Huh. That's Interesting...

My "Why We Love Reid" video just passed 7,000 hits on YouTube, and has two video responses. (Which means, I think, that the girl is posting her video as video responses to popular videos in the same theme. Which means, this clunky thing I barely cobbled together while learning Movie Maker has become fairly popular.)

Now, I know it's not super popular or anything, but it gets steady traffic, with bumps every Thursday as people surf the web for Criminal Minds related vids.

*strokes nonexistent goatee*

I think that means that fast-and-dirty fandom-related videos might help generate traffic to my website.

I'm getting really close to launching the thing. Tell you guys all about it once I get over the Zombie thing this weekend. Kid's parents are calling about the details, and Big Boy keeps passing them off to me. I get that he's a bit shy sometimes, but this zombie thing is not my baby. I hope this doesn't become one of those things, you know, where mom takes over and does all the work. He will need help keeping the kiddies in line, I'm sure, but this is HIS project.

Oy. It'll be fine. Just have to get through to this time tomorrow, and I'm golden.

zombie thing....

Dood. Are you interested in the zombie thing? If not, could you give me some tips on zombie make up? I've been playing around with stuff and I'm kind of sucking air. LOL

Yes ma'am. I even dreamed of zombies last night. I blame you for that.

You said you had white & green - any black?

i need to know where to go and when.

Cool! I'll private message you with directions (I'm a tad paranoid, is all).

I have a tiny bit of black that came with the other halloween set. It isn't much. I went to a sporting goods place to see if I could get tubes of the face paint hunters use, but they were out. I thought maybe I could use flour to make their hair look manky and pale them out a bit... but really I don't know. I also have some cheap brow pencils I could sacrifice to the cause, or get some more in the morning. PM coming up...

didn't think of flour, was thinking charcoal would work, but i'm unsure about allergies (i have none so am clueless on that sort of things)

idea is to pale 'em up, then darken under the eyes (not totally black, not raccoons or pandas) and to shade the cheekbones to make 'em look gaunt.

Any dark colour will work, convert the finished film to b&w to mask colours and just have shades

LOL on the zombie thing. If I were having my kid be in a zombie movie, I'd be calling you, too. It's actually not that you are taking over but that you will be there to make sure the kids don't get out of control.

Have fun!

I took him out to dinner, and he told me what he had in mind for the movie, and I made notes, dividing them into things we'd need bunch of zombies for and things not requiring more than two zombies. Thus, we arrived at what to do with the group while we have them.
