a month ago (he's not active here anymore though).
I've still got editing software from a career ago. Lets make it happen! :cross:

I'm game, as long as no one makes fun of my accent
Thanks for volunteering to ringlead it!
To make it work, you first need a theme, then a script, then storyboard the video (might not be necessary if all the members are just reading lines). Based on the script, you'll know about how many members you will need contributing (in the original, each person had 2 or 3 lines).
Then solicit members. Expect about half of the volunteers to fail to actually do their part by the deadline - you'll need overlap with the lines. Give each volunteer about 10 lines and ask them to read all of them in a few different locations, preferably outdoors or other well-lit scene, with brewing stuff in the picture.
Create and stand by a drop-dead date for uploads. Lines that are not received by then will need to be done by the editor.
Create a public repository (Dropbox) for people to upload their content. Each person should have their own, without access to the others.
Take all the content, and start the big job of putting it all together and polish polish polish.
Add additional audio (music). Audio can make or break a video.

Great video! This was my first time seeing it.
Is there really a need for a sequel. Sometimes a classic is best as a stand alone piece. My 2c

Sounds like a plan! Consider it done, and initial planning through the weekend.
Right, a new one shouldn't be too similar, don't want comparisons. So, not a sequel. Something entirely different. Not sure what. Thoughts?

Completely agreed - my initial thought is an artistic approach of grain to bottle... Set to music perhaps?... Not so much a how to brew but rather an inspirational piece highlighting the diversity of our methods, the richness of our character, and love for beer...
I like it.
If you get a few minutes, take a look at beer commercials on youtube. Stuff like that is inspiring and will give you ideas. I've got company coming tonight, but I'll try to come up with some ideas for you.
Did you see the article I recently wrote about the homebrewing culture? Maybe there's something you can use in there.

Got it!

Was the original video by any chance an advertisement for homebrewtalk.com?
Nope. It was 100% member created, with no other impetus but joie de vivre. You can see the genesis of the video here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=115846
[edit] you might skim through that thread there. You'll see how it developed.
Ah! I've seen it
I'm thinking more along the lines of this..:

Ha! Can't believe this is still alive. My favorite thing about this video is still all the spoofs that spun off. I still have sex with my beer.
Just watched it again. Too bad I didn't have the powershot back then, it's like 620P. Good video just the same. Would've been cool to be involved in...
