VM (not quite) Live from Philly!
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Sure. They will need some training to avoid the cameras and pyro. But yes. All six of them.BRWombat wrote:Not that this has gotten out of hand or anything, but... will there be any room left for an audience? :D:
Do you guys really need an audience?
We also need to give delsdad a lighting budget... delsdad, does $450,236.52 sound like an amount you could work with? Oh, and you get to keep the lights, as long as I have free use of them for life when you are not personally using them. In fact, if you like, I'll house them here in Florida for you for when you come to visit the parks. Yeah, that's it!

Re: VM (not quite) Live from Philly!
The Chorus is an important part of this video. The pyro will only accent. Well, the visible pyro will only accent... The stuff outside will be much greater in volume... to tell everyone that you guys are here, of course.

Of course. You know, the VM was the first (and so far, to my knowledge, only) performer to use pyro on the International stage, for our swan song in Denver, 2007 -- my first performance with the chorus:Big Wallaby wrote:The Chorus is an important part of this video.

I'm thinking avatars.
Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Hey, as long as we're going the animatronic route, why not go all the way and make it a permanent attraction -- and I know the perfect venue. The VM could provide the soundtrack for... the Hall of Harmony!ktulu wrote:You may be onto something, we could use animatronics!
Granted it might be difficult to create animatronics that can handle the front row choreography...

Okay, but I still want royalties for being Executive Producer, Producer, Directory, Writer, Best Boy, Grip, and Executive Producer.BRWombat wrote:Hey, as long as we're going the animatronic route, why not go all the way and make it a permanent attraction -- and I know the perfect venue.
