Captain Manley & Shannancy's Shanty

[NeilSonOfNorbert]

i loved the moment where thay all say the diferent card games thay think it is, it must have been prity chaotic.

[wiredproxy]

Sweet! Very cool little short, and huzzah for pirates! In the skies I fly, a gang like yours would be more than welcome onboard. ;)

A few questions, out of curiosity... who makes your pirate shirts? I *think* I recognize the pattern, but I'm not totally sure.

Also, what program do you use to edit your videos? I recently found out that for bundled software, iMovie is freaking incredible.

[AdamTheAlien]

@wiredproxy No idea about the shirts. I'd have to ask, and they came from multiple sources - in fact, everyone but myself and Raven furnished their own costumes. Raven and I borrowed bits and pieces from others - the shirt I'm wearing in this belongs to Jeff.

As for editing, I use Adobe Premiere Pro, and have for years. Currently using CS3, though I need to upgrade to CS4 or CS5 as soon as I can afford to, so that I can edit HD projects without format problems.

[wiredproxy]

@AdamTheAlien Good deal. Simple curiosity satisfied! :)

[wiredproxy]

@AdamTheAlien Awesome. Curiosity satisfied. :)

[zottepark]

Holy fuck, Adam this was AWESOME! I'm JUST seeing this (because I'm looking for one of your videos that REALLY got me to subscribe to you-for my website).

Awesome, AWESOME vid (though I noticed in a few shots you wore your glasses and then they were off).

DFTBA

[AdamTheAlien]

@zottepark The glasses issue in what is technically the long shot (I cropped it significantly to reduce the appearance and obviousness of the glasses) is why this video didn't go up back in June. For a while, I was considering painting the glasses out frame-by-frame.

[zottepark]

@AdamTheAlien Oh man, I'm very anal when it comes to continuity. I used to have blatantly obvious continuity flaws in my short films and eventually I'd refilm the entire thing, but yeah. I'm so anal I actually would go in frame by frame and edit certain things out.

And then again there are times when I go through so much trouble to film something, notice errors, and leave them. In my "Work In Progress" video, it became so dark so fast, I just edited around it, shortened the vid by half.

[AdamTheAlien]

@zottepark It's good to be continuity-anal. I would have just refilmed the long shot, but I could emulate the settings for a myriad of reasons, including Shannon returning to Canada.

[YourAverageAdam]

so glad i watched this. well done, mates.

[Shannancy]

I feel like we now have to make another awesomely hilarious video entitled "Enter the Geek"

Because we're all nerdy geeky awesomes.

<333

I have that Pirates of the Caribbean hat the guy with the hot chocolate was wearing!Did you go to Disney to get it?

And was that actually a Harry Potter TCG card?!

Apples to Apples rules...it's best played on a custom-made deck with color-coded index cards and inside jokes,though.

Glad you won the dubloons!:-)

[normantweeter]

@KRSONMar Yes, that's a Disneyland hat. I think I purchased it on my honeymoon. Unfortunately, the jewels I had for it broke. :(

The cards were indeed the cards from the games you think they're from, except for the Hill Giant and Axe of Hurling. Those were from the D&D Trading Card set, which is actually not a game. Not by itself, anyway.

And I definitely agree with you that it's a good thing Adam won the dubloons!

[crockawaddy]

You should check out the real revolutionary war Captain John Manley @ wikipedia

[DrAwkwardTurtle]

there was a pirate festival under the bridge in my neighborhood, you should have gone ;p

[AtreyuHibiki]

What would it take to get "Yo Har Hardy Ho" released as an MP3?

[Shannancy]

@AtreyuHibiki One thousand dollars.

And chocolate.

[AtreyuHibiki]

@Shannancy What if we negotiate? I'll get you exactly half of what you asked for:

The chocolate half.

[CallMeBlake1]

This was great, but everyone knows you can't use stupefy after an axe of hurling LOL ;)

[normantweeter]

@CallMeBlake1 Aye, everyone knows that! Ye can only play hearts or better after an axe of hurling! But as the good captain said, "the cleavage wins!"

[easavoy]

aww. I got a special thanks? :) P.S. This is really awesome, Adam. It genuinely had me laughing tons.

[splicegrrl]

[TresChic16]

[EveryoneLovesRobots]

[NineInchNachos]

I laughed, I cried. I felt every emotion. 

[chrisbogdan]

[ShaynainShambles]

Oh, so many amazing references! Harry Potter, Pokemon, Apples to Apples, Pirates, Abbot and Costello! XD

I'm pretty jealous of the props, too.

Fantastic job!!!

[Starkadia]

That was, indeed, fantastic. And I'm surprised Shannancy's cleavage didn't have it's own cast listing.

[Shannancy]

@Starkadia I was surprised myself.

[Toobis]

Yarr, this be a good show of pirate pride, even it if it be a tad late for Talk Like A Pirate Day.

[CleverestWitch2188]

[spazzumgurl]

Adam, I <3 you something fierce. I've not laughed this hard in a verrrrry long time. Cheers to you all. And remember boy, the cleavage always wins.

[HighKingTurgon]
