Tails of the Merman - Episode 5

Andy and I are helping a friend put together a video for a project, and the project has taken on a life of its own.....

The original 10 minute video has changed into something about 45 minutes long so it is being changd to a classic serial format.

Here is part 1 of many more to come....

Love it! You need to do the whole Tiki Bar TV set up with this. Can't wait to see more.

I LOVE IT!!!! Very well done, nice text intros, great acting, fabulous music....sure to be a classic....can't wait till the next episode. :)

I can't wait to see how the Rum Gods respond. I can only hope their reply is swift!!!

Good job,

Jungle Jennifer

That is cool. I am in to this new world of Mermen and there adventures.

Love the first episode, can't wait for more! Just to be clear, this isn't the adventures of Ethel Merman, is it?

From the Merman.....

It's out, finally. This time, there's a contest. I'd like more hits, it's all about the whuffie :wink:
So, please leave comments on either the youtube or the myspace page. And for the contest, the first 5 people who guess what the merman is reading (and the incorrect guess that makes me shoot mai tai out my nose) will get a real tangible prize. Leave your guess on the youtube or myspace page because more comments lead to more views. Even if you don't have a guess, please rate the vid an leave comments. I'm curious as to how far this thing can go. So far, the trailer is up to over 2,000 views between youtube and myspace. And now, here are the links:

Episode 2: Special Delivery - Youtube

All videos - Youtube (right now episode 2 isn't showing up, but sometimes there's a lag)

Episode 2: Special Delivery - Myspace

All videos - Myspace

the merman's myspace page if you're not a "friend" yet

Cheers

Very campy....can't wait for Part III. :tiki:

And, here you go.....

Allright, I finally finished episode 3 last night and it's up on youtube: http://youtube.com/exp33 as well as myspace: http://myspace.com/meetthemerman

The party guests arrive. How do they react to the merman? And, what about the henchmen?

New Contest:  
What would you do with the merman's magic rum? Best answers will receive a higher res dvd of the series when it's complete. Leave your ideas in the youtube or myspace comments.

To make the merman's magic rum, roast a whole ginger root (about the size of your hand) in an oven at 450 degrees for about 30 minutes. Let it cool and slice it, then add it to some rum. It gets spicy fast, so taste it every so often. If found that about 8 hours is plenty.

All entries in the Episode 2 contest will receive dvds. Lots of clever answers, my favorite I think would be "20,000 Liters of Rum Under the Sea." The correct answer, guessed by one poster was "Sippin Safari" by Beachbum Berry. I hope to have the dvds ready in time for the holidays.

Hope you enjoy!

AND.... also from the Merman:

The merman needs a bit of help. We tried to do some filming at the Wreck Bar last night, but we had to cancel the show due to lightning. We had a great time having cocktails regardless. What we really need is crowd shots and the crowd wasn't so big anyway. So, if anybody has any video at all from the mermaid show at the wreck bar please pm me and we'll see if I can splice it into a future episode of the Merman series.

Send me (chip and andy) a PM, or contact the Merman via MySpace if you can help out.

Episode 4 is ready and includes music by Waitiki and Haole Kats.

I particularly love the fight scene and the blender solo from Waitiki is a thing of beauty!
