Xmas vid 2018

A reminder of what we've done before (1st one was done trying to use underpowered PCs in my 1st weeks here, thus the greenscreen gaps)







CHOICES
And here's the 2018 contenders.
Think about these when selecting:

• length (longer = more work?!)
• pace/style: how might people move/dance to it?
• lyrics: a lot to cover? any visual ideas?
• greenscreen: what visuals might you edit behind the performers?
• the band/artist/costume: any clear ideas?
• props?
• instruments: how few/many could be filmed (quicker + easier than lipsynching, helps to get more involved/onscreen)

SHAKEY (lyrics)

With or without the long intro from the video (lyric video is just 3:41 without this)

Lyric phrases: snow is falling; children playing; people dancing

MONTY PYTHON (lyrics)

The weird outsider...

Lyric phrases: film refs; 'everyone looks smart + wears a tie'; 'Sony Walkmans + latest video games'

HARRY (lyrics)

Crooner + kid.

Lyric phrases: sleigh bells, build a snowman, circus clown

WIZZARD (lyrics)

Like Slade a classic that 99% will recognise?!? Glam rockers, saxophones, 

Wizzard it is - and here's our lyric timing sheet:

TRAIN (lyrics)

A possible late contender suggested by Amy (note the heteronormative lyrics!)
