Forecast: SNOW!
The "Snowstorm in Myrtle Beach" video is coming along very slowly ... for reasons unknown (which we assume to be the cold), the audio is all messed up. The first half of the day, you can't understand any of the audio ... it gets better as it warms up, but still not great so we have had to add subtitles to all the dialog - which is a good idea even with good audio, but still time consuming.
We have finally laid down all the video ... it has been very difficult editing this, and we have had to compromise and sacrifice. Due to the nature of this illusion, there are no second takes; we cannot go back and reshoot parts that didn't come out just right. We even had to alter the ending from what we envisioned, but that is also a good thing because we like it even more now.
Rest assured, this will be well worth the wait! We're talking real snow here, not that fake snow the other magicians produce! This is no staged illusion - in this video you will see my neighbors handle the snow to ensure it is real, you will see cars passing by stop to wonder how, even the cops make a stop to find out just what the heck is going on ... this is street magic on steroids!!!
Some snapshots to tease you with ... we get the party started with a barehanded snow production ... there are no snow machines, no chemicals, no powders:
Less than twenty minutes later, there is six inches of snow on the ground! I believe this to be a powerful shot highlighting the majestic nature of this illusion:
Here I'm talking to the camera while my neices work on the snowman ... this was more fun than you can imagine!
Ok so how long will it be? We have no idea! Honestly, no idea. While we have all the video laid down, we still need to record the voice overs (since we lost a lot of audio, I will be doing some narration). We also need to add a music score and in my experience, music can be time consuming. We would publish an ETA, but we don't want to lock ourselves into something like that ... we want this video to be really good, so we are going to work on it till we are done. Sorry for the delay.
