Today was Awesome!!!
I was very inspired today by your enthusiasm and dedication to the giant task ahead of us. Honestly, we accomplished so much, and I really feel as if we're on the right track in every possible way. Let's keep up the good work! Thanks to everyone who came and accepted tasks. You made me believe in this idea even more!
Anyway, keep in touch with me, and let me know about your progress. If you can finish your work by Wednesday, that would be awesome. If not, then, I'll see you Wednesday, and we'll figure it out. OK? Thanks again.

I am ready to do anything and everything to make this awesome. Fair warning, I'll be asking as much as possible for things to do if i can't find things to do myself.
Hey Mr. Bair,
I have already inquired about the whole orchestra thing, and here's how it stands so far:
*There is a recording program at Shepherd University
*It costs money, but I don't know how much yet
*Still awaiting permission to use the orchestra itself
Hope this works out!
Ian
Storyboarding is taken care of (for me, at least)!
stave 1. (p. 1-8) Done! :)
I'm so excited, I bet I've pressed refresh more than Cody James has!!
AN IMPOSSIBLE AMOUNT OF PAGE REFRESHING FOR A MERE MORTAL, SARAH.
Anyway I just finished my storyboards, I'll come in before first period tomorrow and drop them off.
Also I sent you an email about my cinematography thing, M Bairman.
Thanks everyone....I finally made it to the computer....sick man...but I'll be OK.
MjB
Feel better. I'll drop my storyboards off in the morning, too then. I wanna be cool like Madeleine!
Mr. Bair
If you can use my help on technical or construction work let me know. Don't have a lot of availability other than weekends, but willing to help out when I can...
I try to check in on the blog every day or two, but you should have e-mail and phone if you want to contact me through more reliable means...
--Travis
Hey Travis!
Good to hear from you. I still have your version of Puerto Rico. Would you like to play some time? I would love your help once I'm 100% sure what I need. Thanks.
MjB
Sarah....doesn't everyone want to be like Madeleine?
MjB
I guess if you're fond of little yellow caps and dresses, and neat orderly lines.....
Mr.Bair
I have come Acrossed a version of " A christmass Carol" That i Enjoyed Very much and I thought i would share it with you
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hA5T1G7rxg
Oh! Aaron I really like that one. It's really condensed and the tones lack a bit but I really like the visuals!
Aaron...that version uses Michael Redgrave's voice, Allister Simm as Scrooge, and Chuck Jones animated it. What did you expect?
MjB
P.S. If you don't know who any of those folks are, ignore me!
Ooopps..that's Alistair Sim.
MjB
Would love to play again sometime.
And I have my set, so you must have someone else's set...
--Travis
Oh brother...that's the third set left in my room. Yoy...

HEY MR. BAIR
If I would enjoy playing a part that isn't one of the six you mentioned, do I still have to go to the audition tomorrow?
also I just watched my cinematography project and it's about 70% fart jokes.
Fart jokes are a gas. Anyway, no, you do not need to audition tomorrow, but it doesn't hurt your chances for bigger things.
MjB
Mr.Bair. Do you have any idea what time the auditions will run to tomorrow?
Meaning I will have a better chance being Girl In Street #4 if I audition?
Also Movie Maker is being stupid like a Windows program and won't publish my project with video.
Sam...probably around 6:00. Yes, Madeleine, but in the case of #4, probably not.
MjB
Thanks that works perfectly!
Mr. Bair,
I imagine you will be in the auditorium tomorrow? I'm not auditioning, but I need to talk to you.
Ian
Would I be wrong in thinking there weren't that many drama 1s at the audition? Or am I just a bit cooky? (Don't answer that)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR.BAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!
كل سنة و انت طيب
Ծնունդդ շնորհավոր!
お誕生日おめでとうございます!
Hope the rest of your day is better....
Bair,
We are currently painting my house and have a lot of extra paint, some semi gloss some eggshell finish... would it be good for me to bring it in? we have no other use for it and i mean hey free paint right???
~Brianne
Rachael,
Thanks. I had a very lovely evening, and I feel much better. I appreciate the sentiment. I also enjoyed the Armenian script, unless it says, "Mr. Bair (insert a certain Johnson's voice), you are a craphead." Thanks.
MjB
P.S. What is the rest? Chinese? Tai? Japanese?
Brianne,
Sure! That would be great. All paint is good paint...unless...it smells like eggs....
MjB
Okay, sorry I never got the chance to get back to you last nigh. Won't happen again. But here's my update:
- Cole said that he will have the script for you by Monday
- Kevin said he will do the prop list. I told him to have it by Monday
- I did the list of scene locations and I'm curently working on the 'To Build' list
SPEAKING OF WHICH!
Can anybody think of things that need to be built? If you do, please post it here and I'll add it to the list. I just don't want to forget anything >_<
THANKS ALL! Have a great weekend!
The stave. Not the script....He'll have his stave finished.
Mr. Bair,
The last one is in Japanese.
No, it does not say "you are craphead". :P
Also, did you say the stop action needs to be 3 minutes? I have 491 pictures thus far, but it's only about 1.5 minutes....
*Correction, I have 935 images and it is 2 minutes long. :/

Mr Bair,
Considering how Film makeup is much different than Stage make up, I thought I would give you this link,
http://www.zombiemaker.com/makeup/basic_latex_skin
It tells how to make realistic looking wrinkles, the same technique they used on theoden in LOTR if you recall.
Its supposedly very cheap and easy.
Soory about the multiple deletes.
Good Luck, Matthew
Bair,
The paint doesnt smell like eggs its new.... I must say i felt pretty cool when i was helping out with the painting because i knew what to do....well im a dorky person like that. i'll have the paint either at the end of this week or the begining of next week because we are procrastinators and wont be done all the painting until then.

Hey Mr. Bair,
The Irish Repertory Theatre is doing a production of the Emperor Jones. Apparently the man who directed it also directed the Hairy Ape. I read Emperor Jones for one of my classes and really enjoyed it. Anywho here is the link.

Thanks Ryan and Matt. Matthew, I was already a bit ahead of you, but it's all good. I kind of like that site a hair better.
MjB
EVERYONE WAITING FOR A SCHEDULE/CAST LIST....IT SHOULD BE POSTED BY 7:00-8:00.
MjB
I'm so anxious~
I'm not even acting and I'm nervous.
Great. I'll be watching time pass minute by minute for the next five hours. My tummy is all in a knot from nerves.
It's been decided. I've hit the refresh button more times than Cody James today. (And Cody was the judge of this)
GGGGGGAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO POST A SIMILAR "AHHHH", JACOB!
AHHHHHHHHHH!
everyone is crazy. i love it. anxious also!!!!! cant wait to see!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am a refreshing demon!
i know what i said
GRRRRAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
Jacob, we both are at the moment. so =P
Haha, I hate being nervous. This is really exciting.
Cranahashtaflawk!
I wish there was a like button on the comments or in life. But with a dislike button too.
AAAHHH THE CAST LIST. I HOPE I GET BIG BIRD.
Uruk khazad! khazad ai manu!
To quote the immortal words of Mark Johnson, "WHAT THE CRAP!" It's only been 30 minutes? UHG!
For the record, when I posted to comment and the page refreshed, I saw there was one more comment than before and was really nervous/excited before I scrolled down and realized it was me.
(Nervous blabbering!)
I'm working on it. Probably another hour.....sorry....
MjB
GGGGGGAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh well
thanks for the update
HAHAHA! Everyone's anticipation is increasing. Good job Bair, you know how to be a jerk.
P.S. From Sam: Grrrr, why?! I've been waiting all day. :(
Mr. Bair is a master of suspense. He should at least give us one now.
One name every 5 minutes.
A jerk....if want me to be a jerk, I can be. I'm sorry...Sunday is dedicated to God and my boys. At 8:00, I turn back into a teacher. (Sticking tongue out at Mitch!)
MjB
One name every 5 minutes Sarah?!!? This isn't a hostage crisis...or is it?! I'm freakin' out over here man!
I'm willing to negotiate for whatever we can get, Cole.
Cole's right. Every thirty seconds would be much more appropriate.
And that Scrooge picture is starting to really annoy me because every time I refresh, it's there!
I know Exactly what you mean nic! (Hense my Facebook status)
Seven minutes until I explode...
This is exactly like that one movie that was on TV a while back, it may have had Keanu Reeves in it, it was called...Speed. You happen to catch that Nick?
I think I did. It was on a Sunday, right?
I am down to two individuals. Then, I pray, find comfort, and post. Patience....
MjB
AHHHHHHHH! My F5 button is crying.
i am not a patient child =[ but i suppose i can hold offf for a few more minutes. the amount of refreshing i have been doing is insane
I've exploded.
Patience?! How could I listen to Guns n' Roses at a time like this?!
Now who is going to be the witty, curly-headed guy?
Well, Cody has curly hair...
Aww I was rereading the last 2009 girls acdemy post ealier today and it talked about how the blog used to be a social thing for the whole class. This reminds me of that!
One more child to cast...I'm that close...
MjB
Need any help?
avdhyayroiayfgaihsfblajksfh :x
Brianne- I was just thinking that earlier. Especially because I was totally accidentally a part of that socializing some nights...
AHHH! ONE MORE!
Yes, could you create one more giant female part in this story please?
MjB
Scrooge's Mom?
Reverting to fetal position....now.
GGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, the ghost of christmas past takes Scrooge back to the stone age, where he meets a tribe of amazonians, and they tell him that if he doesn't love everyone they'll travel to the future and eat him. Then the rest of the story happens.
The Ghost of the Past's Past?
MjB
And they all have the same amount of importance and lines
So, Giant Amazonian Warrior Women?
Exactly
Cody loves nick's idea.
I need to call Ari...hang on....
MjB
CAN THAT BE MY PART?!?! IM GOOD AT BEING AN AMAZON.
Also. Sarah. You just called your best friend Brianne. WHAT.WHAT.
Dear Ari,
What?
Love,
Sarah
=[ i am so confused awwww
Burn.
OMG I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONBE AND I AM THE AMAZONIAN GHOST OF XMAS PAST PAST ITS AMAZING OMGGGG OMGGG.
I GOTTA GO PRACTICE BEING CUMBERSOME.
HOLY CRAP, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY ANYMORE.
I'm very sorry everyone but: The Game.
NNNOOOOO!!!!!!!
Not necessary(sp?) Cole...
Why.....?
