Okay, I know this is basically a year premature, but I just wanted to see what people thought of this. I contacted Kristina beforehand and she approved of this idea.
What I'd like to do is to make a present based on what everyone on this site can do. A present for AnnaSophia which we can send to her, preferably on her next birthday in December. People here have talent- some in art, some in words, some in music, and all others. A cumulative effort to produce a gift for AnnaSophia to show her how much we appreciate her work.
I've tried to make a topic to find out what people are good at, but... well, let's just say that it hasn't been too successful. Although I'm a relatively new member, I want to be able to contribute something to the site, and to the actress it's based on.
One of the reasons why I asked this a year early is because I'm sure that this project will take a long amount of time, and people here have their own lives to lead as well. They also live in different time zones. And I wouldn't want this to take over the important things they need to do, and so if this went forward, they could work on this once a week or in the weekends or evenings or something instead of wasting a whole month away focused on the project.
My most foremost idea is to compose a personalised song, create a CD with a complete CD jacket. If we have time, I'd also like to create a music video made from clips of AnnaSophia to match the music. It might sound far-fetched and unable to do, but I have faith that all of us can see it through. With this, everyone will be able to contribute.
Please tell me what you think

You go do that, Flycat. Anyway, I've actually got the song basically covered- there are plenty of musicians in my school who would be willing to help out. And don't worry, these guys are really good and have all played in professional bands before. Yes, I am from a nerd school However the following require help: The Artwork As you may have seen before, my artwork is terrible. So I need people to help out making the CD cover look good. - The Jacket Symbols, design- generally what to have on the cover and how to make it. And let's face it, I come up with the worst ideas ever, so I'd like to leave this to people who can do it . -The Credits This part is difficult, due to copyright things and who wants to be in the credits, and whether we want our pictures in the CD jacket. I'm personally fine with it all, but there might be people who are touchy with it. -The Components What information we put on the jacket- we can put a personalised message, we can put in the lyrics of the song, the information of the performers and crew with mugshots- all that jazz. Music Video? This is a BIG job, but this would be an excellent addition to the arsenal- the real icing on the cake. I don't have anything to offer, but what I was thinking was to take clips out of AnnaSophia's movies and to form them into a movie that would fit to the song I'm going to write. Anyone who has skills with doing this would be an invaluable asset. I don't know as many people as you, so I'll need your help to find someone for this job.

I can help with the video editing and the CD jacket. I'm getting a graphic tablet soon so I can add some cool designs to it, too, hopefully.

Flycat, I'm asking people for help, and there are people who want to help, and people who don't. You don't need to help if you don't want to.
Sweet, thanks a lot guys. You're saving me a lot of grief, and I'm sure that it'll be just awesome. When we get as many people in as possible, we can start designing the actual CD covers- as in what's in it, the theme of it. And for people who aren't good with videos or artwork, throw me some themes and ideas for the song, and I'll try to incorporate as many of the best ones into it. But I need it quick, since it'll be hard for both the video-editing and CD designing people to do anything without some base to work on.
Now, it's time for me to get my lazy behind down and compose something...

Yeah, I already had that idea- I've already composed a song which can be played with her 'Keep Your Mind Wide Open' in harmony. We can put that on the CD, but I'd really prefer to make an original song.
Does anyone know what kind of music AnnaSophia likes? What kind of music would describe her best?

So, easy listening with a bit of alternative but generally outstanding vocals. Does that put it in a nutshell?

Yeah... we're not trying to just find a song that's already been made- I'm out trying to compose one, cos that's personal, and not a lot of people can do it. Anyone can go into a shop and buy a CD- no offense But yeah, it would be really awesome if you could get onto the CD jacket. What should the theme be, though?
