About this user
I am an auntie to 3 kids, and we love to make short films together. Our movies are fun to make, and are entertaining and safe for YouTubers of all ages to watch. ☺
I don't think another movie will ever be made, but just enjoy the Mario one, and be inspired to create your own movie of whatever you want! It's easier now than ever to create you own movie and edit it. If it is Nintendo related, send me a link - I'd love to see it!
To anyone who has ever left us an encouraging comment on our videos: ~THANK YOU!~ I read every nice comment, and eventually pass it onto the kids so they know their work is appreciated.
Yay! We now have over 150 subscribers! ♥♥♥
EDIT: OMG now we have 200 subscribers - thank you everyone! :)

--- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ---
-- Q -- How old are the kids in your movies?
-- A -- Their ages range from 5 - 12. :)
-- Q -- How long does it take to make one of your movies?
-- A -- The long ones (like Super Mario Bros.) take about 3 months:
- 1 month for planning/writing the script/making costumes and props
- about 2 weeks for filming (we usually film on weekends and sometimes have to film over different days, or even weeks).
- and about 4 - 6 weeks of editing.
-- Q -- I love your movie. It's so cute!
-- A -- I know it's not really a question, but we get that comment a lot. Firstly, thank you. My aim wasn't really to make the movies "cute" but they just turn out that way. Heheh.
-- Q -- When are you going to make another Mario movie?
-- A -- Sorry to say, but we don't have any plans to make a sequel any time soon. Maybe in a couple of years we will...
-- Q -- How did you make the costumes/props?
-- A -- The costumes were made with old clothes around the house, or I had to go and buy the clothes and alter them to make the costumes.
The props were made with cardboard, paint, and anything else from a craft store. I just used my imagination.
-- Q -- Can you make a movie about [fill in the blank]?
-- A -- The kids are getting older now, so probably not. But why don't you make your own movie? It's a lot of fun, and they will be great to watch when you're an adult yourself.
-- Q -- Where did you get the music that you used in the Mario movie?
-- A -- I got it from a soundtrack called "Smashing... Live!" which is a CD with orchestrated versions of Nintendo music played by the New Japan Philharmonic. The track I used is from a medley of different Mario songs and the track is called "Smash Bros. Grand Melody". You can download the mp3 (as well as all of the mp3s from that album) here: http://downloads.khinsider.com/game-soundtracks/album/smashing...-live-live-orchestra-music
(just copy and paste the above URL to your address bar then remove the spaces in the link, right click each track name and click 'save as' to save the songs)
-- Q -- Where did you get the sound effects?
-- A -- Various places on the Internet. Google is your friend. =) If you specifically want to know where I got the Super Mario sound effects from, write me a message and I will send them to you.
-- Q -- What programs did you use to make your movies?
-- A -- I use Video Edit Magic to edit the footage, WinAvi Video Converter to convert between file formats, and LSMaker (free software) to to put on the special effects like lightsabers, fireballs, lightning, fireworks etc.
