Life With Wee People: First On Deck
Stephen, the Blur Minion is going to be fascinating to animate. Little Dude can't read, so the trick is to get him to help us create part of the open house real estate scripts by capturing him on film in as many open houses / by appointment only showings as possible. The kids impressions of homes are going to be live thoughts so I found myself thinking every webisode is probably going to have a Autistic/PDD-NOS surprise (LOL). I love Charlie Brown so we are minimizing the adults (LOL). ;-)
We're thinking our best bet is to make them 6 minutes or less and showcase the real home after the cartoon blurb. My kids already think they are mini-Realtors and habitually run up and down the Eastern seaboard peeking at properties with me so this is going to be mad fun for us. We watch cartoons together everyday so Noah is very excited about the experiment. He really gets it (LOL).
We don't know what our final visual style will be, so the animations may keep changing while we figure it out. In two hours I will be out on the deck having frosties with the shorties and chatting about house theme songs.
Each house has a distinct personality so we're thinking each house should have it's own song.
"The Chocolate House" is live in iTunes and my kids are absolutely wild about Lucy's home (and so am I - I am talking Lady Ga Ga wild - LOL). If the kids behave I may have the final cut for that project processed and posted later today. It's remarkable how a lovely environment can inspire one to create music and art. :-)
Wait until you hear what we cooked up for the Chanukah House listing. Stephen was in awe... He's never seen a home with seven cool distinctive kitchens. Watching my kids make themselves at home and chase Max the Cat was mad fun. BTW, I always wanted to see Al Capone's stove. It's in perfect working order on the lower level. How cool is that? VERY!!!!
We are on the prowl for a cool New York open house. I've sent out a few e-mails to let a couple of brokers know our exact location. The shorties will be helping me do a bit of Dutchess County Localism between recording sessions. Hiking in Lakeside Park happens to be a fave thing to do. I brought our picnic cooler. Did I mention we have toys? We do you know... lots and lots of toys (plus a Spiderman blankie - LOL). ;-)
