A Musical Tribute - by SilverWolfPet and YOU (Launched! Page 11)

[Silverwolfpet]

Yeees, Alan said I will not get banned if I post this! Hehehe :p

Dear fans, my fingers have been running around on my piano and I composed something, well, for the fans!
However, I don't wanna sing it alone, this is a happy happy group song!



Whoever wants to join in, must follow these easy steps:

1. Have a video camera or a webcam or any type of device that lets you record yourself visually. (in the worst case scenario we'll put a picture of you in the tribute, or I'll draw you myself using crayons, but do try to find a camera please)

2. Have a decent microphone. (try not to record yourself singing using your mobile phone or using other not-so-good microphones... a webcam mic or a simple pc mic will do)

3. Do you know the song "A Whole New World" from Disney's Aladdin?
(in case you don't, here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kl4hJ4j48s).

I need you to record yourself (only audio) singing the verse from 1:10 to 1:26. Basically, the refrain.
No background music, just your voice. Give it your best shot.

If you don't have an audio editing/recording program, try this one, it's free:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/

4. After recording your voice
IMPORTANT - Name your file based on your user name. If I would record a sample I would name it "SilverWolfPet - Sample.mp3" or wav or whatever format you prefer. This way I can work faster, thanks!

ahem, so... after recording your voice upload it somewhere online (e.g http://www.mediafire.com/).

5. Send me the link to your upload, through a PM. That's it!

This is not a contest,
every single one of you who will send me an audio clip will participate in the tribute...
I just need to know what lyrics I can give you to sing and that depends on how high can your voice go without distorting the sound.
Meh, technical stuff, just do your best, don't worry about it.

You must send you files until Tuesday.
There is no actual time limit, but it will be harder for me to plan this if you're late with the files :)

On Wednesday I will send everyone their text and a demo on how to sing their part and instructions regarding the next step.

With a little bit of luck, we'll have a tribute by friday.

Just to be clear, it doesn't matter if you're a guy or a girl, it's a community tribute :D

Now what are you waiting for? Go Go Go!!!

[mathman77]

As embarasing as it may be, I almost feel obligated to do this. I'll see what I can do.

[Remolay]

I get to be a part of something, and it involves one of my favorite things in the world!

I love to sing, so this is perfect for me.

I'll do this sample, but the best example of me singing currently is probably me doing Tom Lehrer's A Christmas Carol on YouTube. Yeah, sorry for plugging, I just think it's a good example.

[Silverwolfpet]

^ post a link here :)

Also, to those who think they cannot sing...uh, yeah you can! Just have fun with it! ;)

[doggans]

In the immortal words of Homestar Runner, "Oh, sweet dog, you KNOW I'm all over this!"

[Origami]

Okay I'll join. :)
Try to record it as soon as possible.

You don't have to sing good right?
I can sing on tune but I don't have the most pleasant singing voice. :P



BTW. I can play A whole new world on the piano. But you made your own composition.

[Silverwolfpet]

Oh, piano player! High Five, bro!

And no, you don't have to have a good voice, bla bla... :p

[Origami]

Yeah I am technically quite adept. I am playing Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 at the moment.
Still cleaning up though. Hella difficult. :P

But my improvisation sucks! I have just start learning it.

[Vainamoinen]

Chickening out... no microphone, no camera. My voice is OK, but doesn't go high. I'm on the bass/tenor verge, I think, but that can't be verified. ;)

Good luck!

[Origami]

I haz heavy voice too. I blame the turkish genes. =(

[Remolay]

Just in case you didn't notice, I did edit my post with the link to me singing the Tom Lehrer song, I'm pretty sure I have a baritone voice. Now I wonder, do I still have to record the Disney song sample with my currently online example?

[Meta Ray Mek]

I'm scared. I make birds fall out of the sky and dogs drag their butts on the carpet when I sing. =<

[Origami]

^
Please join. You'll lower the bar and other people will dare to send in their sample. =(

[Trenchfoot]

Hmmm I would love to participate, but I'm not too sure what my neighbors will think if they hear me singing "A Whole New World" :p

Can't promise anything, but I'll try something...

[Weeblerjake]

Ok. Yeah, so when I get home, I'm getting out my microphone, and entering.

[Trackah123]

@Silverwolfpet

I can't sing for sh*t, but...

Let me master the song :D when its in his final stages of completion.

It would be even better of you could make every instrument and vocal rendered on seperate tracks in WAV. So i can do it in Cubase.

[Icedhope]

I should have mine ready monday, assuming my camera will work properly.

[Secret Fawful]

I'm in. I have an epic idea for the recording of my own video part but I might have to ask you if it's okay, if I can even get it to record.

Also, I'm glad you asked Alan. You got to watch that guy; he's ready to ban at slightest notice!

[Silverwolfpet]

Bla bla bla neighbours bla bla can't sing bla bla I make babies cry

Oh, come on people, it's just for fun! :D I can't sing either!

Remolay, it's perfect, you don't need to send the sample anymore. I will, however, ask you to give your recording a little more "punch", lemme hear your voice because you tend to whisper it a bit. :) But we'll get to that later, I'll send you your part soonish.

Oh and never EVER film against the sunlight. Each time someone films against sunlight, a pixie dies. And also the lighting doesn't help your facial features to be too observable. So think about that next time.

Secret Fawful, once I cast your part(s) I will tell you what we'll do... but basically you are free to film yourself in every epic way you see fit. ...as long as you're decent.

I think everybody knows that after we record the community song, each of us will have to film himself/herself lipsync-ing to his/her part. But we'll get there, step by step.

I really love the song, it's awesome and it's probably one of my best pieces yet. I hope you guys like it too.

[Icedhope]

Oh, wait...what was I supposed to be doing again?

[Silverwolfpet]

That's it! You're fired Flinststoooone!

[divisionten]

I'll do it tomorrow. I used to sing opera, but that was when I was like... 13. So my voice isn't anywhere where it was. I can sing both alto and first soprano, but not in between.

[monkeymovies]

Just sent you one!
Would be great to be involved!
:D

[nomecopies]

Ok... I'll try but when I sing it begins to rain.

Can I sing the sample with the spanish lyrics? :D

EDIT: Sample sent.

[Remolay]

Oh and never EVER film against the sunlight. Each time someone films against sunlight, a pixie dies. And also the lighting doesn't help your facial features to be too observable. So think about that next time.


Yeah it was an extremely sunny day. I had to do it in that way, the other way I could have possibly recorded it the entire screen would be sunlight.

[Silverwolfpet]

Wow, people are sending in their recordings! Awesome! Thanks and consider yourselves signed up for the best community tribute ever!!

C'mon, who's next!

...cowardly lion? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwCfDetV30o

[Jon NA]

I can't send it till tuesday ... :( can you extend the limit? just give me one more day :(

[Origami]

*sigh* I think I have to chicken out.
I am awfully annoyed by my pronounciation.

[corruptbiggins]

Might as well give this a go tonight, should be by myself then!

[Irishmile]

I do not sing... and if I did people would turn off the vid.

[Silverwolfpet]

*sigh* I think I have to chicken out.
I am awfully annoyed by my pronounciation.

Nonsense. Please send it dude!

I do not sing... and if I did people would turn off the vid.

Hahano, send it. Lemme hear how bad that is.

[ElvishVamp]

Singing well is not the point guys! Even if you can't sing, join in anyway! I just sent in my submission. Please don't let me be the worst singer on this thing.

I was seriously tempted to sing "A Pirate I was Meant to Be", but that's probably a terrible idea. I sound bad enough as it is.

[Origami]

Okay...sigh I'll send tomorrow.

[Jon NA]

So I guess not answering my question means a no then, huh Andrei? ...

[Silverwolfpet]

^ send it when you can, we'll see if you make it on time or not, okay?

[divisionten]

Good Lord, I'm out of practice. Anyway, here's the file.

http://www.mediafire.com/?ctocqbbc15i4ebo

[OzzieMonkey]

Um, when you say Tuesday, when is it Tuesday for you? Cause right now for me it's Tuesday night. I'll send a clip in if it's not too late, but if it is, nevermind, I'm pretty shit anyways.

[Silverwolfpet]

Umm, let's make it a "general Tuesday" :p Just send it as soon as you can! Milkman will send it asap too, the more the better :)

EDIT: I already received some entries, super awesome! All of them! Keep 'em coming people!

[Dalixam]

I'll ruin the song completely, it'll be fun :)

[Origami]

Silverwolfpet


Is sending you a sample binding in that you are forced to work on the project?
If you say no, I'll send my sample. =)

[Silverwolfpet]

Um...what? Errrr, no? I mean, just send it in already!!

[Origami]

Too late now. It's wednesday over here. =P


Okay I'll send you tomorrow when I woke up okay?
PLZ!

[Silverwolfpet]

OK! Just send iiiit! :p

People, last chance! I'm starting to send the song to the ones who entered! C'mon c'mon c'mon!

[Origami]

Silverpetwolf I have recorded it.
Can I send it by email since it's only one mb.

[Trackah123]

@Silverwolfpet

Can i master it? :D

And btw did it work now with Adobe Audition and those VST thingies?

[Silverwolfpet]

Silverpetwolf I have recorded it.
Can I send it by email since it's only one mb.

What part of "send it" don't you understand? :p Sure... silverwolfpet (at) yahoo (dot) com

@Silverwolfpet

Can i master it? :D

And btw did it work now with Adobe Audition and those VST thingies?

Hmmm, Me thinks yes, you can master it. Lemme just send the text to the peoplez and they gets it recorded.

Also, haven't tried it yet... I've been dancing my butt off for a side-project I'm making. Will look over it tonight or tomorrow. Thank you! Also sorry for the late reply. :)

[Origami]

What part of "send it" don't you understand?

I was under the assumption you might've preferred to have it uploaded on something like rapidshare. But I didn't feel to go through the hassle of creating an account and such.
Thus I wanted to ask you if I could send it by email. You might have declined because of privacy reason.

But I'll send it now!

[Edward VanHelgen]

you can upload it freely and without registering at mediafire.com for example, UNLESS...

you're Chicken? *Electronic Chicken Sound Played

just kiddin', just kiddin' :p

[Origami]

Screw it Silverwolfpet!

I am chickening out! That's right! This McFly IS a chicken! >=(



EDIT: *sigh* Okay I send my sample to Silverwolfpet.

[Vainamoinen]

On/ off/ on/ off/ on. :D

[Origami]

Yes. I tend to be a lightswitch.

To be honest though...I still don't feel good about doing it.
The reason I did send it was that I already promised to help Silverwolfpet a couple of weeks ago.
However....he didn't specify then yet that it involved singing >.> I thought I was just supposed to read some lines.
But I am a man of my word *boasts* so...I had to send it I guess.

EDIT: Silverwolfpet send me a comforting email though. I feel somewhat good about it now. ^^

[Silverwolfpet]

On/ off/ on/ off/ on. :D

I once had a lightbulb that did just that. Shot it. Very sad.

[Vainamoinen]

Great story!

[Silverwolfpet]

I know! It was one of my best movies!

http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/4346/photofunia5972fa.jpg

[Origami]

^
I like how it looks as if the guy is leaving. XD

[doggans]

So, not to rush you, but when(ish) can we expect instructions if we haven't received them yet? I have the house to myself for a few more hours and am ready to record! :D

[Vainamoinen]

I love how Silverwolfpet does stuff like this in minutes.

And yes, hurry up all of you! After all, the game releases on December 22nd!

[Benito]

I love how Silverwolfpet does stuff like this in minutes.

And yes, hurry up all of you! After all, the game releases on December 16th!!

It does?! Oh glory day!

[Silverwolfpet]

Ooookay

People I have sent the necessary materials to record the song:
(how the heck does that work from a grammatical point of view???)

divisionten
doggans
ElvishVamp
Icedhope
Milkman08
MonkeyMovies
nomecopies
Origami
Remolay
Secret Fawful
TheBlueBadger
Trenchfoot
Weeblerjake

If your name is not on the list or if you didn't receive the PM,
then send me a PM so I can send you everything you need.

After you record everything I'll send more instructions on which voodoo rituals must be performed in order to create the tribute.

If you want to sing with us too, let me know.

EDIT: Oh, one more thing... I never mentioned this will be a BTTF tribute. That one is on it's way too ;)

[nomecopies]

Er... Just one little question. Do we have to record only AUDIO or also VIDEO?

[Silverwolfpet]

Right now, only audio.

[Trenchfoot]

I love the song! It's really catchy and seems simple enough to sing. I'll record it tonight or tomorrow if possible.

La la la la lalalaaaa:winslow:

[Silverwolfpet]

By the way, JUST your voice, okay?

I mean, you can have the music track playing quietly in the background, but I need your voice most of all without any noises. Just to be clear.

[Origami]

Hmm...listened to the song.
I hear some influences from Pachabel's Canon and Grean Leaves. :P

Nice work btw. I am getting some sort of King's Quest vibe from it.

[Icedhope]

I know! It was one of my best movies!

http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/4346/photofunia5972fa.jpg

Yeah, that was me...I thought it had something to do with comic books, but then I realized it was Schmuck crying over a light bulb, who can't Ac--I mean..it was a very touching scene where Andrei, let his best passion go forth.

[nomecopies]

I was actually the projectionist, but couldn't stop the movie before Andrei stopped pointing me with the gun and left the theatre...

[Silverwolfpet]

Oh, shut up, guuuys! It's a classic!

[Origami]

^
What's the deadline for singing the song?

[Silverwolfpet]

When everybody sends it in, I'll start sending the rest of the instructions. So if one of you is late, nobody gets their instructions...so don't be late.

Muahahahaha I'm evil.

[Secret Fawful]

I'll hear this song, as sung by me, in my nightmares for the rest of my life.

[Trenchfoot]

I'm sending mine in a couple of hours. Still Thursday here, so... Legal loop! :p

[divisionten]

You'll get it when I get back from class in 5 hours. Can't do it sooner, unfortunately.

-Sent. Pardon the extreme suckage-

[Trenchfoot]

Finally send it. Can't wait to hear Silver shake his head and say "What have I done???" :p

[monkeymovies]

Ok, I'll record it tomorrow when I've got the house to myself.
:)

Just listening to the demo on loop so I can mesmerise...err...memorise it.

[ElvishVamp]

I love the song! I won't be able to send mine until later though. Will that be a problem?

[Silverwolfpet]

It's okay, just send it whenever you can. :)

[Weeblerjake]

Same. I haven't been able to get to my computer lately, but I can probably do it Saturday. I like the song, it's simple enough for me.

[Vainamoinen]

But we wanted a tribute by Friday, that's today! :D :D :D

[Silverwolfpet]

What can one do? I have to wait for everyone to finish their parts. :)

[Trenchfoot]

No, with that attitude they'll keep pushing it back! You gotta put pressure on them, Silver! Let 'em know why are you paying us to sing! :p

Seriously though, how is it coming along? Are we good enough?

[TheBlueBadger]

Let 'em know why are you paying us to sing! :p

Yeah, right!! ... wait, what? You're getting paid and I'm not?! :eek:

[Silverwolfpet]

No, with that attitude they'll keep pushing it back! You gotta put pressure on them, Silver! Let 'em know why are you paying us to sing! :p

Seriously though, how is it coming along? Are we good enough?

Paid?? Who said anything about... wait... *looks at Icedhope* Kuuuurt!!

It's coming along nicely :) It's not the singing, it's the videos I'm worried about :p

Yeah, right!! ... wait, what? You're getting paid and I'm not?! :eek:

Nobody is getting paid! *looks at Icedhope* NOW nobody is getting paid. Go to your room!

[Edward VanHelgen]

Hi Silverwolfpet - about that payment you promised, umm.. it's not on my account yet. I recieved the giant donuts package this morning though, and i love them. I can't decide between choco, jelly and cream, they're all great. Thanx again, bye

[Remolay]

I'm having so much trouble recording it, the vocals given in the demo do not sound like they fit.

[Silverwolfpet]

They're just there to guide you, that's why I included the instrumental version :) Just follow the main instrument's notes. Play around with it, it doesn't have to be perfect.

[Weeblerjake]

Recording!

...anybody know how to treat whip marks?

[Silverwolfpet]

Erm guys? Hurry up please!

[Origami]

^
My parents must leave the house!!!

[nomecopies]

I'm waiting for an empty house... But it will be today...


EDIT: Finished my sh... part.

[nomecopies]

By the way, SilverWolfPet, you said you'll gift us all a bunch of TT games, didn't you? I don't work for free...:D

[Remolay]

I'll doit by tomorrow!

[Silverwolfpet]

Hahano no games.

Remolay, Origami, others that haven't sent yet, tomorrow IS the last day. If I don't get your recordings by then, I'll go on without you.

Then everybody will have until tuesday to record themselves (video) in every way they see fit. I will send everyone their own version of the song so they can lipsync to their words. Start thinking/planning regarding where you'll film.

If you film outside, I recommend using an mp3 player or iPod to listen to the song while lipsync-ing. Don't worry about other sounds, I will use only the video. Think about awesome ways you can enhance the message of the song and make it happy happy joy joy!

If you want to dance, please do so! Wanna record three versions of it, do so! Wanna dance naked in the snow? ...do so, but don't film yourself. Please. Don't.

[Farlander]

Pssst, SWP. Pay from the wallet you stole from me. No one will have the rights to complain :p ;)

[Trackah123]

Soon! Ohh so soon :D

[Secret Fawful]

Be careful about prodding SWP to pay you guys. He snail mailed me several pair of his dirty underwear with a picture of him wearing them stapled to each of them. The package also came with a note.

"Dear Laundromat,

I want these cleaned and sent back to me by Friday. If you mess up my laundry one more time, I am going to f-cking kick your f-cking Jew asses. I mailed them so I don't have to see you f-cking smiling through your f-cking teeth at me every time I walk through your f-cking door. Get it the f-ck done!

-The Andreimeister"

....
....
....Why the hell are these pictures stapled on?

[Silverwolfpet]

o.O

I never write friday with capital F.

[divisionten]

o.O

I never write friday with capital F.

Yeah, because that's the most important thing about that letter. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CompletelyMissingThePoint)

[Secret Fawful]

Wait a minute... My name isn't Laundromat...

http://i53.tinypic.com/29mu5j7.png

...I sense some minky business going on here...

[Origami]

Let the recordings commence!
Okay. I got to record 2 more lines.

And then the whole song *sigh*
I might skip on that one because I probably wrecked my voice with all the screaming lol.

[Silverwolfpet]

DON't SKIP! Just record already!

Oh and divisionten... your shoelace is untied!

Muahahaha!

[Origami]

Okay I got one more line to do from the lines you asked me to do.
I am sweating. Acting is tiring. ^^ *wipes of sweat*

I am going to upload it on Rapidshare Silverwolfpet.


EDIT: Done with those lines. Now the song!

[Origami]

Okay bad news. I can't record the song today my parents just returned.
But I skimmed through the song and I am able to sing any part of it in a 'fun' way.
So if possible I can send it tomorrow directly sung in a video.

And Silverwolfpet I am going to send you the raw footage of the lines. These are M2TS files. Let me know if you can convert them or not into avi. If not I'll also upload the files in .avi format.

I'll pm you the rapidshare links in half an hour.

I hope they're all good because I can't do a retake today. I can probably tomorrow. :D

[Silverwolfpet]

I also work in m2ts! it's ok ;)

[Origami]

Do you have a rapidshare account because I don't know if to upload them in packages or all individually?

[TheBlueBadger]

Glad to hear we're making progress!
And.. hearing about weird payments and other fishy things... nevermind those, I guess. Whatever happens in your closet, pleaaase, let it stay there. Unless you have a pretty girl trapped in there.

Now excuse me, I have to cure my cold - anyone in for a christmas zombie lip-sync video?

[Origami]

Lol...I totally spammed SWP's message box. I am sorry dude. It's because I am in a hurry that I become so clumsy. >.>

I promise that if there is a next time I won't let it get to that!

[Secret Fawful]

I'm getting the flu....only time will tell if I'll have to drop out or not but I'm a genius so I should be able to find a way around that if it comes to it. Just thought a heads up would be nice.

[Remolay]

BIG Edit: Screw it. It's already tuesday. I didn't get a long enough time to myself today, even without watching Tron.

[Silverwolfpet]

Okay, I'm starting to send out the files.

Remolay, record your stuff and send it when you read this. There still is time. C'mon!

Reviewing the list:

divisionten - sent
doggans - sent
ElvishVamp - sent
Icedhope - (we can work by e-mail, don't worry, I didn't forget you)
Milkman08 - Just heard your recording... we need to talk.
MonkeyMovies - sent
nomecopies - sent
Origami - (still waiting for the recording dude)
Remolay - (waiting for recording)
Secret Fawful - sent
TheBlueBadger - sent
Trenchfoot - sent music + video too, good job... but we need to talk about that damn window behind you. Against sunlight is bad.
Weeblerjake - (still waiting for the song)
c dog - you didn't even send the sample... you still in or not? I can send you the song, but let me know please

In the worst case scenario, in which I messed up and forgot to send you the files, let me know asap. If I forgot anyone, tell me... my inbox has been flooded (thanks origami, feel bad now) and I may have missed your PM. (Origami, just kidding :p)

Ok, we're good to go! Lemme SEE your greatest performances! GO GO GO!

[mathman77]

Milkman08 - Just heard your recording... we need to talk.

Uh oh. I'll still have a Doc when you're done with him, right?

[Silverwolfpet]

^ no worries on that one :p

[Origami]

But I don't know what to send? You still want me to partake in the song?
What do I need to do? Record myself singing it? Only audio or video too?

[Trackah123]

Silverwolfpet, is there even more to come of your song? :D More mastering? :p

[Silverwolfpet]

(Origami, I sent you a PM)

(Trackah123, sent you a PM too)

UPDATE: monkeymovies just sent me his video! Brilliant! Who's next? C'mooon!

[tarasis]

(Origami, I sent you a PM)

(Trackah123, sent you a PM too)

UPDATE: MonkeyMovies just sent me his video! Brilliant! Who's next? C'mooon!

What do you need? Be happy to try and help / join in

[Origami]

RAAAAAAAAGH!!!

I hate the fact my voice has such a pathetic reach.
I can barely sing beneath the central C and the C an octave higher.

If the song was half an octave lower than I would be able to pull it off.

/excuses.

I am just going to send some part of the song.

[Silverwolfpet]

Sure mate, no worries. I can't sing either but that didn't stop me, no sir! :p

[monkeymovies]

Oh, am I the first?
:D

By the way, it's "monkeymovies", not "MonkeyMovies".
;)

[tarasis]

Okay ... Silverwolfpet you are clearly insane ... I like it.

How long do we have to get this done?

[Silverwolfpet]

Oops, sorry man... I'm used to write names like that. My bad, monkeymovies it is :)

Tarasis you have exactly... no time at all. So get started asap. :D

UPDATE: Secret Fawful has sent a cool video too! And Weeblerjake managed to send his recording in as well... we're almost there people!

[Secret Fawful]

I got mine sent in because I'm a reliable and dependable genius, unlike the rest of you lazy, good-for-nothing bastards. Really, it's almost as if this entire video is purely about me.

http://blogs.westword.com/showandtell/00trollface.jpg

[Origami]

Ugghh.........Silverwolfpet.
I am sorry to announce I have to refrain from sending you lip-synching videos.
I am really too tired. *yawn*

You can still use my voice clips for chorus parts.

[Silverwolfpet]

Shhhh!! You didn't send me any videos!!! Shhhhh!!!

No worries, record tomorrow. Have a good night sleep. You've earned it :p

[Origami]

Owh yet more time!
Great! ^^

[tarasis]

I look forward to being mortally embarrassed with this. Props to Silverwolfpet for being a sport and doing this!

[Weeblerjake]

Agreed. Video sent, now let's see how bad I end up looking :p

[Origami]

I look forward to being mortally embarrassed with this.

This! Luckily the community here is a bunch of nice guys. (I hope :()

[Silverwolfpet]

Who said it's a bttf tribute?? It's a X-Mas Carol!

There isn't really any bttf in the lyrics, guys :p

[Origami]

^
Yeah that's what I meant. >.>
I guess I assumed it because we've been hanging too much on these boards....
But it's kind of a tribute to the BttF game right?

I mean the lines:

"....new game today"

and "It's free"

[tarasis]

All I know is I can't get the damn tune out of my head. Kinda okay as I need to stay awake a few more mins to figure out what I'm ordering ...

[Trenchfoot]

Sent! Now let's wait for the worst part... The feedback! Muahahahaha!

[Origami]

^
What feedback? People that wussed out of the project are by default ineligble to state their opinion about it(unless it's positive :p)

[Silverwolfpet]

I think he means feedback from me... I am known to use my indy whip™ on those who do not rise to my expectations.

[Secret Fawful]

Kinky.

[Icedhope]

Just got off work, and I will record shortly.

[Silverwolfpet]

UPDATE: 6 videos received! 7 more to go! This is going swell! Beautiful clips!

Except for Trenchfoot. That kid hates me. Still against sunlight on his 2nd 3rd and 4th attempts... I give up.

(don't worry, they're fiiiiine... :p)

[doggans]

Mine is taking forever to export, but rest assured, I'll have it to you as soon as I can!

[Icedhope]

Mine should be sent in, sorry if I sound doggish and tired...this trick where me and andrei...yell at each other from across the world..starts to wear my voice down. :P

[Silverwolfpet]

Yeah... we should really get one of those, what do you call 'em, things that directors use to yell at the actors on the set.

[joeldee]

Yeah... we should really get one of those, what do you call 'em, things that directors use to yell at the actors on the set.

Megaphone <

[Trenchfoot]

Except for Trenchfoot. That kid hates me. Still against sunlight on his 2nd 3rd and 4th attempts... I give up.

I don't hate you, I'm just EEEEVIIIIL.
Seriously though, sorry for the trouble. You can cut me out if you want to, I won't be offended :)

[Remolay]

Recording in a few seconds

And It's done. Although the choir director for my school would likely yell at me for it (Slured here and there, a few times I had to go so low that I couldn't pronounce things the way I should while singing), It is completed.

[StevenMcFlyJr]

and this has what to do with BTTF exactly? The song does?

[Silverwolfpet]

Megaphone <

Oh, right! Thanks Joel!

You can cut me out if you want to, I won't be offended :)

You're crazy, shut up. It's fine. :p

and this has what to do with BTTF exactly? The song does?

Nope, it was posted here because it's the most active part of the forum. And Alan said I could! Ha!

...hey, why haven't you joined?

[tarasis]

and this has what to do with BTTF exactly? The song does?

Call it a ... diversion from waiting ;)

[Silverwolfpet]

Okay guys, It's 2:35 PM at my place. I need you to finish those clips and send them to me before the end of the day. If you have any questions, PM me.

[divisionten]

Aah! Sh*t, I totally forgot. Well, I'll take a shower, get in my yukata or something, and do it. Yukata or regular pjs? You guys have 30 minutes to vote while I go wash myself.

[Silverwolfpet]

Haha, totally yukata! :p

[divisionten]

Haha, totally yukata! :p

Orange or blue? I have two. And now I need to shower. Stupid procrastination.

[monkeymovies]

Will we be seeing this video by the end of the day if everyone co-operates?
:)

[Silverwolfpet]

Everyone = 7 more people + Trackah123 who was kind enough to help us with mastering the audio.

The clip itself is easy to make. The audio is what worries me, I have to sync it and make it sound nice.

If everyone finishes their stuff on time, I'm sure we can see the clip by tomorrow...although it will morel likely be shown after the big launch. Oh well, keeping fingers crossed!

[divisionten]

Well, since nobody answered, I picked blue. Deal with it. ^_^ Video's almost done.

[Silverwolfpet]

Erm... hmmm... I fail to see the yukata in the pic :p

[divisionten]

Erm... hmmm... I fail to see the yukata in the pic :p

That's cause I PM'ed you the wrong thing. Check your inbox.

[Silverwolfpet]

Good Morning America! Now send me your clips! Pleeaaaaase... Just reminding you to do that :p

If you don't have clips, then send some pics with you/ your family/ friends...but send me a visual representation of you with a x-mas theme! Take a picture near the X-mas tree, I dunno...but do something. I can't postpone this anymore. :)

6 more hours to go until I can't accept any more clips.

[Silverwolfpet]

Okay, I'm starting to work on the clip. To those who didn't send me the clips on time, you have exactly 12 hours to send me pictures of yourself and your family, or the tree or whatever you wish.

Thank you to everyone who submitted their work. Now I'll get copyrights on your materials and migrate to Germany. Muahahahaha! ...or I'll just make the clip :p

[Cyphox]

Germany is a good idea! German beer is great, im great, german women are great, and the language is great and everything you can think of is great.

and you can visit majus! yay!

[Silverwolfpet]

You guys have beer???

...

I don't like beer. I'll stay home.

[Cyphox]

YOU CANT BE SERIOUS!!!!

...
..
..
..

we have wine, too!! imported from..... other countries....

btw. german beer is the best. you ever heard of the "deutsches reinheitsgebot"???

[Silverwolfpet]

Wine? Hmmm... I do drink wine once or twice a year... okay, I'm in.

[tarasis]

Been out I'll for the past 2 days has the video not been released yet?

Btw Merry Xmas one and all (or whatever brand of holiday you happen to celebrate)

[Silverwolfpet]

Hey guys and girls!!

It's finished :) and it's awesome! You all did a wonderful job!

I am waiting for a response from Alan to see how we're gonna post this one... if I don't hear from him in one day, I'll just post it on my youtube channel and then post the link in this thread.

Some of you didn't send in any pics sooo... I had to come up with stuff. But it's ok. It's a nice video that will bring smiles all around!

Merry X-Mas everyone!! :D Or, as Tarasis said, whatever brand of holiday you celebrate...

[Secret Fawful]

WOOOO. Merry Christmas! I hope I'm not the only person actually excited to see himself in the video.

[Silverwolfpet]

Short update: I'm waiting for a response from Alan before I post the clip. That shouldn't be too long now.

[TheBlueBadger]

*keeps fingers crossed*
I've been refreshing this thread and youtube for three days now.

[tarasis]

Short update: I'm waiting for a response from Alan before I post the clip. That shouldn't be too long now.

What, he's as sad as us and is checking the site / his email when its his day off?

:)

[Icedhope]

GREAT SCOTT! Merry Christmas, and I forgot what I was supposed to be doing.

[Sarendor]

I wonder, will we get to know the history/future of Squiggles the Time Machine™? (The one who Silverwolfpet designed while Majus brought chips.)

[Icedhope]

I wonder, will we get to know the history/future of Squiggles the Time Machine™? (The one who Silverwolfpet designed while Majus brought chips.)

That's just an urban legend...you don't know the whole story...it was I who was bringing the chips, Majus and SWP, did nothing but sleep...and doodle! I WAS THE IRON HORSE WHO KEPT THE PROJECT MOVING!

[Silverwolfpet]

^ who the hell are you?

[Secret Fawful]

^ who the hell are you?

[Silverwolfpet]

o.O

That's it! You're out of the clip!

[Secret Fawful]

You can't kick me out, you big bully. I'm wearing glasses!

[Silverwolfpet]

*takes your glasses and runs away*

ahihihihihihiiii

[Secret Fawful]

*puts on extra pair of glasses*

All, right! Give me back my other pair of glasses or start eating that trashcan!

*points at a trashcan covered in frosting*

[tarasis]

From my dea^h^h^h sick bed I think we need a big group hug

*squeeze*

Now give his glasses back before he trips over and hurts himself, you never know what might be lurking on the floor

[Secret Fawful]

Aw, you're right. We just all need to put a little love in our heart.

And the world.
Will be a better place.
And the world.
Will be a better place.
For you.
And me.
You just wait.
And see. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdmMESIgMLM)

[Silverwolfpet]

Awww, so nice... *gives glasses back*

You know what we need? We need a song we can all sing together, perhaps make a video of it. A nice song with a nice message, for the holidays... yeah, we should do that.

[Trenchfoot]

That's a great idea! How come we didn't think of that before??? Now it's too late....


Or... is it?

[nomecopies]

Eh! I've been busy with family and those christmas things and totally forgot about the video :(

I suppose it's late but at least my voice will be there... (or maybe that's a bad notice... for you:D)

no video sent = your voice will most likely be heard in the chorus part or as we see a picture of some sort. The chorus part was the nicest part anyway, so...everybody is good :)

I hope I got this right. I've never worked with so many people online. I've dealt with 21 people at the same time, offline, while filming... but online, nevaaah!

[Weeblerjake]

You got it WRONG, wolfpet. Absolutely wrong.

JK I can't say that until after I see the video.

[tarasis]

Silverwolfpet you created a chorus out 15 disparate versions of the same song? Your crazier than I though :)

[divisionten]

I really want to see this now. C'mon! Pleeeeeease? I'll send you some Japanese candy!

[Trackah123]

Yeah i did ALOT of noise-reduction on some of the voices :p and in some cases a declipper.

I wonder how it will turn out.

[Trenchfoot]

Who did the lights correction for my video? :D

[tarasis]

Yeah sorry I didn't realize there was a phone ringing and a doorbell going off till after I'd sent my audio (I did a playback test with the backing track on, oops)

[tarasis]

A hopeful bump before we slide into 2011.

Release it :)

[Silverwolfpet]

Can't. :(

Alan was supposed to give me permission before I do that. Otherwise I'm literally not allowed. Remember the beginning of the thread? Alan Approved means a little more than just that.

I dunno why he ignored my last messages, but I'm sure he had a good reason to. Unfortunately, I must stick with what I promised in the first place... won't release it unless I get the final approval from Alan. That was the deal.

[Bloody Eugene]

I dunno why he ignored my last messages, but I'm sure he had a good reason to.

Maybe he's on holidays.... I think he deserve them! ;)

[tarasis]

Fair enough, a shame to be sure but thoroughly understandable.

Happy new year to you Silverwolfpet and everyone else!

Only 1h30 to go here ...

[Silverwolfpet]

30 minutes to go here! :D Happy New Year to you too Tarasis and to everybody!! Looking forward to our next collaboration :D

[tarasis]

Then .... Happy New Year, best wishes and loOkIng forward to what's next :)

[TheBlueBadger]

Happy New Year!
The anticipation just gets bigger and the experience was fun anyway. :)
Ha, maybe we have to wait till February?

[Silverwolfpet]

Mmmno, I do hope Alan will respond until February!

It was confusing due to the fact that in my country, on the 24th of December, people are still at work. Apparently, Alan was free that day... but I did see him online! Dunno... Worst case scenario...there is no worst case scenario! We just wait :p

[Secret Fawful]

If he doesn't respond soon, I'll travel to California, find him, and end him by legal means with a big sappy smile on my face, after which I'll go out and treat myself to a nice sarsaparilla. Just something to consider.

And then I'll find you, SWP. You'll take the fall, son.

[Trackah123]

Hello all and a happy 2011.

SWP why can't you release it on the forums for now? is there something in it that really needs Alan's approval (copyright things?), or something else?

Maybe i just missed something but that is how i would do it temporarily :)

[Silverwolfpet]

Hey Trackah123! Yyyyeah, it's tightly connected to copyright stuff. Can't really say much about it.

It was ready in good time... I just didn't get that final OK before the holidays.

[mathman77]

Copyrights? Wow, that must have been some deal! It seems like the people who gave their voices for it should be able to see it, but what do I know.

[ElvishVamp]

Sorry for not sending in any video. I was so busy because of the holiday that I literally had no time! >_< At least I'm still in the chorus.

I hope you get approval soon! I can't wait to see it!

[Silverwolfpet]

Get ready!!!! :D

[mathman77]

Ready!

[tarasis]

You always seem to catch me as I'm going to bed. WTH are you still doing up?!?

[Secret Fawful]

http://i.imgur.com/6e0Dn.jpg :p

[Silverwolfpet]

Oh, you guys are still waiting? Awesome!

Rendering now then sending it to Alan.

[Silverwolfpet]

Sorry for the double post, I just sent it to Alan. He should be putting it on the blog any moment now :D

(if he didn't go to bed, what time is it over there anyway? I can never do the math properly)

[Secret Fawful]

It should be 5:25 PM where he is, I think.

[tarasis]

*taps fingers and sings a childhood song* Why are we waiting, we are hibernating, oh why are we waiting for this to happen ...

Sorry, just excited and impatient at the same time :)

[skeeter]

I'm ready!

*taps fingers and sings a childhood song* Why are we waiting, we are hibernating, oh why are we waiting for this to happen ...

Sorry, just excited and impatient at the same time :)

We used to sing 'Why are we waiting, we are dehydrating..." at school...

[tarasis]

Hadn't heard that one, the couple of versions I found on google where less ... clean like "could be masturbating". I guess I went to a more sheltered school :)

[monkeymovies]

Ours was
"Why are we waiting? We are suffocating!"

[Origami]

Okay this one I am going to really pass on. I had trouble watching the BttF tribute because I was in it but in the end I was glad and it was a beautiful production. But to hear my self sing!!!! No way Jose(what a lame expression lol). Or I'll put it on mute.

[TheBlueBadger]

He should be putting it on the blog any moment now :D

I am also very ready! 8D
And a moment seems to be awfully long in America?
Choose your words wisely, SWP, don't get people hyped in the middle of the night!

[Silverwolfpet]

You should bug Alan right now, it's no longer in my hands. :)

But really, don't bug Alan, he's got a lot on his mind right now. I just hope you'll like it. And you won't sue me or anything.

[Secret Fawful]

If I was working at Telltale Games, I would have had it up already, damnity damn it.

[Alan Johnson]

Here's the video! A big thanks to Andrei and all of the Telltale fans that contributed to the video! You guys ALL rock! :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBw6y8puNz8

[Cyphox]

omg, it's so touching, i'm almost crying

telltale, we love you!

[Secret Fawful]

Woooeee! I knew my eyebrows would make it into the video! :D

[divisionten]

Soooo cute!

[monkeymovies]

WOO!! It's done!
That was...amazing. The chorus's were amazingly done and everybody was given great moments throughout.
:)

It was great to work with you all. I'm here if you decide to do another one, Silver.

-monkey

[Cyphox]

who's the elder guy with the glasses and the wannabe-beard?

looks very likeable. and i saw him in the other video on the blog too, in the audition scenes. you're kind of weird in a good way :D

[mathman77]

Pretty good video. I just hope the song doesn't get stuck in my head!

[divisionten]

Pretty good video. I just hope the song doesn't get stuck in my head!

Too late for me.

[tarasis]

Awesome. Great job everyone! Thanks to SWP for doing it in the first place and Alan & TTG for being good sports (or just insane).

Next time I'll know to put the camera in landscape and not portrait :)

[tarasis]

Lol who are you calling elder, im only 34 (admittedly shockingly grey and the beard adds years, hence i often keep it). Thank you though ... I think :)

I'm also the loon singing the "it's your heart and my heart dah dah dah" in the background towards the very end.

[Cyphox]

i'm sorry. get rid of the beard i say!

just kidding, you look like a very likeable person, no matter what.

dont see it as "looking older", see it as "looking much wiser and more intelligent than others" :D

i'd like to grow myself a little beard too, but all my collegues at work keep saying: "Shave, SHAVE, SHAVEEEEEE!!!!"

they also force me to go to the barber regularely. god, i hate this. i love my hair, i want it to grow free.

[doggans]

I loved getting to work on this (even though my footage looks more washed-out than I remember). So great to see it all together!

[Weeblerjake]

Well, I'm happy with it! Very cool result, I'd be happy to do something like this again.

[Silverwolfpet]

Yaaay, I'm happy you guys liked it!

Thanks Alan for helping out and thanks everybody for joining in! :D

[monkeymovies]

I can only imagine what our Jurassic Park tribute could be...

[Silverwolfpet]

Oh, here's the song for your ipod or mp3 player.

And instrumental version, if you wanna go all karaoke with it :p

My wife would agree with you but laziness takes a hold. The hair is because I like the mad professor look. Every so often it gets shaved off to about 18mm and is left to grow again. So I say to you, ignore them let your hair run free!

I can only imagine what our Jurassic Park tribute could be...

can I apply for the role of John Hammond now? By the time JP is out I should be completely grey ;)

Reminds me I got my degree from Dickie Attenborough, he was the chancellor of my Uni when I graduated (Sussex University back in 1999). Was a quick shake of the hand, here's your degree, goodbye type of affair but still fun

[ElvishVamp]

The video is awesome! The voodoo cards on the tree just made my day!

I can only imagine what our Jurassic Park tribute could be...

I think that would be amazing! If we do one, I'm in!

[Laserschwert]

Fantastic video, great work everybody and especially to Andrei, who so relentlessly churns out impressive fan stuff :)

Now, if only I knew which face in the video belongs to which name in the credits...

[monkeymovies]

The video is awesome! The voodoo cards on the tree just made my day!

Thanks!

[Trackah123]

Voices turned out really well, noise reduction worked great!
I'm in the credits woohoo :D

Nice video.. awesomeness! :D

[Weeblerjake]

It's always weird for me to see myself on TV, youtube, etc... but as I keep watching this, I'm getting used to it... I'm happy that I participated.

[Remolay]

This turned out interesting (Interesting usually means good to me)

I was glad to be a part of it.

[Origami]

I am too scared to watch but I am glad to see Tarasis receiving props for his apppearance. I thought the guy was awesome in the BttF Tribute and he had my mom laughing.

[mathman77]

You can't stand to hear yourself sing that much? I thought I was the only person like that! When I do animations, I make sure I do little to no voice acting for the same reason. I wish I'd get over that, I do like doing impressions.

Anyway, you really should watch the video. It was great, and the unisons will make your voice less noticable.

[skeeter]

It was fantastic! Definately worth waiting for! Well done everyone :o)

And tarasis, I'm 32 and have the opposite problem - on my 24th birthday I was asked if I was turning 17... but now the grey hairs are appearing...

[tarasis]

Skeeter: oh no, that's got to be annoying at times. I've been turning grey since I was 16, but these last couple of years it's been accelerating; I blame being a stay at home dad :)

I am too scared to watch

Seriously don't be, it's lots of fun. I've watched it about 6 times so far, the tune/song is so damn addictive.

I am also curious who everyone else in the video is, including the first guy in the smoking jacket and Christmas hat. It was great to see women involved as well, it often just feels like its a 'net full of men :) Also whats with the photo of lots of Asian people, are they all TTG fans?

That's my art club in Soka University in Hachioji City, Tokyo- I'm the blonde chick with the sketchbook. They helped me make a Telltale comic for the Halloween contest (whose first page you can see in the photo and which you can view in its entirety here (http://www.theotaku.com/fancomics/view/8695/halloween_in_the_big_apple)).

I'm the woman in the blue yukata (summer kimono) with really frizzy blonde hair and black glasses during the actual video.

[Silverwolfpet]

Hm, people seem to want to know who is who in the video. My bad, it didn't occur to me that I should write your names there. Hm... I could post screenshots here, with the names of everyone. Would that be ok?

Initially the clip was supposed to be posted through the TTG youtube account, but they had minor technical difficulties. That's why I waited so long before posting the clip, it is actually a semi-official TellTale clip which, I hope, will be posted every year to remind the next generation of fans how awesome TellTale is and what this community really means. Epic phrase: Therefore, my X-Mas gift to you is immortalization-ness on the TellTale Blog! ...or something along those lines. :p

You guys tell me how would you like to see your name up there, along with your clip, and I'll see to it :)

[tarasis]

Initially the clip was supposed to be posted through the TTG youtube account, but they had minor technical difficulties.

Is that the polite form of "they forgot the password"? :)

*Shrug* happy with either tarasis or Robert "tarasis" McGovern.

I am also curious who everyone else in the video is, including the first guy in the smoking jacket and Christmas hat.

That'd be me. Hi!

[Silverwolfpet]

Is that the polite form of "they forgot the password"? :)


Nope, in the real form of "youtube automatically updates the main video feed on our site and we couldn't find a wuick way to work around that".

Our video is nice, but it's not exactly a product-related video. Important thing is that we enjoyed it before we went all Easter Sunday.

[skeeter]

I suppose I should be happy, my mum doesn't look her age either, so it means I'll stay young looking for longer... And that's a good idea, I can blame my grey hairs on 15 years of working with young children!

[Origami]

Great video! I just watched it now that the hype has subdeud LOL :P

[tarasis]
