NEW VIDEO - VIDEO #2 - LOOK HERE!!! "We've Had Enough - No TANKS!"

Dear Members -

9-2-08 UP DATE! FINAL CUT "We've Had Enough - No TANKS!" is posted below. I went with the majority & posted the version w/ narration. We'll see how it's received - Thank you all for your imput - on to the next!

Below [see: attached files] is our newest video arrival. It is a – sort of – “animated cartoon" which I hope you will find amusing. The concept was inspired by graphic art [see: above] created by member, Lawrence W. Lee & a comment post by Dan Burbank regarding changing original Thanks to Tanks. I provided the “Cartoon Voices” – for better or worse!

There are two versions below – [1] with narration & [1] without narration. The narration was hard – I had to do all voices within 1 unbroken take – (remember I can’t edit within narration track) so it’s not “perfect” (I tried believe me) but I think it is amusing – you tell me. Or do you prefer the one without narration?

Please know – It is not my desire to be the whole show – but truly, due to my lack of knowledge & the limitations of my editorial program – I simply don't know how to make it all happen and have done the best I can to keep the idea of this group moving forward. I don’t have a studio or an avid machine. My editorial program is limited in scope – I cannot do tight editing within the narration track etc. The style we all desire – multiple voices – I fear – may well be beyond my editorial limitations. Ah, for the luxury of a studio.

With the next, 3rd video, I will return to the “member photos” format. Hopefully with multiple voices as originally envisioned and desired – if I can figure out how.

Or – perhaps someone – one of you – more skilful than I – steps forward – envisions, creates and produces the perfect scenario.

In the mean time, I hope our new [# 2] “animated cartoon” is viewed as favorably as our first. Give me your feedback – before I post it to the “PickensPlan” public video section. I sure hope “Rosie” makes you giggle – She’s supposed to - or maybe I should post the one w/o narration. TELL ME.

The best to all of you,
Kathy Lee

P.S. Please don’t share the video until I’ve posted it publically – thanks!

I like the narration the best as well. Very cleaver. Keep up the good work. Though I have to say that it is not militant, IMHO. You could get away with something much harder edge if you wanted to. I am sure that the feeling is out there. Don't hold back on the next one, even if it is just for us here. ;-)

Hi Kathy Lee. First of all, I like your middle name! Okay, I just watched both versions. My wife does this to me with her shoes...which looks better? I first impulse is that I like the soundless version better and here's why. You've got a nice voice for particular "scenes," but I was more translated into the video without the extra imput. Both of them are nice, but I liked the silent one. Kinda like less is better. That's what I tried to do while inventing my new wind turbine. I hope you saw it. I'd love to have an animation made of it to post on pickensplan, but alas, that's beyond my skill level! However, I do enjoy doing some of the old cartoon characters with my 5-year-old grandson, meaning I might be able to do a particular voice in a sequence to help you out. Aaaaa...what's up Doc? I do a real good Porkie-The-Pig, stutters and all! Please consider joining the new group I started last week called "Support The Rebel Wind Turbine." Tanks...wabbit; ▶ Reply to This
