Gashlycrumb Tinies in the Can

It took a lot more preparation, planning, and shooting time than expected, but last night we got the Gashlycrumb Tinies footage shot. I have not had a chance to look at the footage yet, but am very glad with how the shooting went and am hopeful we have something good recorded. I want to extend a very special thank you to:

Una � Who put up with costume fittings, planning meetings and gave us an amazing Cello performance. Una, you looked great and sounded marvelous, if the recording looks half as good as the performance was we will be very fortunate.

Laura � Who did an amazing job with costuming, hair and makeup.

Gretchin � Who did everything from lighting, to camera work to putting up with sitting on the hot chair for prolonged periods of time while we tweaked lights one way and another.

Mari � Who gave me some great voice coaching.

and specially to…

Sven � Who did… well… everything… Three times.

There is still a lot of work to do before the project is done. The video and audio have to be digitized, analyzed, cleaned, cut, composited and edited. I have a feeling I will be asking for more help before this project is done, but the largest task is behind us. No matter what the final looks like, I can honestly say I have enjoyed the project and most of all I have learned a hell of a lot.

If you have not taken the time to do so yet, you really should go visit the Subservient Chicken (sponsored by Burger King). After you have gotten to know the chicken, use Google to search for some of the chicken actions or visit the Twiki Subservient Chicken Request List.

I just got my button to extend 3 Gmail invitations out to friends. Chad at work has already asked for one. Who wants the other two?

Update 6/22/04:
Two infvites went out and more became available. In the spirit of gmail swap I would love to swap out the last few invites. Anyone want to help me with designing a logo? Or send me a postcard for an invite?

I enjoyed reading Mari’s answers to these questions and thought I would try it out as well.
