vid - I Wish It Was Christmas Today - Parks & Recreation, 30 Rock, The Office, and Community

[kiki_miserychic]

Posting while still slightly drunk and drinking, so point out if I've cocked something up because I probably have. Why am I doing this when nearly everyone else is drunk or hungover too? Whatev, have a CHRISTMAS VID.

vid title: I Wish It Was Christmas Today audio: Julian Casablancas' cover of Saturday Night Live's "I Wish It Was Christmas Today" source: Parks & Recreation, 30 Rock, The Office, and Community duration: 2:13 spoilers: Only the Christmas episodes

summary: A silly, fun vid using NBC's Thursday night comedies.
notes: First and only draft beta-ed by my niece who said, "that's cool, poopey, make them dance again." Includes talky yelly face and is extremely late. beccatoria suggested that it's like an unopened present after the holiday. Made for the LULZ.

lyrics
I don't care what the neighbors say
Christmastime is near
I don't care what anyone says
Christmas is full of cheer
All I know is that Santa's sleigh
Is makin' it's way to the U.S.A.
I wish it was Christmas today, oh

I wish it was Christmas today
I wish it was Christmas today, oh, oh
I wish it was Christmas today
I wish it was Christmas today, oh, oh
All I know is that Santa Claus
Don't care about breaking or applying laws
I wish it was, I wish it was,
Wish it was, wish it was, oh

I don't care about anything else
Christmas is almost here
And I don't care what the newsman said
Christmas is full of cheer
I don't care about anything
Except hearing those sleigh bells a'ring-a-ding ding
I wish it was Christmas today
In the good old US of A

I wish it was Christmas today
I wish it was Christmas today, oh, oh
I wish it was Christmas today
I wish it was Christmas today, oh, oh
Santa's bringin' goodies to the boys and girls
In every nook and cranny of this crazy ass world
I want it, I want it,
I want it, I want it

finally catching up! my present got REALLY buried in the closet. this is super fun! I'm curious how long it took you to make, and if you were drunk the whole time -- you are totally a Cylon Vidding Machine. sitcoms are so hard to vid, but you really captured their quirky and charming tone here (like beccatoria said, ha).

It didn't take long. I started it and got sidetracked with so many things to do. I think it was two days with technical bullshit getting in the way.

The fake documentary style of Parks & Rec and The Office helped the stale camera work. I looked for more interesting camera moves and framing in Community and 30 Rock to balance.
