h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I said in my other journal that I'm often very productive just after being ill. Well, I have been:

That, ladies and gents, is the first dry run of the Beeblecast It shows what we're trying to achieve by making it; a fast-action, chaotic piece showing the best that h2g2 has to offer. I'm incredibly excited about the whole thing; at the moment, the possibilities of what we could do with AV seem endless, and I've tried to set up the project in a way that everyone can be involved, whether they can make AV or not.

If it's the sort of project you think you could get involved with, the original Beeblecasting article is at A29805636, and the AViators page is at A13264670. If you don't think you can contribute - well, just sit back and enjoy the clip!

For now, I'm going relax and enjoy a little

And well deserved the is, too!

I'm just as excited, it's so fantastic.

That is fantastic! I'm definitely off to check out the AViators. I'd love to get involved, but I'm so busy at the moment! I'll have a look-see.

Great job!

OK, let's bring this to the top of the conversation lists everywhere.

More than 190 views, that's a good result for a few hours.

Fankoo!

It isn't bad, is it? It's brilliant that it's getting seen so much.

Have you seen broe's tagline? Great idea, I think I should follow suit. Have you thought of posting to the Beeblecast page, Rich? Might be a good idea, don't you think?

That's a very good idea

And good work, broe - the more publicity, the better

You know, I have my moments.

I had a look, it's interesting. Need to watch it properly to form a proper opinion (although I swear I've heard the in/outbox monologue before...)

It's from the Post article at A26666850, Psycorp. All the material used in this clip has been on h2g2 previously, but the real Beeblecast will feature all-new material.

I've set my ghostwriter on the case.

Thought so!

Hi, I thought I'd stop by and add some gratuitous grumpiness to your journal

That out of the way, may I say congratulations on the beeblecast

Mebbe, I'll just pop over to youtube now and pad the ratings a little.

Thanks, pailaway!

Brilliant Rich

I have to second Pailaway. This is a rather upbeat entry, Mr. Skanky.

But for good reason. Nice stuff. A good length. One thing: due to the variety of accents and the not-CD-quality of most pc recordings, it may be worth emphasizing enunciation for all narrators. And that concludes our constructive criticism for today.

And I wish you all the best!

Having no Camcorder or Digicam, it is beyond my abilities, and just shows how little I can contribute to HooToo these days, but I seriously hope it all works well.

Best wishes...

'Having no Camcorder or Digicam, it is beyond my abilities...'

No, it's not! That's the whole point of the Beeblecast - write something, think of something, just have a good idea

*Everyone* can Beeblecast. You provide the spark, we'll make the clip. If you write the text, we'll 'cast it. We can can even write the text for you to read so that we can cast it if you want.

You can all do what you want with this I hope it's a laugh all round....
