Now today's post is by no means meaningful or even makes sense, but I have to provide you eager readers some entertainment, so here goes my rants :)
First off I'd like to share with you , in my opinion, one of the funniest music videos ever made. Mr Oizo – Flat Beat.
Now not only does the song itself sound like a drunk bee ricocheting off a glass screen, but it features a strange scratching noise that could only have involved a rubber band, a needle and a dead cat.
The video features a yellow teddybear (puppeteered) in an office, signing documents , while sitting at an desk with huge speakers. He dials a number then holds the receiver up to the speakers while he headbangs so wildly it looks like his head is going to come off any second. Oh and he smokes weeners. Classic. Watch it!
While Im really happy that you liked the preview, sadly it was just that. I was bored and decided to experiment with decor and characters and that was the result. In any case, Im back at uni on Monday, so its unlikely that im going to trade lying next to the pool and seeing all my friends for sitting behind a pc trying to get a Sim to look beyond the camera :P
BUT I'm making finishing touches (read: still have one minute of film to shoot) on the Escape movie. I'll post it the second its done , I promise. And to reply on Alex's question (the real guy, not the sim) ....I use music at this point (from Muse, who else hahahaha) but later on I might try and find some sort of microphone.
The drawback just being that Im a perfectionist so that's why everything has to be polished and preened endlessly before people can see it. With characters I'll have to audition my friends (who already agreed on it) for voices, and possibly do one myself. But I have stage fright and don;t like my voice an awful lot. So that'l have to wait.
Maybe start a global project where people from all over lend their voices to a single movie. That would be awesome, don't you think? Currently, we have people from South Africa, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the United States. If anyone knows someone from say, Australia/Asia/Mexico/England , please let me know. And if you want to pitch ideas/storylines anything, post a comment! How do we plan this?
