Title: The Small Things

General idea: The characters could talk about the little things they do around them that don’t change the world in big ways but are beneficial for people in general (and also maybe for themselves?)

Examples: Bossuet could talk about the fact that they often stop and talk to strangers when they’re sad, Combeferre volunteers in an hospital when zie got time, Grantaire regularly gives food/money to homeless kids?, etc?

Title: Role Models

General Idea: Enjolras' touched on this a bit in previous videos, but this round would be a chance for every character to share a person who has had an impact on their lives. 

Character examples: Combeferre could talk about Carl Sagan, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, or another scientist. Enjolras could talk about the person who inspired her to become a revolutionary such as Sylvia Rivera and the stonewall rioters or another famous revolutionary, Grantaire could talk about a famous street artist (NOT banksy) or conversely, Remi Gaillard or someone equally as silly, etc.

Title: Your Dream Job

General Idea: The characters will talk about what would be their dream job if they could have any. Some would be serious and some would be ridiculous.

Character examples: Musichetta could want to be a food tester or food critic which could be serious or funny. Grantaire could want to be a talk-show host and get paid to talk and rant and encourage people to argue with each other.

I was thinking that maybe in future videos the actors could do a Q&A video where they answer their viewers questions. Like for example at the end of a round of videos they can all ask their viewrs to leave questions asking them about Les Amis de l’ABC or about themselves on the comments section.

it’s not much of a big deal but in one of the most recent videos (grantaire’s i think) there was some cissexist language used (‘boys and girls’). if it’s part of a story line where idk r becomes more careful with language/another character calls that kind of language out feel free to ignore this, it’d just be nice if everyone was a bit more careful with that kind of thing.

I discovered the project by accident yesterday and one of the videos spoke to me on a spiritual level and actually helped me deal with/explain some issues I've been having so thanks A++ acting and A++ writing. (It's a Joly video if you're wondering)

You’ve probably been asks this before, but I saw that Grantaire had a video where he sort of explained how he met the Amis and his feelings regarding them. I was wondering if you were planning to do one for Enjolras? More specifically his feelings regarding the Amis and especially Grantaire?

Btw, this project is amazing and the actors are all amazing, keep up the fantastic work!

I’ve been loving the videos. But I wish there were more of a plot running throughout. The strength of the series is the characters and their relationships. I’d love to see more like the most recent series of Enjolras and Grantaire videos, where they play off of one another and you see how they interact like real friends/whatever-they-are would. Even beyond the Courf-meets-Marius and Combeferre-meets-Courf paintball story, I want to hear them all talk about hanging out last weekend, with different characters talking about how they see same events. I want to see what they’re up to now, and then watch them grow and change and develop.

I think my favorite videos are actually the two non-round Courfeyrac videos (the one where Courf reads the letter from Combeferre and the one where the two of them are hanging out), because you get that immediacy. 

I know this is a huge writing and editing challenge, but it would also be cool if there were split screen videos done up like Skype calls where a couple of characters were talking to one another.

(Also because it has to be said, Joly is the most adorable.)

This round has been amazing so far! I've loved this project since the beginning, but this round really clicked. Great job everyone!

I absolutely adore this! The only thing I can really think of is maybe some more response to everyone else's videos? This round has really picked up on that, and it's really great! But keeping the interaction between les amis videos would make it even better. :)

I think the series has really hit its stride now. The first few rounds were really good, but a little shaky. Its all coming together now with the individual characters really shining through.
