Video shooting is COMPLETE!

[annathepiper]

I’d call this a Special Edition Jam Report, except we didn’t actually Jam. Still, though, we had a good number of the Murkjammers present today for the conclusion of our video shooting for our submission to the Great Big Sea Karaoke Contest! In addition to solarbird and myself, we had mamishka, sutures1, and technoshaman, with surprise bonus tereshkova2001 as Jareth the Goblin King!

Dara has been a GODDESS for this effort, people. I had a few initial ideas for the script, sure, but the visual and sound and general arrangement of shots, not to mention the technical work of actually shooting said shots with her digital camera? That’s ALL been on her. Really, my contribution to this whole shebang has pretty much ‘sing lead and yoink video snippets into iMovie’.

Many thanks must also be given to Meems for primary wardrobe contribution, in order to build a shot which will remain unidentified until the video goes live. But trust me, you’ll know the shot when you see it. ;> Ellen and Glenn also contributed a few wardrobe bits, as did sksouth. Separate kudos to Glenn for shooting assistance both yesterday and today, and Ellen and Meems and Glenn all together for prop and script wrangling!

spazzkat has also come through marvelously, both with initially pointing me at iMovie as the tool to use to pull all this together, AND with building us credits in Flash that I can plug in at the tail end of the video.

And finally, thanks to Torrey for going to the trouble to costume up very nicely for what will be a pretty short shot, in the eventual shipping product.

Now comes the editing like mad in iMovie! We’ll get this done as fast as we can, y’all, and we look very much forward to showing you the final video!

Oh, no problem at all. I had fun, and really, once I've done all the work making the costume, wearing it is the fun payoff.

Looking forward to the final result!

Hey, even though we didn't specifically Jam per se, we did in fact Sing, and we even had instruments in our hands! We have proof of this! :) And it was a ton of fun, especially that last on-location shot... :)

And don't sell yourself short; you've *acted* (the whole Broadway schtick is faboo :), you've caught plotholes, and you got PIE! Yummy PIE! lessee... Chocolate silk, key lime, apple, strawberry rhubarb, and lemon meringue!

But agreed that da Boid has been way above and beyond the call... director, vocal coach, lyricist, Semi-Steadicam builder and operator, script doctor, general humorist, AND singer... much with the awesome!

And Jareth.... wow. I mean, I'd seen pictures but I hadn't seen close-up....

Issaa verra cool to be part of so much awesome!

Definitely looking forward to seeing it :-) It sounds like you all had a lot of fun!

[annathepiper]

We had ridiculous amounts of fun, yeah! And even if we don't win we'll have a video we'll be proud to share with the Intarwebz. ^_^

Thanks much! Looking forward to showing it to you! :)

Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty happy with my contributions here! I'm just in AWE of everything Dara's pulled off. :D

That said, thanks! :)

And indeed, mmmmm pie mmmmmm. Pie pie pie pie pie.

I have watched it several times. One because I enjoy it and two because maybe I will count as multiple viewers. Just really fun and light . I will continue to watch.

Very belated reply as I'm trying to get caught up, but thank you for your views! :) Even if we didn't get into the contest finals.
