Strange and hilarious loved it

[geoff1945]

@cjwaywell - Glad to be the source of strangeness and hilarity Chris! lol

[LittleFawn60]

I love this!! So many ideas went thru my head ! What program are you running? This is so cute!!!!

X

[geoff1945]

@LittleFawn60 - Thanks Dancing Donae! This is the head of one my puppets superimposed on my body. I put together a short video to try to explain it. I'll send it to you and I'll send you one I did as a private spoof on Wolfgang's 'Jesse James' I'm sure he won't mind as its you. My program is just AVS. I do the animation myself. Really its just like cutting and pasting except with movie images.This was also making an opportunity to mess around with my keyboard. x

[geoff1945]

Good suggestion, Matt but they need a supporting act. Did try a tour but they couldn't find the venues.....Lost Trios! (I don't write this material!)

Thanks for the kind comment and see you in Harlem...if we get there!

[airwolf8087]

They should consider going on tour - they're great ! :-)

[profwaldo]

This was great man !!! Great fun, cool vid effects. I really enjoyed it !!!

[geoff1945]

@profwaldo - Thank Prof. and any one of them could have been you! LOL

[ImOfTheWoods]

Geoff, this is really cute & well done! Hey, those guys have your picking style. Enjoyed your imagination & creativity very much!

[geoff1945]

[prboyd]

Very cool video Geoff!

[geoff1945]

@prboyd - Thanks for visiting Phil!

[Hamburg4U]

cool :D

[geoff1945]

@Hamburg4U - Thanks Christian.

[peelgirl]

hehehe... very creative".... awesome!

[geoff1945]

@peelgirl - Thanks Tawana. Los Trios are a band of 'never-have-beens' reduced to playing for kind comments on Youtube. Im their support act so what does that say about me? LOL

[musicfamily]

Amazing! how did you do this?

[geoff1945]

@musicfamily - Basically it is two videos both on a black background one of the puppet and another of me. Using AVS I overlay the head over my head and remove the black so only the head can be seen. I did this for each figure and then placed them onto the stage photo. I use black screen because I find it easier to control the light. you have to avoid wearing dark colours as they disappear wth the black screen. It takes time but it is quite easy to do.

[musicfamily]

@geoff1945 Very advanced technique. Must have taken quite a bit of time.

[geoff1945]

@musicfamily - Nah! Just he flick of a thumb.LOL

[memphis3dude]

Very melodic Geoff, and a remarkably smooth production! If it had a different signature, I would have suggested "The Puppet Polka" for a title, and although there are 3 amigos presenting, I know you had a hand in it too, lol. Good stuff my friend. Cheerz mate :-)

[geoff1945]

@memphis3dude - Thanks Len. Your title would work as I guess that could describe the puppeteer! Hmmm. LOL

[sherrywine1941]

A STANDING OVATION !!!  Totally enjoyed..

Sherry

[geoff1945]

@sherrywine1941 - Thank you for that Sherry but please sit down as the lady behind can't see. He-he! x

[jennifergwaine]

Bravo!!!! Clap clap clap!!! Love it!

[geoff1945]

@jennifergwaine - Thank goodness Jennifer! You have augmented the applause measure on the clapometer!

[ianbrown3003]

Ha! This is brilliant! Disturbing, but good :-)

[geoff1945]

@ianbrown3003 - Thanks Ian. Now you won't be having any nightmares will you?

[ianbrown3003]

@geoff1945 I'll lay off the cheese before bed time so I should be OK :-D

[geoff1945]

@ianbrown3003 - Wise decision!

[FolkAndMore]

Haha! That was terrific!! You are so crazy, Geoff! And I mean this as a huge compliment!!! Thanks for making me laugh!...Wolfgang

[geoff1945]

@FolkAndMore - Just glad us old fellows can make you smile, Wolfgang. Is given me an idea your girls might like. Hmmm......

[sserddab]

Didn't know which one was you till you waved.

[geoff1945]

@sserddab - Ha! I saw you in the audience Mike. Had to let you know.

[lovegermanshepherds]

How entertaining Geoff

I thank you for sharing

Cheyenne

[geoff1945]

@lovegermanshepherds - Hey Thank you Cheyenne.

[VNTPLA]

Hi, Geoff, fummy work. I've got a song in mind, a sort of Bellamybrotherized country and a same slower rhytmn could fit perfectly as instrumental to gather in the tail....!

[geoff1945]

@VNTPLA - Yo got me interested now, Paul! Play on!

[VerusiunctiO]

Maravilloso! ! ! =)

[geoff1945]

@VerusiunctiO -Molto gracia!

@JAMMINJIMMYBENNETT - Thanks Jimmy. Was that you on the keyboard?

[JAMMINJIMMYBENNETT]

[fourty5mag]

Way cool Geoff!!

[geoff1945]

@fourty5mag - Thanks Richard! That you on guitar there?

[fourty5mag]

@geoff1945 I kind of suspected that you were influenced somewhat by me!! LOL!!

[geoff1945]

@fourty5mag - LOL

[geoff1945]

@CharmedQuarkZ99 - what animation software, Richard? That's the real me! LOL

[carrolly2k]

Muy Bien!!!

[geoff1945]

@carrolly2k LOL Gracias Mi Amigo from Los Trios!

[thewordthatpierces]

It's fun! :) You always post fun/interesting stuff! I like that! :D And NONE of its bad, its always pretty awesome! :D

God Bless ~Amy

[geoff1945]

@thewordthatpierces - Aw, thanks for that Amy. I dare not take myself seriously! lol

[thewordthatpierces]

@geoff1945 You're welcome! You're better for it! I'm still working on not taking myself seriously. ;P

[geoff1945]

@thewordthatpierces - Listen, Amy! You only need to take your music seriously ......but still enjoy it!

[thewordthatpierces]

@geoff1945 lol Working on that. :) I mean, I actually don't take myself extremely seriously all the time, I think my dancing shows that, no one who takes themselves too seriously would dance and crazily as I do and put it on youtube! ;P But then there are times I do, usually when I'm REALLY tired! lol Funny how that works, but I've gotten a lot better at just being relaxed, coming from where I come from (abuse-wise) I guess it was hard for me for a while, but its getting easier!

[krabberscovers]

That was excellent

[geoff1945]

@krabberscovers - Let us know if you want us to come and provide more in-car entertainment.

[geoff1945]

@CharmedQuarkZ99 - Thanks for getting back in time to see it Richard!

[vesternor]

haha!

[geoff1945]

@vesternor - Thanks for commenting, Bernard. Sadly I don't often get real people in my videos!

[Michinil]

lol fun! You have a fantastic imagination!

[geoff1945]

@Michinil -I'm glad it made you laugh, Michele. It was both frustrating and fun to make.

Had to do some contortions to get myself within the screen and then stopping the puppet's head from going astray. The gold jacket was a prop for a play I did in schools...yawn...yawn..!
