Bright Ideas
I wrote a video!
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/ ... ight-Ideas
Fun fact: the original script called for a heart shaped frame that said 'best friends forever' but we couldn't find one.

Kathleen, you were really good in this one. I can't quite put my finger on it, but there was something different about your performance. Maybe because you wrote it, too?
Great video all around.

Fantastic, and defiantly an effective poet deterrent. I mean, I'd be deterred by it.

Like Chekhov said, if you have a gun in the first minute of your comedy sketch, it had better go off in the third. Or something like that.

Re: Bright Ideas
this video was the best in a while, the only problem is i dont know why there is just somthing about it, it might be the acting the script or the way it was shoot and edited or even just a mix of it all, the only thing i know for sure is i loved it.
Last night I was in bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought to myself, where the heck is the ceiling.
Re: Bright Ideas
Was it just me or did something weird happen to the audio when he talks about his skinny kitty technology? Seemed like something changed but I can't quite put my finger on what exactly. (On further listens: different acoustics maybe, did you have to re-record that later or was the mic just in a different spot?)
Not a big deal in any case, was slightly distracting for me but I still enjoyed it; just curious mostly.

I love this video. I called it being a gun, but I still laughed and cheered a little when it was revealed to be one. Jer should be a salesman for real.

Re: Bright Ideas
We love you, Wes.
Oh, yeah, right, the video. *ahem* The gun was easy enough to predict, but the overall variety of crazy ideas made up for that. Also, great out-of-touch-with-reality... ness... from Jer. Previous nutbar inventors in LRR videos have tended to be ridiculously over-enthusiastic versions of whoever's playing them, but this guy felt like a really distinct character.

Dammit, Kathleen! That floor isn't scotch-guarded! Why do we have a killing room if you're not going to use it?
Re: Bright Ideas
Brilliant video. Jer's performance was excellent and Kathleen's expression when the "Skinny Kitty" was revealed was priceless.
By the way, I would totally by a Smithe, Smithe, Thwimp, and Pastlewait (or at least that is what it sounded like) t-shirt.

Re: Bright Ideas
I'm gunna say that the boom ran outa power or something simmilar and nobody noticed, which is why th audio returns to normal when the camera shot changes.
Speaking of which, You guys have a nice habbit of re-shooting stuff without a mic, How many takes did you do to get it right to just say "Fuck it, we won't do it live!"
And as for the video, god damned hilarious. And kathleen is just like "OMG GUY! I CAN ACT!" And then jer is like "But wait! I can act as well!" And kathleens like "No fuck you, i'm better!" And jers like "Nooooooooo!"
...I may have got a bit distracted there, but yes. Kathleen appears to have Become a better actor in that video. (Not that she wasn't great before, but that vid just seemed... better.)
And yeah, well written as well, personally i'd like to see more unfiltered kathleen on the escapist, re-watching the archives i think it could do with a little more of her insanity.
Also: GOD DAMN! sudden block 'o text, i must be tired.

Re: Bright Ideas
Good video. I agree that Jer's character was very well played.
For some reason I really like the belt interaction bit. That made me laugh a lot. Also, when Jer's describing his other inventions as he's being pushed out the door. THAT was cool.

Re: Bright Ideas
All I have to say is - your spot was meanly placed. Completely unfair - didn't notice it the first time through.
Excellent work. Will we get to see some pictures of the paper drawings in full so we can marvel at the detail?

Re: Bright Ideas
Poets coming up to me and trying to get me to listen to their free-form verse! Ugh! It's a huge problem. I want me a poet-be-gone!
This was fantastic. Loved the writing, Kathleen; dialog was exquisitely snappy. The kitty picture was a nice touch, and you made for a wonderful confused/terrified patent lawyer.
Also, why is Jer so damn good at being so damn crazy? It's wonderful. Probably from DMing so much. Ach, I'd love to be in a game with him as DM...
Anyway. Loved it!

Re: Bright Ideas
The performance in the video was spot-on, and how out of touch Jer's character was was comedy gold when he started rattling off the plethora of ideas he produced. That kitty picture was amazing as well. It is certainly a mark of yours, Kathleen. Crazy cat ladies bringing their obsession to the writing of videos! Love it.

Was the cat picture already within your possession, or was it taken for the video?

That was taken for the video. Kathleen doesn't actually have photos of her cats around the house.Phenonemis wrote:Was the cat picture already within your possession, or was it taken for the video?
