Your wish is my command.

Everytime we upload it to the web, the video quality goes way down -- also, we're still working on the smoke and flame effects -- but here's a link to an experimental cut of Saturday's footage. It will only be online for a day or two, so that everyone involved in making the video can see it. Then it will be gone.

And you would have looked perfect in white face paint and a white wig, too.

(sigh) I see that everyone is ignoring my plea over in the lounge for digital photos of snowy landscape. Don't some of the people who frequent this place live in the frozen north?

Maybe snow is too commonplace in those frigid climes for the inhabitants to take pictures of it.

Awesome Teresa! I love the fight!

And I'm sorry I live in central Cal now... no snow here.

[carrie221]

We have snow but no mountains here so... and no we are so use to snow we don't take pictures of just snow

PS the video was cute

It looks great, Teresa! Good work :-)

[Teresa Edgerton]

More footage. This part isn't as exciting, but it is pretty, and John will be editing in some sword fights, magic, etc. as we film them.

Ow I really liked it, damn it's just great!.
I can't wait to see the whole thing. I actually even prefer this part to the precious. You are really putting something great together.

[Mark Robson]

That's just great, Teresa! I want one now ... I think I'll be emailing S & S tomorrow.

[Teresa Edgerton]

Thanks, Scalem. I think it looks good, too, but I hate the way the quality varies on YouTube. Sometimes the picture is almost as good as the original, and other times it goes fuzzy and the movement looks choppy. I hope there will be a way to set up the eventual video on my website or somewhere that it can be played on QuickTime and viewed properly.

Mark, maybe in your case your publisher would foot the bill.

I can't imagine what this would be costing if we didn't have so many free resources and incredible volunteers. (As it is, expenses are rising pretty fast.)

This is great! Now I'm going to have to read the book again...

Excellent! Gorgeous shot of the dark figures toiling up the hill against the silvery background.

Another frantic day of filming. Carolyn (Brown Rat) stopped by for a visit and was forcibly coerced into donning a costume (two costumes, actually) and participating.

She didn't seem to realize that once she had that nasty-looking pole weapon with the hook in her hands, she could have forced us to do what she wanted.
