The Wolfs Dance Branson

In August 2009, we spent a week at Big Cedar Lodge near Branson, Missouri with two great families--the Williams and the Burts. This is our video.

Our previous video of Disney had a huge built-in web audience of Disney-philes which this video won't have. There aren't large subcultures of people who collect Branson memorabilia. Or if they do, they're not aware it's a Branson fixation...velvet Elvis; dogs playing poker; "I'm with Stupid" t-shirts, etc.

(If they TRULY are Branson collectors, the only video searches they do are in the VHS discount bin at the Dollar General; not on YouTube.)

So if you like it, please watch it seventy times. That should help me keep pace with the Orlando video. Also, please give this video five stars. Five stars will mean that my children can continue to eat; that my wife will remain beautiful; and that I will be able to keep my chin up and take on the day. Thank you.

The video was produced on a Sony HDR-XR500V camcorder. Underwater portions were shot with an Olympus 1030 SW water-resistant camera. The project was edited with iMovie '09, with some help from the Elders at the Church of Mac.

Another adorable video. I must ask though, what's wrong with the spelling of Caribbean? Have I been spelling it wrong all these years?

[brutewolf]

@vanabannana Hah! You're only the second person who noticed...or at least said anything. They had tubes with "Caribbean" & "Carribean". I loaded the wrong pic. I spent so much time learning how to make that stupid flashing yellow oval around it, that I never even noticed it until the day I downloaded it. (But I am proud of the flashing oval.)

[vanabannana]

@brutewolf Haha I must say, I was blown away by the flashing yellow oval myself :) Great work! I see that you've posted clips of a high school play also. Are you a theater teacher? Your family certainly has a flair for theatrics!

[brutewolf]

@vanabannana Thanks for the props on my oval. I'm very proud. No, my wife and I are both doctors. That's my niece playing Juliet in the school play. Video was never really a hobby until the response to our Disney video. We just got back from a cruise, and I'm putting together the video from that. Are you planning on putting together a project? Let me know if I can help.

As a resident of Branson...I love the video! :-) So glad you had fun at Big Cedar and hope you can come back soon. If you do, can I vacation with you guys?

[brutewolf]

Thanks! I think most of the traffic here has been from the Disney community. It's good to see it circulating in Branson a little. Feel free to pass it around! BTW, if someone wants to pick up the tab from Big Cedar, I'll let anyone vacation with us. Not a cheap place...but truly amazing.

Cutest family ever

[vanabannana]

@brutewolf I found your videos through your post on a cruise forum about your Oasis cruise. My husband and I are cruising on her for Thanksgiving. I had never considered doing a vacation video before, but I love your family videos so much! I'm certain it is something we will want to do when we have kids, but we're talking about trying to make a short goofy one with just the 2 of us on Oasis to give us some footage which which to learn.
