Title: THE NOTES ACCORDING TO HOYLE
Post by: bk on July 05, 2011, 12:08:52 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes were according to Hoyle and BK, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - according to Hoyle, who passed away in the 1700s whilst waiting for the cows to come home, it will be soon.

Post by: bk on July 05, 2011, 12:16:22 AM: As promised, here are seven variations on cover options for Nudie Musical. My dictum was I wanted it colorful, I wanted it to pop, I wanted it to have a sense of style and elegance and most of all fun and I wanted to use the Jimmy Pearsall chorus girl. So, here they are - you'll notice some contain the cast over the title, some under - some contain two critic quotes, some don't - there are three variations on what we call "sparkly" the sparkly curtain - one with a yellow outfit, one with a gold outfit, and one with the standard black. So, post comments about which grabs your eye, which gives you the most positive feeling, knowing what we were going for - whether you like the quotes or you like the bottom third with the empty look - whether you'd move the cast names below rather than above the title (on the steps, usually, for the ones with stairs). I've already pretty much discounted two of these designs, but wanted to include them. I've kind of narrowed it down to two designs, one of which I'm definitely favoring - but I need to narrow the details down - quotes or no quotes (I do think it helps give it perspective to include them), quotes in colored lettering or white (they're all in white, save for one in blue on one design, which I kind of like), and where the cast names should go. These are absolutely in no particular order:

Post by: bk on July 05, 2011, 12:20:25 AM: I wish I could have made these bigger so you could see the quotes, but you get the idea. Keep in mind, we can change colors, we can move quotes, add them, delete them, etc.

My first instinct is that I like this one...maybe with the lettering in black. But I do like the title only being in the outfit, not additionally on another line, like post #s 5 and 6.

On this one and post #6, I don't like the steps being empty. I think that they need something...maybe the cast could be on the steps. Not in one line, but something like this:

starring:
Bruce Kimmel
Cindy Williams
Stephen Nathan

...so that there is a bit of depth.

I prefer this one but I would remove the title of the show from below the chorus girl

In my opinion the small bright "spotlight" on top of the larger less bright spotlight in 1-3 gives a "snow man" look which i find distracting and makes it difficult to see the chorus girl properly

Post by: elmore3003 on July 05, 2011, 06:25:28 AM: Good morning, all! I am feeling a bit lazy today and wondering what fresh hell will arrive today; July 5th hasn't been a good day for me in several years. In 2006, it was the year the Macbeths revealed their true colors, let me know how much they disliked me, and let my dad know they couldn't wait for him to die for whatever value they could inherit from the occason. This year, I expect today more fallout from yesterday's Ohio Light Opera can of worms. I hope not, but there are still possible repercussions from the executive director and chief financial exponent.

Ah, well. Life goes on. I have work to do, and at 2:45 I'm seeing a new dermatologist, Robin Buccholtz. The last one vanished and left me in the lurch. Thank you, HIP!

Last night's fireworks displays were unbelievable from our new house. We could see north as far as Vancouver, then downtown Portland, then Oaks Park and out east to Mt. Scott. We were in Big Timber, Montana last fourth so had not seen how many displays we could see here at home. Amazing.

Cool!!! We can't see them from here. Apparently, until the year we moved here, the fireworks used to be at the lake & we would have been able to see them. Now they are in town at one of the parks so we have only gone a couple of times.

I recently spent $1200 on a new pair of glasses--and can't even see properly with them. I dread going back to the optometrist; I told him at the time that I didn't think the new Rx was right, but he insisted it was. He's a very nice man, but DIDN'T LISTEN!!

I prefer this one but I would remove the title of the show from below the chorus girl

In my opinion the small bright "spotlight" on top of the larger less bright spotlight in 1-3 gives a "snow man" look which i find distracting and makes it difficult to see the chorus girl properly

I didn't even think about the spotlights and the "snow man" effect...now that I see that (on my original choice), I also find it very distracting. I think that I like this one (above) more.

I doubt she'll finish the route until long after she's gone into overtime. And the PO bitches about costs while they employ fools wasting their time and money. Goddam.

Post by: bk on July 05, 2011, 03:13:12 PM: Then I had a refreshing apple, then I made an extremely snippy post on the film score messageboard. This was the first week in a year when I was the only release happening. People finally had a breather and too many choices, and funnily, yesterday's orders reflected that. So, what happens this morning? Another label decides to announce a new title - out of the blue - four weeks ago they printed their upcoming release schedule, said it would not change, and said they were on vacation this week and there would be no release. But these gluttons couldn't let it be, they just had to do it and as expected our orders simply stopped. I'm sorry, that's just bad form, one-upsmanship, and sickening and that label has done it to me and others before. They are entitled young people, the people who are running it - nothing matters but their own greed and gluttony and they have single-handedly been harming this whole limited edition thing. Thanks to their never-ending gluttony, things that would have sold out a year ago are not selling out at all - and that includes their own stuff. You'd think these people would learn, but they just get worse and worse and I am nauseated by it. If you announce to the world that you'll be on vacation and no releases will be announced during that time, then live up to your word - otherwise you're a scummy liar.

I feel that post #7 although interest at the size it is it online looks too busy.

I also like the stairs on #8 and perhaps put the stairs on #2 or 4

I prefer this one but I would remove the title of the show from below the chorus girl

In my opinion the small bright "spotlight" on top of the larger less bright spotlight in 1-3 gives a "snow man" look which i find distracting and makes it difficult to see the chorus girl properly

I agree

I like this one the best. I find the "snowman" distracting and didn't realize what it was at first. I don't care for the "cone" or the empty steps. I agree with Vixmom and others about the nudes; much better without them.

I agree with DR Jeanne.

I do like the sparkly curtains, but just in general, not for this purpose.

I think BK should just go with what he thinks is the best.

We're actually making great progress so far. There have been a few very minor tweaks here and there, but, all in all, we've basically just been running the show in costumes, with lights and sound for the first time.

DR Jose - are you using the original orchestrations? The BandStration? Or the Brohn over-orchestrated fiasco?

Our "band" is 12 pieces: Violin, Cello, Bass, Flute/Piccolo, Oboe/English Horn, Clarinet/Bass Clarinet, Trumpet, French Horn, Trombone, Guitar/Banjo, Percussion, Keyboard (mainly Harp and "inner" strings).

It's all based on Robert Russell Bennett's originals, with tweaks as needed for our reduced forces.

DR Cillaliz touched on this yesterday... -How did "everyone" get so personally invested in this case? The reaction on Twitter really caught me off guard. People were truly angry and confused about the verdict. It's not like this was the only murder case in the country right now, nor was it the only verdict handed down today. Yes, it's a tragic case, but... She didn't kill your child, and from what little I've read, it's not like this case would have set any precedents or changed any laws.
