how perfectly swell: matthew prins (or matt prins, or thew, or...oh, you don't care) alone with his stupidity
List de "Ernest."
Updated list of all I need:
Sound: Snare drum hit (found online)
Sound: Lowish hand-chime strike (timpani might work, as well)
Sound: "Hey Vern" from Jim Varney (online, perhaps?)
Sound: "Eeeewwww" from Jim Varney (online, perhaps?)
Video: Not-so-great-looking bar (2s [2 seconds])
Video: Shot glass (2s)
Video: Someone's mouth opening and closing relatively quickly (think Phil Madeira in "Smug" video) (4s)
Video: Arm staying still on black (or other neutral) (4s)
Video: Long tracking shot of stars in the sky (no moon allowed) (10s)
Video: Long tracking shot of dark clouds (no moon allo...well, obvously) (10s)
Video: Map of Maquoketa (4s)
Video: Map of Falkland Islands (4s)
Video: Spray paint being sprayed (left to right) (2s)
Video: Spray paint being sprayed (right to left -- or a different left to right, which I can invert) (2s)
Video: Spinning pineapple (5s)
Video: Tree (5s)
Video: Different tree (5s)
Video: Another different tree (5s)
Video: Jingling keys (3s)
Video: Map of Algona (stealing from "Eileen" footage)
Video: Map of Siam (4s)
Video: Orange juice, preferably being poured into some bar-esque glass (4s)
Video: Close-up of the flame of a candle (180s would be preferred, but I can loop part of it if need be)
Video: Camera tracking the flight of a disc, preferably before it hits a tree (as many "s" as possible, up to about 10s)
Video: Some video of Jim Varney as Ernest (as many "s" as possible, up to about 10s)
I'm changing how I'm using the above video slightly from my initial thoughts, by the way. Now it will be even cooler! ("!" sarcastic; this will be a horrible film. Worse than thrice-rejected/once-accepted "Eileen.")
No tripods allowed. All must be kinda shaky. (Thus, you cannot just find a map of Maquoketa online and put it into my film as a static image because that is not shaky.) All can go over the number of seconds mentioned; I can edit, of course. Try to center the image left to right within the frame; if you cannot, I'll fix it in the mix. (I will be anti-letterboxing these images to make them square.)
Anyway. Those with cameras -- and there's no reason why people getting cameras on Monday could not participate, since they could still upload AVI files by next Friday or send me a MiniDV tape -- thank you.
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
