Help us make a video! MeganS and I have been kicking around an idea for some time, but we're stuck and need your input. The idea is for me to make a video of my Yorkies romping around in the snow (Rusty may have to sub for injured Eddie ;) ) and then pair the video with Megan singing a winter-themed song. Could be about snow, Christmas, cold, you name it. Megan sings like an angel (I know, I know, hard to believe with such a bratty mouth), and I think it would be cool to give it a try. She's versatile, but describes her favorites as "ballads geared toward musical theater." She said something about "belting," too, but I don't know what that is. :p Soooooo, our question for you guys is, what winter-themed song should Megan sing? Depending on the song, I might tailor the video to fit the music, but the idea is to have it shot outdoors in the snow. For those who haven't heard Megan sing or seen my Yorkies play in the snow, here are a couple vids to give you the idea. Here's Megan at last summer's meetup in Alexandria: And here's a fall-themed video of my pups |
Is it possible for you to do a beautiful night scene that has maybe a lot of Christmas lights sparkling on the snow? Do you have homes with outside lights, or a town close by that has lighted windows reflecting in the snow? The song could be "Walking in a Winter Wonderland". Could even have the snowman somewhere. Maybe you could film the blue bird or some type of bird during the day and edit it into the movie? Maybe even have one scene where Rusty is pulling Eddie and Jillie in a little wagon? Sounds like a fun project. |

I was thinking Walking in a Winter Wonderland, too. I don't know why, it's always been one of my favorites. I agree with the Christmas lights type theme. It'd be such a good video to see a few Yorkies (and a Lab who thinks he's a yorkie) "walkin' in a winter wonderland!" :p with Xmas decorations and Christmas lights in the background... Hmm, sounds like an interesting idea. I can't wait to see how it plays out. |
Thank you so much for your suggestions, guys!! :D bytheway...isingbetterthanthatnow.blargh. |

I used to be all into my high school plays, choir, etc and I got out of it... I'm not sure why, either 'cause it was so much fun. You're so talented! |
Megan DOES sing like an angel -- and I don't care what Bad Boy Mike says, she IS an Angel. Why not sing one of my favorite fun Christmas songs -- Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer. Mike you can play the part of Grandma and substitute a Moose for the Reindeer. They look a lot alike anyway. |
Yeah! Oh, I just can't wait until this project is posted! I LOVE your videos!:aimeeyork |
Thanks, everybody, and great suggestions. I think you may be onto something with Walking in a Winter Wonderland. Night videos can be difficult, but it might be a fun challenge. And, LOL, I was thinking of Grandma got run over by a reindeer too. But in my vision, I WASN'T GRANDMA! Maybe I can get Rusty to trample one of the Yorkies again. :p I can't vouch for Megan being any better than she was in July, but I will say she SOUNDED much, much better live. Youtube audio doesn't do her voice justice. She's got one of those voices that leave you with chills. |
Here are the Winter Wonderland lyrics. I love it. They even mention an Eskimo. ;) Sleigh bells ring, are you listening, In the lane, snow is glistening A beautiful sight, We're happy tonight. Walking in a winter wonderland. Gone away is the bluebird, Here to stay is a new bird He sings a love song, As we go along, Walking in a winter wonderland. In the meadow we can build a snowman, Then pretend that he is Parson Brown He'll say: Are you married? We'll say: No man, But you can do the job When you're in town. Later on, we'll conspire, As we dream by the fire To face unafraid, The plans that we've made, Walking in a winter wonderland. In the meadow we can build a snowman, And pretend that he's a circus clown We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman, Until the other kids knock him down. When it snows, ain't it thrilling, Though your nose gets a chilling We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way, Walking in a winter wonderland. |

Sorry I'm so late seeing this and responding ... I was thinking maybe a medley of Christmas songs might be nice ... and a bit more flexible when trying to mix it up????? |

Of course by the time I shoot and edit the video and Megan records and sends me the music, it may be NEXT Christmas. ;) |
