Boring
May 21st, 2009 | filed under: Uncategorized | I thought this was an awesome comic. :P
A few weeks ago I did a slideshow of the best pictures from this year to show at the formal. I found out that I didn’t have as many group or happy pictures that I wanted (I certainly had enough pictures of sports), but everything worked out okay. I also think that I overdid the sad factor a little too much. The last slideshow that I did was for a week of senior high camp, and the idea there was to make them really happy at the beginning, then go to the sad stuff and try to make everyone cry. ;-) This concept worked well at camp, with the slideshow being the last scheduled thing before everyone goes home.
I think that the exciting-to-melencholy outline for slideshows is still good, but at the formal, I don’t think that it worked as well as at camp. After the slideshow was queen entertainment, which is supposed to be funny. Having some really sad stuff beforehand might have been weird. I’m probably overanalyzing it, but for next time I think that I’ll keep the happy-to-sad method, but make the sad part a little shorter and less intense.
And here are the videos by song:

Best caption that I’ve seen, ever (unless I’m forgetting one). Have a great day! It’s so nice today in Searcy. :)
Here’s the incorrectly labeled “blooper reel” from the previous post that is actually more like outtakes, but I didn’t care to fix it. ;-)
All in all, the “Like a Beau” video was a ton of fun to do. It was my first experience script-writing and brainstorming for lines, even though it was a parody, making it a lot easier. I have also concluded that making things slightly amiturish works a lot better than making the video more professional. I think that if we did a retake on the first introduction scene, redid (or actually) used the scenes toward the end that were according to plan/script. The awkwardness is a lot funnier than an almost-perfectly acted video, and it’s easier to do, since acting is hard. Just a thought.
