[history]
With the help of some really magnanimous people -- most specifically the generous and talented Jeffers M. Dodge -- I managed to revisit my Unspun ways.
In 2004, a posse of Hollywood stars came out en masse to lend their hip, fabulous selves to the presidential campaign of John F. Kerry, confident that their added (and, frankly, much needed) sparkle would ensure the defeat of incumbent President George W. Bush. Did Shiny Objects indeed distract The People? Post election, and post a rather ignominious defeat, their standard-bearer Michael Moore stated that they were indeed victorious -- that they had successfully "prevented a Bush landslide." Was that really the sole outcome? In other words, when they returned from their forays into flyover country did they find that their thrones had maintained their elevation in their absence?
Hope you enjoy it!

Wow Anna!
Fantaztic and su-synct to say the least.
Good job!
I was wondering what you were talking about a few days ago when you said you got out with a camera again...
(When it first came up I said to myself, why the heck did she use Jennifer Annizon??)
Oh PS As well as right on Q&A's, you looked GRATE!

It usually goes out at ~7 AM EST...since you're not on the ping list, I've just made a note to add you just for tomorrow...now, all I need do is to actually read my note--either that or incur your wrath!!! :-)

Lose the music. I didn't catch half of what was being said.
As I mentioned upthread, all the music does is serve to even out the street noise. It's really tough to capture sound well whilst "guerrilla filmmaking". It's not pretty, but it's real.
Besides, the only mic I used was attached to my vest. I couldn't exactly thrust my chest at them each time I spoke, now could I?
I don't think the billboard is a good idea. Never stop your opponent from making mistakes.
Don't worry... somehow I feel that arrogance will ensure that they miss the point.

I enjoyed it but tone down the music a little. It's difficult to hear what the people are actually saying.

LOL.
At this point all I can say is, please read the thread.
Thanks so much for suffering for me. It is truly quite appreciated.

I love your sense of humor.....
And I love that you're one of the people that consistently gets it. A lot of times I fear I am solely amusing myself. (Which is still probably not untrue... LOL)
