Gishwhes day 2

[tripperfunster]

I may have some things we completed out of order, but Sunday seemed to be more prep than actual accomplishments. Lots of the items seemed to be "Get someone in X location to do Y" One of them was kids blowing bubbles in a plaza in Mexico. (item 192) Julie had friends there that send us some pics, but sadly, the camera was pretty low res. Oh well, better than nothing!



We also had to get a video of item 196: Record yourself and friends singing a quartet rendition of Carry on My Wayward Son" in an amphitheater after you google-translate it into at least three other languages and then back to English.
We actually had to do this quite a few times to get anything remotely funny. ??

Item: 156 Let's see a conquistador riding a giant tortoise or a man throwing a frisbee to an iguana which catches it in its mouth. Only because I think you deserve an easy item or two here and there, this should be done as a zoetrope versus doing it with actual tortoises and iguanas. You're welcome.

Kind of too bad, since I have a giant tortoise, but animation is fun too. This item wasn't completed until the end of the week (due to video making issues) but the actual zoetrope was finished pretty quickly.

I think this was one of the favourite things I did all week.

Aw you little devil - you did both the iguana AND the conquistador! It was a bugger to film, wasn't it though? My vid looks terrible.

Hee! Yes, I did both. It was HORRIBLE to film! We tried with a good camera, a bad camera, iPhone 4, iphone5 and even different video settings, and none of them looked great, hence me making that gif to put at the end, so you could actually SEE wtf I did.

Where is yours? I'd love to see it. I haven't seen ANY zoetropes, aside from one, and it was a digital animation, not a zoetrope at all.

I made a gif too but didn't put it in the vid! It wasn't a very good gif either ha ha ha...I just posted my zoetrope vid on my page if you want to have a shufty. Then you can pat yourself on the back LOL

*applauds* I'm really enjoying these.

Thank you! They were a blast to do. Who the hell comes up with this stuff??

Hahah awesome! My sister's best friend has been doing this thing for the past....I dont remember either 3 or 4 years. She's gotten me to do artsy crap for her for these challenges. So every time I see Gishwhes I think of her. She hijacked our family get together (which consisted of at least 35 people) to get us to all go outside and lay in the grass to form the letters to spell Gishwhes a few years ago :)

Yes, everyone I know gets roped into doing things. And lots of people I don't know too!
