It seems that movie-making and/or ruckus rousing is becoming a more
serious pasttime for me. This year the Lindy Focus crew brought me out
just to be a "Shenanigans Director" which was lots of fun. I didn't teach
this year - presumably this won't become a trend where movie making replaces
my teaching career, but once in a while is entertaining enough.
And this year we went big - I think these movies are a little more
accessible to the general Lindy Hop world - I really enjoyed the films
and skits nad presentations
we did in 2008,
but they don't really make much sense to non-LF attendees, whereas
this has a slightly more complete storyline even if you weren't there.
The only things you really need to know are:
- We had puppets at Lindy Focus this year (thanks to Morgan K) which
were the "LF Mascots" - we used them at the meeting once, but should have
used them more. That's why they keep showing up in the videos. We have
a video written for one of the puppets and Mikey Pedroza that we didn't
get a chance to film, sadly.
- People
- I love zombies.
- The bathtub lab/time machine joke is a reference to the
time travel video
from Lindy Focus in 2008.
- No, that is not actually Reuel's scream.
- The elevator sudden change of tone joke in part III is completely
ripped off from the "Food Rap" skit by Olde English Comedy.
- One of my favorite lines was cut off, when I go outside
and say "Oh look, it's a North Carolina Hillbilly!"
(referring to MC extraordinaire Andrew Thigpen)
