Movie Madness

[slow quiet classical music intro, dark set with highlight on narrator]
Okay, I have to admit, I have been bitten by the bug of making my own movies.

[crescendo to suspense - closeup to narrator's eyes]
Recently I bought a cheap digital camera that also records video with audio up to the size of memory you have. While it is not the best quality, it allowed me to experiment and think about things. Then using the freebie movie maker software with windows, I was able to put a simple movie together.

[triumphant fanfare - camera pulls back to reveal gothic set]
Now this gets my mind to perking. Granted, it probably hiccups more than perks right now, but still, I have ideas... Yes, ideas...

[sound of maniacal laughter with werewolf howl in the distance]

[fade to outside setting with sunshine - happy tune plays softly]
So one of the things my little family will be doing this summer, is writing, directing, filming, and producing a short film. I think that with the creativity of my kids, they can really come up with something. And if we also pull in their friends into our little plan, our little scheme, our little revelry, this can be a lot of fun.

[happy tune fades to melancholy minor chords]
I don't think Spielberg has any worries though. I don't think we will be gunning for an Oscar, unless its Oscar the Grouch. And special effects will have to be not so special. But, we shall try all the same.

[music transitions to hero theme - camera closes in on narrator]
And in the end, we shall prevail, and we shall return, and we shall overcome, and we shall do other metaphors and idioms.

[slow fade to black - sounds of The Chicken Dance played at 1/2 speed played softly]
