Joking about jobs that they have to do in order to make a short video, Emily Frankel and John Cullum complain about what's involved -- getting the ideas, arranging the lights, testing the microphone, and the out-of-whack things that the MAC camera does with color.
As they are describing the problems, you can see how the ultra sensitive camera misbehaves.
Ah yes, the magic; or ma-geak! I like the temperament of your microphone. I'm a big fan of Douglas Adams. He created the idea of objects that are believed to be ordinary items but are really intelligent life forms like ball point pens and a particular shade of the color purple; all good fun. Set designing is a lot of work and I have never focused on it in your videos. It doesn't distract the viewers attention from the stars; so, it is quite effective; but you already know that. That was a nice curve ball Emily. Baseball season is underway; spring training that is.
You two are so hilarious and cute and I love the idea all throughout the video.... I think that it is Fun indeed Keep the Magic and Tell the Truth... Yes, well stated... Sending you all my best wishes!. Aquileana :)

HOW I GOT HERE
I'm a writer, writing things that haven't brought me fame, but continue to involve me, inspire me to find an audience.
I started out as a modern dancer, contemporary, but balletic. I didn't want to be a swan, or a barefoot dancer. I wanted to dance to the music that thrilled me as a child, and made me want to be a dancer.
I began writing in the truck my first husband, Mark Ryder and I bought, in order to carry our set, props, and costumes for a long one-night-stands tour -- eighty-eighty performances in eighty-eight cities.
We were performing "Romeo and Juliet" nightly, but our marriage was breaking up. Every day while our stage manager drove us two-hundred miles or so to the next booking, I'd type a detailed description of last night -- what we did well, what we argued about, and a travelogue about the town, and comments from the people at the nightly party.
Recovering from the trip and the divorce, I sent my "car book" to a friend who said -- "Em, it's great, but ..." And that became rewrites, and another book. Then, my marriage to actor John Cullum, and then a play that got produced, and another book, big hopes because a famous agent loved it. The title and concept changed five times -- now it's been published, finally, as "Somebody, Woman of the Century." You can buy it, or read about it and my other five novels on Emily Frankel.com
