Just watched Cocktails for Two. (Cool request, Nojoy.) Great video!

I also loved the Grinch one.

Update: My first feature film for a National History Day project.

Includes green screen effects AND my voice AND a plot AND it's pretty terrible and has a lot of Fraggle music in it, incidentally.

Now that that's pretty much done (short of presenting it and proving its historical significance which should be incredibly fun) I shall get back to more frequent request-fulfilling.

Marianne! Yo! I haven't spoken to you on MC fer... ages! Brilliant idea, setting up a site where people can watch your puppet videos. i hadn't seen much of your stuff beforehand, but I've watched a coiple on the blog and I'm really impressed- you're a very talented puppeteer! I say keep up the good work.

This isn't an update. It should've been.

I'm at the beach, and was gonna make my first On Location puppet movie. I bought a Mme. Alexander doll (Michelle Loves Kermit: It's Not Easy Being Green edition) to have touring the hotel to various Christophe Beck jazz tracks.

For one of the last scenes, I bought a little plastic boat for her to ride in the ocean.

I held the camera in one hand, and her boat in the other. The first time, a big wave comes, she goes under, comes untied, and I have to hold the camera above my head, and go under for an emergency doll and boat search and rescue mission.

The second time, I turn facing the shore, and a giant wave comes up behind me right before I get the shot. This time my camera goes completely under and, sadly, drowns.

It would've been a great movie.

If I can salvage the digital tape out of my camera corpse and find some way to get it back in the computer, I'll put up the accidental footage of the first search and rescue mission. Language not for the kids.

Saaaaad!

You should have a funeral for your camera....and film it.

 

[Kiki]

Aww, sorry to hear about you camera. It sounds like a really good idea though, I hope you can get the footage onto the computer so you can show us.

I would but he's so mad right now I'm sure he'd refuse to see the humor in the situation.

Also thanks Kiki, I trust you got my email.

Yep, I'm still not so sure why it didn't work last time, though. I shall use my hotmail instead of my school's. Expect to get a reply fairly soon. Sorry 'bout the muffining.
